According to ChoosePT,

“Women’s health physical therapists have specialized education and expertise in the evaluation and treatment of both acute and chronic conditions that specifically affect women.”

• Neck Pain

  Neck pain can cause debilitating and extremely uncomfortable sensations, especially if the pain stretches from your neck down to your shoulders.

  According to the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), approximately one-third of the population will experience neck pain in any given year. It can get worse if left untreated, and in severe cases, surgery may even be needed.

  Your neck is an integral area of everyday movement, and sharp pains can prevent you from functioning properly in your day-to-day life.

  Shoulder pain can take many forms – it can show up when you’re reaching toward the top shelf to put dishes away or when you’re struggling to find a comfortable position to sleep in without feeling a dull aching pain in your shoulder and neck. It can show up as a result of an injury, making you feel as if your shoulder is immobile.

  There are numerous reasons why someone may experience shoulder pain, and the severity can range from the temporary discomfort of a pulled muscle to the agonizing bone-on-bone friction of arthritis.

Physical Therapy in Northern Virginia for Women’s Health Issues

Over their lifetime, women experience changes and different conditions within the body that men never will.  A woman’s body has special characteristics that put it into a class of its own.  

Because a woman’s body has certain abilities that a man’s does not, it is obvious why women are susceptible to several health issues and painful conditions that men will never encounter.  Everything from monthly menses to childbirth to menopause, all are natural experiences that women encounter which have the potential to cause discomfort, pain or associated health problems.

Physical Therapy is a fantastic educational, emotional or physical solution that women can turn to when seeking comfort and relief from female-specific problems.  There are numerous treatments and therapies that can assist women when dealing with any female condition, whether it is before, during or after the onset of problematic symptoms.
