Pelvic floor therapy can provide meaningful relief for patients in Daly City who are experiencing discomfort or dysfunction. At our clinic, physical and occupational therapists with advanced post-graduate training in pelvic floor anatomy deliver care that targets the root causes of your symptoms. Our approach ensures that you are treated holistically, considering your complete health rather than just the localized pelvic issues.

For Daly City patients who are struggling with pain, urinary leakage, or sexual dysfunction stemming from musculoskeletal, neurological, gastrointestinal, reproductive, or urinary systems, we offer personalized evaluation and therapy plans. The causes of these issues can include trauma, surgery, pregnancy, or medications. To learn more about these conditions and treatment approaches, please explore the relevant sections of our website.

How We Can Help You In Daly City

pelvic pain rehab

If you are experiencing pelvic pain or dysfunction in Daly City, scheduling a session with a pelvic health physical and occupational therapist is an important step toward addressing your concerns. During your initial evaluation, your therapist will carefully review your medical history, discuss your current symptoms, examine any past diagnoses, and consider the effectiveness of prior treatments. Many patients feel overlooked or misunderstood before coming to our clinic, which is why we prioritize understanding your individual journey and performing a thorough physical assessment of muscles, nerves, joints, and movement patterns.

Following the evaluation, your therapist will explain the results and guide you in understanding how your symptoms developed. You will receive a plan designed to meet your specific needs, with measurable objectives for both short-term relief and long-term health. Most Daly City patients attend one to two sessions per week over approximately twelve weeks and receive a customized home exercise program. Your therapist will also work with other members of your healthcare team to ensure a coordinated approach that supports your recovery and overall well-being.
