Types of Treatment
Women’s Health
Treatment by a Women’s Health physical therapist at ProActive PTS can reduce pain, prevent surgery, and eliminate the need for medications.
Women’s health physical therapy is a specialized area that combines a dedication to helping women whose daily life is affected by pelvic dysfunction with a high level of expertise in treating musculoskeletal issues. This is accomplished through compassionate providers who are trained in how to apply physical therapy treatment techniques, such as manual therapy and general exercise, to the pelvic floor and surrounding structures. Treatment by a Women’s Health Physical Therapist at ProActive Physical Therapy Specialists can reduce pain, prevent surgery, and eliminate the need for medications.
Our physical therapists are experts in treating the musculoskeletal system and can treat the the following issues:
- Pelvic Pain
- Difficulty with normal activities such as, sitting, rising from a chair, standing or walking
- Difficulty with recreational activities
- Pain in the groin, buttock, low back, hip, sacroiliac or abdominals
- Pregnancy Discomfort
- Outpatient care for pregnant and post-partum women designed to reduce uncomfortable symptoms related to pregnancy.
- Incontinence
We provide a very soothing and private environment for all patients. Initially, your therapist will examine abdominal muscles, neck, back, hip, SI joint and pubic symphasis to look for issues. Each patient will have a unique treatment plan. Some common interventions include:
- Gentle exercise
- Stretching and strengthening
- Education on proper posture
- Fitting of back supports or hand splints
- Manipulation
- Specific exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor
- Soft tissue therapy
What to expect at your first appointment
A specialized physical therapist will sit down with you, one-on-one, and discuss what’s going on, your medical history, and overall lifestyle. We are trained to treat all ranges of pelvic floor dysfunction and know how personal and intimate this is. We will evaluate your posture, hips, back, and pelvic floor to determine the best plan for YOU to get you where you want to be.
A typical initial evaluation also includes:
Review of bowel and bladder diary
Internal examination of muscle tone and scarring
Assessment of pelvic floor strength, coordination, and endurance
Patients will leave with a personalized treatment plan and the confidence that their physical therapist will work alongside them to help reach their goals and improve their pelvic health.

Here’s what some of our patients had to say
Thank you so much! I love you guys and the care I received!

I recently had knee replacement surgery. I decided to do my physical therapy at ProActive PTS in Verona because it would be convenient. I am so glad I made that decision. Nash made me feel comfortable right away. He is very knowledgeable and has a calm, encouraging manner. I was thrilled with the success with…

Julie and Jessica were invaluable in my breast cancer recovery. After a long recovery from a mastectomy, chemo, radiation, and reconstructive surgery with implants, I still suffered from pain in my ribs below my breast and pain in my breast area from radiation. The Breast Center at UW Hospital was incredible during the implant surgery…

From the first time I met Julie and Jessica, it was clear that concern for my total care was their priority. This included both the physical and mental challenges of breast cancer recovery. Upon learning of their focus on all aspects of this targeted program, I knew I was in the right place and on…

After a double mastectomy and breast reconstruction which required muscle to be removed from my back and brought to my chest, I didn’t want anyone touching me. My chest felt weird, I was in a lot of pain, and I was tired of doctor appointments. But I also felt very weak and knew I needed…

We rate Proactive PTS a 10; we are extremely happy! After having received excellent PT in the past, we had no doubt this was the only place we would trust with our son’s recovery. The warm, welcoming environment makes it a comfortable place to receive therapy. This puts him at ease allowing for the most…

After just 4 visits…I feel like a brand new person. Before, I could barely walk for 15 minutes without my back screaming in pain. Now I’m zooming through therapy and going on walks at home.

Wonderful staff, very helpful, competent and professional. They listen to what I say and are working with me to meet my goal.

Amazing service. They have gone out of their way to call and follow up with me while doing my at-home exercises. Highly recommend.

My husband was skeptical of my choice to use physical therapy to treat my back pain instead of medications. After seeing my results from working with the ProActive PTS team, my husband is a believer now too.
