Pelvic Health Rehabilitation
You may find it comforting to know that one in four women 20 years or older
suffer from a variety of symptoms and conditions that affect the pelvis,
bladder and uterus region. Most commonly referred to as pelvic floor dysfunction,
these conditions negatively impact the lives of women in many uncomfortable
and, sometimes embarrassing ways.
