Pelvic and Abdominal Pain
Abdominal pain occurs between the chest and groin, also called the belly. In contrast, pelvic pain occurs in the lowest portion of the abdomen (below the belly button) and the pelvis. Pain in these areas can be sharp or dull, constant or intermittent, and mild, moderate, or severe. Pain that occurs suddenly and goes away quickly is acute, and pain that lasts six months or longer is chronic.
While our physical therapists will treat your abdominal and pelvic pain, they will also identify the cause of your discomfort and provide you with solutions to prevent the condition in the future.

Biofeedback
Biofeedback isn’t painful and helps over 75% of people with pelvic floor dysfunction. Debbie Callif, OT will attach special sensors to monitor your pelvic floor muscles as you try to relax or clench them. This allows Debbie to determine which muscles in your lower back, pelvis, and pelvic floor are really tight and teach you exercises to stretch these muscles so their coordination can be improved.
Pelvic Floor Therapy
Pelvic Floor Strengthening Therapy is a form of specialized physical therapy focused on the muscles and tissues of the pelvic region. While pelvic floor pain, weakness, or dysfunction (PFD) is common among both men and women, our therapist, Debbie Callif, OT is highly trained and has treated thousands of patients with PFD.

Life & health coaching
So often, pelvic floor weakness or dysfunction isn’t just a “mechanical” failure of our body’s abilities. It can often be exacerbated by mental stress and other environmental triggers. Debbie works with each patient to identify these factors and leverage additional therapies like Breathwork, Mindfulness, Relaxation, Imagery, and EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) throughout your treatment.
