Why Pre- and Post-Surgical Therapy in Palm Desert Matters
Starting rehab BEFORE surgery sets the foundation for better recovery. Here’s how:
1. Mental & Physical Preparation
Understanding what to expect before surgery reduces anxiety and improves outcomes.
2. Less Post-Surgical Pain & Inflammation
Manual therapy and movement techniques significantly reduce swelling and discomfort.
3. Restored Mobility & Flexibility
Scar tissue and muscle guarding can limit movement—we help you regain full, healthy range.
4. Regain Pelvic Floor Strength & Control
Surgery can weaken pelvic muscles, leading to incontinence, prolapse recurrence, and pain. We retrain these muscles for proper function.
5. Smoother, Faster Healing
Poor movement patterns slow healing and increase pain—we correct them so you recover pain-free.
6. Build Long-Term Strength & Stability
Rehab isn’t just about recovery—it builds lasting core strength, flexibility, and endurance to prevent future issues.
7. Confidence & Clarity in Your Recovery
You’ll never feel lost. We guide you through every step—from exercise progressions to restrictions and lifestyle adaptations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does therapy actually help, or will it cause more pain?
It’s natural to be concerned about pain, but research proves that physical therapy before surgery reduces post-op pain by over 40%. Our certified pelvic rehab specialists use gentle, effective techniques that ease discomfort, not aggravate it.
What happens during a pelvic floor therapy session?
Each pelvic floor therapy session is fully customized to your recovery stage and specific needs. Treatment may include hands-on soft tissue and joint mobilization to relieve tension and improve alignment, as well as neuromuscular retraining to enhance pelvic stability and muscle coordination. We also incorporate targeted strengthening and mobility exercises to restore function, along with pain relief techniques to alleviate discomfort.
What if I experience discomfort during therapy?
Your therapist will adjust any technique to ensure comfort and safety. We encourage open communication so we can modify treatments as needed—our goal is to help you heal, not push through pain.

I was so impressed by my physical therapy experience with Sarah! I didn’t know what to expect from pelvic floor physical therapy, but from my first appointment with Sarah, they made me feel so at ease. Sarah took their time really listening and assessing my specific needs and our appointments never made me feel rushed. Sarah clearly brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to their practice and it shows. I would absolutely work with Sarah again! Five stars!
