Lillian Detwiler, MSPT, Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation Specialist with Reading-Berks Physical Therapy, states, “Pelvic floor function affects almost everything that we do, including walking and running; lifting and carrying; remaining continent; sexual activities; and more.”  She continued, “National Physical Therapy Month reminds us that there are many things that each of us can do to preserve or restore our health.  We thought that this was a perfect time to show our commitment to the community by opening our new Pelvic Health Suite, devoted to helping people recover from pelvic health issues.”

Physical therapists are health care professionals who diagnose and treat individuals of all ages, from newborns to the elderly, who have medical problems or other health-related conditions that limit their abilities to move and perform functional activities in their daily lives. Physical therapists examine each individual and develop a plan of care using treatment techniques to promote the ability to move, reduce pain, restore function, and prevent disability. Physical therapists also work with individuals to prevent the loss of mobility by developing fitness- and wellness-oriented programs for healthier and more active lifestyles.
