"From the very first session with Rachel, I felt heard, supported, and in the most capable hands."
Did you know that in Europe and Canada, pelvic floor physical therapy is considered so important to women’s health that it’s deemed a routine part of annual gynecological care?
Pelvic floor issues that happen after pregnancy, childbirth, surgery, or as the result of high-intensity sports. Our goal is to help restore your pelvic floor strength for optimal urinary, bowel, and sexual function.
Rachelle Bojer of Lotus Physical Therapy believes all women can benefit from a consultation with a pelvic floor physical therapist. You don’t have to be pregnant, have had children, or be an athlete to experience noticeable benefits from pelvic floor therapy.
Our women’s health services include:
Puberty & Period Education
Growing up comes with a lot of changes — and not enough honest conversation about what is actually normal.
Our team offers one-on-one consultations for young girls and teens navigating puberty, period pain, and early pelvic floor awareness. Sessions are private, educational, and pressure-free.
Common reasons families book:
- Painful or irregular periods
- Education about period products
- Pelvic discomfort during menstruation
- Bladder leakage during sports or activity
- Pelvic floor education before starting high-intensity training
- Sex education and best body safety practices
No diagnosis or referral needed.
Teens and Athletes
With more teens and women participating in sports and fitness programs like CrossFit, Barre fitness, and HIIT classes, pelvic floor dysfunction is becoming more prevalent in this population, even before having children. Our team can evaluate your core, pelvic floor and assess your form during your activity to ensure that you do not develop pelvic floor dysfunction later on.
Pregnancy-Related Issues
At Lotus Physical Therapy, we offer a whole host of prenatal and postpartum services for women.
Prenatal and postpartum consultations include education on identifying signs of a pelvic floor disorder — and how to prevent it, when possible.
Breastfeeding can be a challenging experience for new mothers. Our therapists provide hands-on treatment for clogged milk ducts, mastitis, and breast engorgement using ultrasound therapy and manual techniques to provide fast, effective relief.
Diastasis recti is a separation of the abdominal muscles that commonly occurs during pregnancy. It can cause a visible bulge or "pooch" in the belly, along with back pain, pelvic pain, and core weakness. Physical therapy is one of the most effective treatments — and in many cases, surgery can be avoided entirely.
Pregnancy loss is a profoundly difficult experience, and the physical recovery is often overlooked. Our therapists provide compassionate, private care to help women heal physically after miscarriage or stillbirth — addressing pelvic floor tension, scar tissue, hormonal changes, and pain with sensitivity and respect.
Pelvic Pain associated with Endometriosis
Endometriosis can cause pain that goes beyond what medication or surgery alone can resolve — often because the pelvic floor muscles tighten and guard in response to years of pain.
Our team offers one-on-one pelvic floor physical therapy to help reduce pain, ease muscle tension, and improve quality of life for those living with endometriosis.
Common reasons patients book a consultation:
- Chronic pelvic pain or cramping
- Pain during intimacy
- Pain with bowel movements or urination
- Muscle tightness or guarding from ongoing pain
- Support before or after endometriosis surgery
Menopause
Menopause can be a challenging and deeply personal transition, and our dedicated team of physical therapists is here to support you every step of the way. We understand the physical and emotional changes this stage of life can bring, and we offer specialized therapeutic care tailored to your unique needs.
Our physical therapy services focus on improving pelvic health, understanding hormonal changes addressing issues like urinary incontinence, and enhancing sexual well-being, helping you regain confidence and comfort in your body throughout the stages of menopause. With our compassionate, one-on-one approach, we aim to ease your symptoms and empower you to enjoy a healthier, more fulfilling transition into older adulthood.
Breast Cancer Rehabilitation
If you’re recovering from breast cancer surgery, you know how much of a toll treatment can take on the body. At Lotus Physical Therapy, we understand this – and can help you heal. Physical therapy is a prime component of any breast cancer rehab program to ensure proper healing and recovery.
The benefits of post-surgical breast cancer rehabilitation include:
- Re-educating muscles to restore pain-free range of movement
- Reducing the risk of common side effects like lymphedema (lymphatic obstruction and swelling) and cording (scarring that can develop under the arm after removal of lymph nodes)
- Restoring sensation
- Alleviating joint stiffness
If you’re in need of a physical therapist with a passion for women’s health and wellness, contact us for a consultation. Contact us for a consultation with Dr. Anna Powers at Lotus Physical Therapy, who has extensive experience treating breast cancer patients after surgery.
