It’s no secret that men and women have some differences in their anatomies. So, when it comes to treating pain and stiffness related to female-specific conditions, it’s important for women to be able to find a physical therapist who can help.
At Peak Performance Sports and Physical Therapy in New Bern, North Carolina, our team specializes in treatments that can help women with physical pain and stiffness.
Women’s health physical therapy services
Our physical therapists are highly skilled in providing a variety of natural treatments to help women with common causes of pain and stiffness, including:
- Pelvic pain — The pelvic floor contains muscles, soft tissue and bones that provide motion in the pelvic region and help support your upper-body weight. Pain and stiffness can develop in this region due to chronic conditions like strains and sprains or due to traumatic injuries. Physical therapists can help women rebuild strength and flexibility in the pelvic region to help reduce and prevent pain.
- Pregnancy and post-pregnancy pain — Pregnancy is a wonderful thing, but it takes a heavy toll on your body. Physical therapists can help you regain strength and flexibility after pregnancy to help you get back in shape for your favorite activities.
- Osteoporosis — Osteoporosis is a degenerative condition that causes a decline in your bone density. This can cause the bones to be more brittle and prone to fractures. Physical therapists can help you improve strength and flexibility to provide better support for your bones and resist fractures.
- Arthritis — Arthritis is a chronic condition that causes the cartilage in your joints to wear down. This leads to pain and stiffness in the joints that grows worse over time and contributes to pain and stiffness in other parts of your body. There is no known cure for arthritis, but physical therapists can help slow its progression, manage the pain and improve your range of motion.
With the exception of pregnancy, many of these conditions can affect men as well, although they’re more common in women. Whether you’re a male or female, if you’re suffering from pain and stiffness that may be related to one of these conditions or something else, talk to your doctor or a physical therapist about your treatment options.
