Preparing for Surgery

Pelvic Floor Therapy for Pre-Operative Care

Undergoing surgery, especially a procedure involving the pelvic area, can be a significant event. At Empower Women’s Health & Wellness, we believe that preparation is key to optimizing your surgical outcome and recovery. Pelvic floor therapy plays a vital role in this process by assessing and addressing any existing muscle imbalances or dysfunction before you enter the operating room. Our therapists will conduct a thorough evaluation to identify any specific concerns, such as muscle weakness, tightness, or coordination issues.

Based on your individual needs, we’ll create a personalized pre-operative plan. This may include exercises to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, improve core stability, and optimize bladder and bowel function. We’ll also educate you on what to expect during and after your surgery, providing strategies to manage pain and discomfort effectively. Our goal is to empower you to actively participate in your recovery and achieve the best possible outcome.

Common Pelvic Surgeries

Supporting You Through a Range of Procedures

Many surgical procedures can benefit from pelvic floor therapy. We frequently assist women with surgeries involving the reproductive organs, such as hysterectomies (removal of the uterus), myomectomies (removal of uterine fibroids), and oophorectomies (removal of the ovaries). We also provide specialized care for women undergoing prolapse repairs to correct pelvic organ prolapse.

In addition, we offer support for women undergoing incontinence procedures to address bladder or bowel control issues. These procedures may include sling procedures, bladder suspensions, or sphincter repairs. Furthermore, we help women recover from abdominal surgeries like tummy tucks or hernia repairs, which can often affect the pelvic floor muscles due to their proximity and connection to the core.

Post-Operative Care

Recover with Confidence

Following surgery, pelvic floor therapy is essential for facilitating healing, restoring function, and minimizing complications. Our therapists will guide you through a customized post-operative program designed to address your specific needs and goals. This program may begin with gentle manual techniques and modalities to reduce pain, promote tissue healing, and minimize scar tissue formation.

As you progress, we’ll incorporate targeted exercises to help you regain strength, coordination, and control of your pelvic floor muscles. We’ll also provide strategies and exercises to address any bladder or bowel dysfunction that may arise after surgery. Our ultimate goal is to empower you to return to your desired activities and enjoy a full and active life.

Kerry

Jamie is the best! She helped me get through some horrible flares. She is knowledgeable and willing to answer all my questions. She helped equip me to continue my journey of strengthening and healing on my own, not leaving me dependent on her forever. I’m so grateful to have women like Jamie whose whole career is to come along side women, educating and equipping them to become a stronger version of themselves again. I always looked forward to my appointments because I knew she was going to help me find relief. If you’re in need of a pelvic floor physical therapist Jamie is your girl!

Nida

I was referred to Jamie by another medical professional. I had multiple issues postpartum after a very long labor (diastasis rectus, pelvic floor issues, tailbone misalignment, etc). Jamie took the time to work with my issues plus strengthening so I can return to my everyday life. She was very considerate and explained step-by-step the cause and effect of each issue and exercise. The manipulations (fascia release) helped immensely and not something I’ve had before at a physical therapy appointment. You will not find this level of care for patients anywhere else for therapy. Jamie is professional and her expertise in women’s health is beneficial. I highly recommend visiting with Jamie at every stage of a woman’s health.

Michelle

Jamie has been an integral part of my care team and journey toward overcoming hypertonic pelvic floor and pudendal neuralgia issues. I have been seeing different pelvic PTs for years and now that I've finally found Jamie, I'm actually seeing progress and feeling better. She has extensive knowledge of pelvic floor issues, explains things thoroughly, really listens to her patient's needs, and thinks of various ways to treat the issues at hand. Finding Empower Women's Health has allowed for huge step forward in my long healing process. Highly recommend.
