Reproductive Health

The hormones that allow a woman to conceive, carry, and deliver a child are in a constant state of change, depending on where she is in the lifespan. These hormones help the female body become ready for and sustain pregnancy, deliver a child, and nourish that child after birth. Regardless of whether one ever experiences pregnancy, many of these shifts, beginning in puberty and extending through the menopause transition, will influence many other health and lifestyle issues. PT can help you understand, navigate, and manage them as they occur.

​

Men can also be impacted by issues that limit their own fertility. Pelvic Health Physical Therapy can help you understand and address the challenges that may present in your family building journey. We understand reproductive goals and outcomes can take different shapes for different people, and we support your experience of all of them.

​

Challenges in family building can manifest for multiple reasons and in many ways. Pelvic Health Physical Therapy is one of many integrative approaches to addressing these challenges.  Your therapist can assess your comprehensive situation, guide you to support and optimize your hormonal health, as well as work therapeutically to ensure optimal functioning of your reproductive organs in order to facilitate conception and sustain pregnancy. At IOPT, we are uniquely positioned to support you throughout  all aspects of this journey. We would love to share our success stories, and build hope that you become one of them.       

​

We also recognize that loss can occur in many forms, and present with many of the same basic concerns of pregnancy and post-partum, but still be complicated by the unique impact of your experience. Our holistic, multi-faceted and comprehensive approach here at IOPT can be a key facet in your healing process on all levels, and we appreciate the courage you bring to that process.
