NEW: Pelvic Floor Therapy

At CHDC, our Physical Therapist, Dr. Leeat Adlersberg, is certified as a Pregnancy & Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist (PCES), meaning she can help individuals strengthen their pelvic floor. While the certification is designed to address the unique needs of pregnant and postpartum individuals, the underlying principles extend well beyond this population, including athletes and active adults, patients recovering from abdominal or orthopedic surgeries, and individuals experiencing balance deficits, weakness, chronic pain associated with poor trunk stabilization, and more.

The PCES framework allows our team to address the connection between breathing, core function, pelvic floor coordination, posture, and movement quality.

Conditions We Treat

Pelvic Floor Therapy can help treat a variety of conditions, including:

Abdominal separation (diastasis recti)
Pelvic floor dysfunction, including stress, urge, and mixed urinary incontinence
Pregnancy and postpartum low back pain
Pelvic girdle pain and sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction
Core weakness and instability
Postural dysfunction and breathing impairments
Difficulty returning to exercise and daily activities after childbirth

Patient Populations We Treat

Pregnant and Postpartum Individuals
Individuals with chronic low back pain, lumbar instability, and postural dysfunction
Athletes and active adults seeking improved core control, movement efficiency, and injury prevention
Patients recovering from abdominal or orthopedic surgeries
Older adults experiencing balance deficits, core weakness, postural impairments, or urinary incontinence
Individuals with chronic pain conditions who demonstrate altered breathing patterns and poor trunk stabilization

Many individuals experience changes in core strength, pelvic floor function, posture, and movement mechanics after childbirth, even in the absence of symptoms. Early intervention can help optimize recovery, reduce the risk of future dysfunction, and support a safe return to exercise, work, childcare responsibilities, and other daily activities.

Pelvic Floor Testimonial

"From the beginning, Dr. Adlersberg created a comfortable atmosphere that allowed me to be at ease and honest about where I was in life and what work needed to be accomplished to get back to the gym and resume my preferred manner of working out. After a month and a half, I am happy to say that I have seen a significant amount of success in rehabilitating my abdominal section. Every measurable aspect of my diastasis recti, including span and depth, decreased by well over 50%, with some measurements improving by more than 75%. I have also experienced increased mobility, as many of the exercises helped open up my hips and allowed my airways to stay more open during squatting."
