What can Denise Alberto Physical Therapy Inc., do for you?

- Physical therapists evaluate the pelvic floor muscles and develop an individual program that may include: External and internal pelvic floor massage, relaxation training, biofeedback, strengthening, electrical stimulation, bladder retraining, postural retraining and home exercises.

- Teach strategies to manage flare-ups and provide you with the tools to create a healing environment for your body.

- With your input, help you to determine the best method to facilitate your recovery.

- Encourage and aid you in maximizing your effort and energy into your guided home program.

The physical therapy evaluation includes a complete postural assessment, low back screening, and testing of the pelvic floor for strength, coordination, tension, and tenderness in the muscles. I may use both biofeedback and palpating (feeling) the muscles of the pelvic floor as part of the evaluation. Based on the findings, we develop a treatment plan to help restore your pelvic floor/region health. Be assured that my treatment plan always takes your personal goals into account. The frequency and duration of physical therapy varies per individual and is estimated on completion of the evaluation, although usually between 6 to 12 visits. Treatment will continue treating you only if we see measurable progress and you report improved quality of life.

If you are experiencing any of the symptoms above and would like to know if therapy could help you, please contact me. I would be happy to speak with you!

Please note: You will need a referral from your medical doctor with a diagnosis of your condition.
