How We Can Help You
For those living in Los Feliz, pelvic health concerns don’t have to go unaddressed. The right step is a thorough pelvic health physical and occupational therapy evaluation. During this initial appointment, your therapist will take time to review your full history, current symptoms, and previous treatments. We understand that by the time many people get to us, they’ve already been through a lot. That’s why we approach each patient with empathy, aiming to uncover the root causes of your discomfort.
Your physical examination will focus on key areas such as muscle integrity, joint mobility, nerve sensitivity, and movement functionality. Once we’ve collected this information, we’ll share our findings with you and develop a tailored plan that includes both short- and long-term goals. Treatment typically involves one or two sessions per week for about 12 weeks. To enhance your progress, a home exercise program will be provided, and we’ll collaborate with your other healthcare providers as needed. If you’re in Los Feliz, know that expert pelvic health care is within reach, and we’re here to walk with you every step of the way.
