CityViewNC.com | 29 A holistic approach to your health & wellness F ayetteville Pelvic Health & Wellness is the first clinic of its kind in our community. When Dr. Lacy Kells earned a Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Duke University, she did not contemplate becoming a Pelvic Health Physical Therapist, a specialty that treats both men and women with abdominal and pelvic floor dysfunction. However, after her own struggles with pelvic pain, two pregnancies and a cesarean birth, she realized the huge need for this service in her hometown. Many patients are unaware that this type of physical therapy exists and are relieved to learn that they won't have to live with problems like urinary incontinence, pain, prolapse, abdominal separation and constipation. While these issues are "common" they are never "normal" and pelvic health physical therapy focuses on helping men and women manage these conditions. Fayetteville Pelvic Health & Wellness offers treatment for conditions including: • Abdominal and pelvic pain • Pregnancy-related pain or concerns • Preparation for childbirth and the fourth trimester • Postpartum assessment for safe return to exercise • Urinary incontinence • Frequency of urination • Post-surgical treatment for cesarean birth, hysterectomy, prostate removal and more • Bowel disorders such as IBS, constipation, leaking of stool • Diastasis recti (separation of the abdominal muscles in men and women) • Pelvic prolapse • Low back pain • General orthopedic conditions such as neck, shoulder, back, hip, knee or foot pain (910) 309-3726 Fayetteville Pelvic Health & Wellness 2504 Raeford Road, Suite 204 Fayetteville, NC 28305 www.fayettevillepelvichealth.com f l y Dr. Kells uses treatments such as manual therapy (including functional dry needling, cupping, soft tissue mobilization and more), education and specific exercise prescription to help her patients reach their goals.
