Welcome to the Linden Oaks Physical Therapy Pelvic Health Program

Our pelvic health program provides the highest quality of individualized care for adults and children across the gender spectrum who have been diagnosed with pelvic floor dysfunction and related musculoskeletal conditions. The Linden Oaks Pelvic Physical Therapy team has extensive specialized training in pelvic health and is passionate about improving all patients’ quality of life. Our goal is to return you to your optimal level of function at home, work, and play using an individualized evidence-based treatment program.

Many people with pelvic floor dysfunction suffer in silence and are reluctant to talk with their healthcare providers. The prevalence and incidence of pelvic pain in women varies depending on how it is reported. The estimates vary from 4.3%-8.6% (similar to global prevalence of asthma to 23.2 +/- 2.9% (similar to the prevalence of low back pain.  Chronic pelvic pain in men has been reported to affect approximately 2-10% of men worldwide.   Urinary incontinence has been estimated to be nearly 50 percent of adult women. It has also been noted that only about 25 to 61 percent of these women seek treatment. As there is help available to treat these conditions, it is important to have these conversations with your healthcare provider. We look forward to meeting you and working together to achieve your goals.
