Women's Health Physical Therapy

An estimated 13 million people in the United States suffer from urinary incontinence. Don't accept incontinence as a natural part of aging, having had children or going through menopause. While these incidents may weaken the pelvic floor, they do not mean that incontinence is inevitable.

Because many symptoms of urinary incontinence are caused by lack of muscle control in the lower pelvic area, physical therapy can help to strengthen weak areas and restore control of the bladder. Physical therapy also can offer education in regard to diet, behavioral modifications, and home programs that will encourage ideal bladder health.

Sandi Walker, PT, DPT, BCB-PMD, is our board-certified physical therapist who pioneered the pelvic floor program at Baptist Health Deaconess Madisonville. She has undergone extensive training in pelvic floor therapy through the Herman and Wallace Pelvic Rehabilitation Institute and is board certified for Biofeedback (specialized therapy that uses sensors to gather information about your body) with Pelvic Muscle Dysfunctions.

Sandi specializes in the treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction in women, men and children in addition to orthopedic management of the pre/post-natal population. She strives to empower health, restore function and promote wellness for each patient under her care.
