Lynn Gray-Meltzer, doctor of physical therapy with KnowledgeABLE Body Physical Therapy, in Arlington, Massachusetts, will lead a virtual workshop on preventing and fixing pelvic floor disorder from 5 to 6 p.m. on February 26, 2024. Attendees will learn what pelvic floor is, many self-help strategies and how pelvic health physical therapy can aide in healing for a better quality of life.

“At least one in three women has a pelvic floor disorder, but many people lack basic knowledge and feel embarrassed to talk about their problems, preventing them from getting the help they need to live a full, happy life,” says Gray-Meltzer, PT, DPT, OCS, WCS and CLT who has extensive training in physical therapy specialties of orthopedics, pelvic floor, obstetrics and oncology rehabilitation. “Sadly, many people don’t get basic education on what the pelvic floor is, don’t know basic self-help strategies to prevent or fix problems when they start, and pelvic floor disorders like urinary incontinence, constipation, painful intercourse, back pain and increased urinary urgency and frequency just get worse over time.”

She assesses and treats the whole body in addition to the pelvic floor, saving patients time and money, and preventing many physical problems from becoming chronic.
