How We Can Help You
For residents of Burbank dealing with pelvic health symptoms, a physical and occupational therapy evaluation is a crucial first step on your path to recovery. During this session, we take time to understand your medical background, symptoms, prior diagnoses, and what treatments you’ve already explored—plus how well (or poorly) they worked. We realize that by the time patients find their way to us, many are frustrated or overwhelmed, and we’re here to listen and guide you forward with care.
The physical examination is designed to assess your muscles, connective tissues, nerves, and movement mechanics. Once this is complete, we’ll sit down with you to review the results and explain what they mean. From there, your physical and occupational therapists creates a personalized treatment plan, including immediate goals and long-term objectives. Sessions usually occur once or twice per week for approximately 12 weeks. To further support your progress, we provide a home exercise program and work collaboratively with your broader care team. Burbank residents can count on us to help restore their health and quality of life.
