Pelvic Floor Rehab

The pelvic rehabilitation specialty program consists of four physical therapists, all of which have advanced training in the areas of pelvic/spine, bowel/bladder and orthopedic rehabilitation for the male and female populations, as well as treatment of pregnancy/postpartum and musculoskeletal issues.  With more than 35 years of combined experience in treating this unique population, our therapists are sought out by patients locally, as well as outside the Kansas City area.
