Women’s health issues span the lifetime from a teenage athlete to the childbearing years and beyond.  Physical therapists can play an important role in health and wellness during those times.

From working with a teenage athlete in strengthening and conditioning to recover from or prevent injury, to working with an individual to navigate issues that may arise with pregnancy and postpartum period, and then addressing health concerns with aging a physical therapist can play an important role in your health and wellbeing.

Physical therapy can be an essential key in maintaining an active lifestyle by addressing the components of health and fitness throughout the woman’s lifespan. Canyon therapy’s women’s health program has a physical therapist with a certificate of achievement in Pelvic Health and Obstetrics (CAPP-Pelvic, CAPP-OB), which is a comprehensive education program with evidence based training that involves written and clinical testing with each level. This is followed by a case report submitted to the CAPP Case Reflection Committee for final approval and awarding of the certification.
