Effect of Childbirth on the Pelvic Floor And Physical Therapy

Treatment of pelvic floor impairment has become more visible and accepted in the physical therapy community over the past 10 to 15 years. In 2010, the specialty area of Women’s Health was recognized on a national level at the Combined Sections Meeting of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), at which 60 newly certified Women’s Health Clinical Specialists (WCS) were acknowledged for their achievements.  Advanced and in-depth study of anatomy, including internal muscle assessment, physiology, evaluation, and treatment, is highly recommended for therapists who specialize in this area.
