Pelvic floor dysfunction will affect up to 20 percent of people at some point in their lives. An even larger percentage (50 percent) of women over the age of 55 suffer from this type of dysfunction. Depending upon the severity of the problem, it can significantly reduce the individual’s quality of life.

Physical therapy can help patients overcome some of the problems associated with pelvic floor dysfunction and return them to normal function. At In Touch NYC Physical Therapy, our skilled PTs craft personalized treatment plans that address your specific needs.
