HEALTH SERVICES Flex offers professional evaluation and treatment for some of the special conditions affecting women and pelvic floor conditions affecting both men and women. Our therapists have advanced training in the treatment of incontinence, pelvic pain, and musculoskeletal problems occurring during pregnancy and post partum. Compassionate one-on-one care is offered for— Incontinence (loss of bladder or bowel control) This condition now affects over 17 million people in the U.S. - about 85% of them are women. Proper exercise of the pelvic floor muscles can dramatically improve, even cure, this condition. Biofeedback provides patients with a visual picture of how well the muscles are working to assist with learning the exercises and making them more effective. Dietary and lifestyle changes are also considered. Pelvic Pain Pelvic pain may be associated with conditions such as pelvic muscle tension, pudendal neuralgia, interstitial cystitis, vulvodynia in women and chronic prostatitis in men. Muscle and joint problems in the low back, sacroiliac joints and hips can affect pelvic floor muscles and these areas are also evaluated. Treatment consists of a variety of techniques including exercise, manual therapy, biofeedback and electrical stimulation. Coccydynia or tailbone pain Coccyx pain can result from childbirth injury, a fall or other trauma. This is treated in conjunction with the pelvic floor, sacroiliac joints and other pelvic dysfunction. Pregnancy and post partum related pain Flex can help expectant and new mothers with the pain they experience before and after childbirth. Back pain and other musculoskeletal complaints can often be improved through the use of soft tissue and joint mobilizations, posture education and proper exercise. Osteoporosis Over 28 million Americans suffer from low bone mass—80% are women. Flex offers prevention programs that can help you maintain good posture and facilitate bone health.
