Pelvic Health Program

When it comes to conditions that affect the bladder, bowel or sexual function, many women suffer in silence or find their issues are not appropriately addressed with the prescribed medication or treatment.

These women find hope and healing through Hoag’s Pelvic Health Program, which is led by Physician Advisor Leah Nakamura, M.D., who is double board-certified in urology and female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery. The program brings together a multidisciplinary team of specialized pelvic physical therapists, urogynecologists and urologists who are board-certified in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery, colorectal surgeons and wellness providers who coordinate individualized care plans designed to address every component of the issue.

Pelvic floor physical therapy is often the first line treatment for many pelvic conditions. Hoag’s team of 13 pelvic physical therapists are trained beyond general physical therapy in pelvic health or women’s health. At the beautiful and soothing Hoag for Her Center for Wellness, they provide each patient a highly specialized, evidence-based and tailored treatment approach to help them reach their goals.
