Pelvic Floor physical therapy is a specialized form of treatment aimed to address dysfunctions of the pelvic floor. The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that run from the pubic bone to the tailbone, which help to support the internal organs and assist in sexual, bladder, and bowel functions. Reasons for treatment include urinary incontinence, painful bladder syndrome, painful sex, postpartum care, diastisis recti, pelvic organ prolapse, coccyx/tailbone pain, vaginal or anal pain, pelvic floor muscle spasms, low back pain, or hip/groin pain.
Dr. Diana Mattina, Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist
Our resident women’s health and pelvic floor physical therapist is a dedicated professional. With a background in dance, she experienced injuries landing her in physical therapy as a patient. Eventually, those sessions piqued her interest in this field, and she decided to pursue a career. Diana graduated from Rutgers University after completing her Bachelor of Science in 2011. She earned her Doctorate in Physical Therapy in 2014 from the same institution.
