At Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine, our pelvic pain specialists provide a functional, rehab approach to pelvic pain. When you visit one of our offices, you spend an hour with your doctor reviewing in detail your medical history and symptoms. Then, we perform an internal exam (no speculum) to evaluate your nerves and muscles. Together, we'll discuss an individual treatment plan that gets to the root cause of your pain and helps you to feel better. The best part: you can begin treatment the same day!

Hi, everyone. Dr. Ally here. So what do we mean by post -hab? It means post operative rehabilitation, and it can be after an endometriosis surgery or really any surgery from the belly button to the mid thigh where it's a trauma or an insult to the pelvis. And what we do is we help your pelvic floor muscles and your pelvic nerves rehabilitate from undergoing the trauma of the surgery. It really helped get them back to their baseline, less spastic, stronger, right, to support the pelvic structures, and the nerves less irritated, and functioning better.
