How We Can Help You
For those suffering from pelvic health issues, seeking a pelvic physical and occupational therapy evaluation is an important and empowering move toward recovery. During your session, the physical and occupational therapists will gather detailed information about your symptoms, past diagnoses, previous treatments, and whether those interventions provided relief. We know that many people in the Carlsbad area come to us after months or even years of seeking answers—and we are here to listen with compassion and expertise.
The physical evaluation itself involves a thorough review of your muscle strength, tissue health, joint mobility, nerve involvement, and movement mechanics. After completing the examination, your therapist will walk you through your specific results and explain what those findings mean. This information forms the foundation of your custom assessment, which identifies possible causes of your condition and establishes both short-term and long-term treatment goals.
Typically, patients attend physical and occupational therapy sessions one or two times a week, continuing for about 12 weeks. Your care doesn’t stop there—you’ll also receive a structured home program designed to reinforce your recovery between visits. Your therapist will also work closely with your other healthcare providers to make sure your treatment in Carlsbad is well-coordinated and comprehensive. We’re here to help you reclaim your strength and move forward with confidence.
