Finding a women's health Physical Therapist is also very important.  Not every Physical Therapist is trained to treat women's health conditions.  Be sure you find the right one!  Here are some questions you might ask to find out if a Physical Therapist can provide the treatment you are looking for:
  • Do you have advanced training in evaluating and treating my condition?
  • How long have you been a Physical Therapist?
  • How long have you been treating this condition?
  • Are there things I can do at home to help with the treatment of my condition?
  • Do you have any resources or materials that will help me understand my condition and my treatment? 
  • Do you have any testimonials or references from patients or physicians attesting to your experience and outcomes with treating this condition?
