Wellness

Here at Physical Therapy @ ACAC, we offer an array of women's health services. Our highly trained physical therapists specialize in helping patients with osteoporosis, incontinence, pelvic pain, and pre- and post-partum problems.

Mild back pain is not uncommon during or after pregnancy, but when it interferes with daily activities, physical therapy can help. Our Baby Your Back class, held every six weeks, provides tips for avoiding or reducing back pain. The class teaches you how to maintain proper posture and good body mechanics as you care for your baby.

Our osteoporosis program teaches safe and effective exercises for gaining and maintaining bone density. Knowing how to lift and bend properly is key to doing the weight bearing exercise that maintains bone health. Our program will also help you improve your balance and maintain proper posture, the best way to avoid injury.

Finally our program of exercises, biofeedback, electrical stimulation and manual therapies can improve urine and fecal leakage symptoms, a common problem among men and women of all ages, by strengthening the muscles of the low back, pelvis and sling muscles which support the bladder, uterus and rectum.
