Services
Physical Therapy for Women can offer a non-surgical approach to many person's health issues. We focus on providing thorough education, facilitating pain relief, and improving the quality of life for each person who receives our services. Therapy consists of one-hour treatments provided by a licensed Physical Therapist/Physical Therapist Assistant.
Millions of people suffer from bladder/bowel control problems, yet it is, understandably, still a very sensitive subject. Women suffer from this condition more often than men, as a result of childbirth, menopause and female urinary structure. However many men also suffer from these issues as a result of prostate dysfunctions, surgical procedures, or male urinary structure.
Unfortunately, many women devote so much time, energy and courage to simply getting through breast cancer surgery that they often neglect their recovery plan. A proper recovery plan requires attention to psychological, mental, and physical healing. If women are able to regain control of their physical recovery, it will indirectly affect the other components in the recovery plan.
Hands-on treatment such as soft-tissue work, massage, gentle mobilization and stabilization exercises. Instruction in specific body mechanics for routine activities such as housework, job performance and sleeping. Remember, while discomfort is fairly common during pregnancy, it should definitely not be accepted as just part of the process.
Does your child have these or other bowel/bladder issues? As a parent or child, all of these can be very frustrating and cause a great deal of anxiety and embarrassment. Know that you and your child are not alone and that Physical Therapy (PT) can help reduce or eliminate these issues! What types of childhood bowel/bladder issues does Physical Therapy address?

Professional, clean, exceptional staff, exceeding expectations for treatment options. Highly recommend to anyone. They don’t take many insurance plans, I was charged $100 for my first visit and consultation. I was notified multiple times before my appointment that I was self pay and what amount to expect. That’s a lot of money for me but I do feel like it was worth it. I got answers and a treatment plan. I cannot afford to go for therapy as often as they wanted due to money but they are very willing to work with me coming in every two weeks. I only regret not going sooner.

This office is absolutely amazing. I have thoracic outlet syndrome and came here pre op and now post op for treatment. Before coming here I tried four other offices with no luck. What sets this office apart from the rest is the level of knowledge and compassion the therapists have. I have worked with three therapists (Jenn, Jordan, and JoLea) and all three have been exceptional in their own way. I was always nervous to see someone new but here, all the therapists seem to be highly educated and passionate about their work. They communicate with one another, your Dr., and your insurance company if

I cannot say enough good things about this place and about the physical therapists that helped me - Taylor and Jordan. The quality of care and the results exceeded my expectations. Going here for help with my pelvic pain was one of the best investments I’ve made. I would highly recommend PT for Women.

I just had the best experience at this place. The staff were friendly, interactive, and were really concerned with my improvement. I felt like a new person after walking out of a dry needling experience. The owner is an absolute doll, she checks in with all of her patients, has established one on one relationships with them, and genuinely cares about them. I highly recommend visiting this facility. Plus, the fruit water is to die for!!

*** DO NOT GO HERE *** Prior to my first appointment, I called my insurance and was told I would have a $40 co-pay. My first appointment I tried to pay my co-pay (as also clearly indicated on my insurance card) and a woman up front told me I did not have to pay anything - a surprise to me. I explained to the lady and she said, "yes, I see that, but I do not have a note for you to pay it. Maybe you have met your out of pocket max." At the end of that first appointment, they wanted to schedule me for additional appointments. I asked the woman at discharge if I owed anything, and she said, "Nope,

Over the years, foot problems back problems and knee problems have given me an opportunity to visit a number of physical therapists both here and in Charleston. I have to say that Pt For Women particularly, MICHELLE and Amanda have demonstrated more expertise and care than I have ever seen before. thank you for being there Tony

I just left my initial appointment, and I'm so incredibly grateful for Karen who took the time to help me understand my needs so we could set some goals. Before coming, I was at a point where I'd simply accepted that I was going to be in pain and suffer from weakness for the years to come but she helped me see that there is hope on the horizon with some simple treatment and explaining everything I felt but didn't understand. The office was immaculate, staff were helpful and friendly and I couldn't be more grateful to have found this gem! Thank you Karen and Staff!!
