Where scheduling is simple, communication with your PT is direct and timely, and you are confident you will be guided throughout the whole rehab process. My boutique private PT practice is intentionally built to offer patients direct access to pelvic floor therapy with one guiding philosophy in mind: exceptional, personalized care that delivers measurable results.

Approximately 60-80% of people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) experience problems with bladder, bowel and/or sexual function. Since PD affects muscles, changes in pelvic floor could be responsible for urinary and f***l leakage with laugh, cough, sneeze; increased urinary urgency and frequency; constipation and other symptoms. Unfortunately, medications used to treat bladder conditions can have adverse side effects for people with PD. Pelvic floor physical therapy is an effective evidence based conservative treatment option. Ask your physician for a pelvic floor PT referral or contact me directly: (631) 664-3270 - Anna, PT.
