Elite Pelvic Rehab

Sunday-Funday working on continued research on Vibration Plates and Pelvic Rehab :)

We started to implement vibration plates into our pelvic rehab programs, adding this to our programs in order to work on rapid muscle contractions, improving muscle strength, coordination, and activation. For pelvic floor rehabilitation, this can help strengthen the pelvic muscles, improve blood flow to the pelvic region, and reduce symptoms associated with pelvic floor dysfunction.

It can also be used as a tool to help nonrelaxing pelvic floors by using low-intensity vibrations to improve muscle tone, circulation, and neuromuscular control, helping to release tension.

As is true with all of the “tools” used in rehabilitation, it can be helpful as a part of the overall program (if appropriate indications are chosen, as well as accurate parameters).

More to come on this at Elite :)

POSTPARTUM WOMEN – DO NOT RETURN TO FITNESS UNTIL YOU PASS THESE TESTS

We advocate for women to return back to their prior level of activity...but not until their bodies are ready and at low risk for incontinence, pelvic pain, prolapse, etc.

There has been much confusion as to when that is - clear up the confusion here:

If you've met your health insurance deductible and/or out of pocket maximum before the New Year, now is the perfect time to schedule physical therapy because your insurance covers most or all costs, meaning minimal out-of-pocket expense for treatments you've been putting off.

Since most deductibles reset in January, waiting means paying full price again, so book sessions now to treat injuries, improve mobility, and use benefits like HSA/FSA funds before they expire, maximizing your investment in your health before year-end.

Schedule now by calling 570-970-0402 (Wilkes-Barre) or Moosic (570-774-4200)

In a major move this year, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration officially removed that warning from many estrogen and estrogen-progestin products.

The ACOG (American College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists) has long advocated for removal of the ‘black box warning’ on low-dose vaginal estrogen because the warning has posed a barrier for people who suffer from vaginal and urinary symptoms of menopause and could find needed relief with vaginal estrogen.

As with any medical decision, their use should be based on an individualized conversation between patients and their clinicians on risk verses benefit.

Three cheers for Bri!!

She completed a pelvic rehabilitation education course in NY this past weekend.

We gladly provide a continuing education budget for all our clinical staff to continue to develop.

Nationally, it is very rare for a first year PT to give up a weekend to take a course. We are so proud of her for pushing herself to get better!!

Formula for success to overcome urinary urgency/accidents, pain, constipation 🙂

Often patients are doing activities in one of the 3 (for instance, pelvic floor stretches).

Working on all 3 categories is showing to be most effective in reaching goals. 👏

Many patients hold off on coming for pelvic rehab due to not knowing what to expect, feeling embarrassed, hoping the symptoms will go away.

We promise that Pelvic Rehab at Elite is not at all scary...in fact, most patients say after their first session “that wasn’t bad, I wish I didn’t wait so long to come in”.

Get started today in Wilkes-Barre (570-970-0402) or Moosic (570-774-4200) :)

“When I was diagnosed with prostate cancer at 57 years old, the situation seemed overwhelming. However, I was fortunate to have caught it early and underwent a radical prostatectomy. In the time following the surgery someone recommended Elite to me as part of my recovery. I am so thankful for the recommendation because my time here for pelvic floor therapy altered the course of my recovery. The positive and welcoming environment with its knowledgeable and compassionate staff help me move through one of the most challenging times in my life. Additionally, upon completion of my pelvic floor therapy, I transitioned to the fitness component of the facility and I have found it to be an invaluable part of my continued recovery. I cannot say enough about the outstanding care provided by Elite on every level. My life post radical prostatectomy has changed for the better because of their exemplary care. “ - TRG
