Women’s Pelvic Floor
Occupational Therapy Services
At Pivotal Pelvis, we are devoted to women's pelvic health, offering a comprehensive occupational therapy program tailored for those experiencing conditions like endometriosis, PCOS, pregnancy-related changes, and postpartum recovery.
Cassidy is expertly trained in female pelvic floor therapy, addressing a range of issues from chronic pelvic pain to pelvic floor dysfunction during and after pregnancy. Our approach combines education, manual therapy, and targeted pelvic floor exercises, specifically designed for women.
We are committed to alleviating discomfort, enhancing wellness, and supporting women through every stage of their pelvic health journey.
During pregnancy, we focus on strengthening and preparing the pelvic floor and related muscles, aiming to enhance comfort, reduce potential complications, and facilitate smoother postpartum recovery. Let us support you in maintaining a strong, healthy pelvic foundation during this pivotal phase of life.
