Women's Health Program

Regardless of her age or the number of children she has had, a woman can benefit from physical therapy if she experiences
any of the following:

• Urine loss when coughing, laughing or sneezing
• Inability to make it to the bathroom in time
• Pelvic pain or tension
• Limited activities because of symptoms
• Musculoskeletal pain during pregnancy

The Women's Health Program of University Hospital's Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department provides comprehensive services that are not found elsewhere in the region.

The program combines physical therapy examination, training, treatment and education to address women's unique health needs and problems.

The Women's Health Program is successful in reaching goals for the majority of women treated. Problems such as incontinence can generally be treated in four to six visits. Utilizing cost effective, simple techniques, the program can produce remarkable results.
