Incontinence
Report
Millions of people suffer from bladder/bowel control problems, yet it is, understandably, still a very sensitive subject. Women suffer from this condition more often than men, as a result of childbirth, menopause and female urinary structure. However many men also suffer from these issues as a result of prostate dysfunctions, surgical procedures, or male urinary structure.
Abdominal/Breast/Pelvic Surgery
Report
Unfortunately, many women devote so much time, energy and courage to simply getting through breast cancer surgery that they often neglect their recovery plan. A proper recovery plan requires attention to psychological, mental, and physical healing. If women are able to regain control of their physical recovery, it will indirectly affect the other components in the recovery plan.
Prenatal/Postpartum
Report
Hands-on treatment such as soft-tissue work, massage, gentle mobilization and stabilization exercises.
