Women often develop age-related conditions over time that can interfere with their full enjoyment of life. Many older women may suffer from incontinence, osteoporosis or joint pain that makes daily activities difficult. Others recovering from hysterectomy or breast cancer may need specialized care to return to a normal life. Pregnancy and child-rearing can be accompanied by physical demands that lead to low back pain, swelling and pelvic conditions.
At Cambria Physical Therapy, we believe that education coupled with individualized, compassionate treatment can help you enjoy life once again. Our therapists fully explain the science behind your treatment and partner with you on getting your life back on track.
Treatments include:
Biofeedback – For women who need pelvic pain treatments or urinary incontinence treatment or who have had a difficult delivery, biofeedback can be an effective treatment. A vaginal monitor helps women with muscle tension, relaxation and Kegel muscle training. Specialized core strengthening exercises can help manage pelvic conditions. Computerized graphics can measure improvements in muscle tone, coordination, strength and control.
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) – Electrical stimulation can be used to treat urinary incontinence by sending a mild electric current to the pelvic muscles that are involved in urination.
Aquatic therapy – Cambria Physical Therapy is the only center in the area to offer the SwimEx swimming pool designed specifically for aquatic therapy. Our heated pool provides gentle resistance through an underwater current that improves strength, endurance and range of motion.
Lymphedema management – Women who have been treated for breast cancer and have developed lymphedema can find relief from the buildup of fluid through compression, bandages, exercises and special massages that can help move fluid out of your arm.
The good news is that the right types of therapies can provide relief from these conditions and more. From manual therapies and biofeedback to electrical stimulation, we offer the broadest array of treatments available for returning you to an active lifestyle.
