Sanders offering pelvic floor therapy at CMH

Maggie Sanders, PT, has joined Citizens Memorial Hospital as a physical therapist specializing in pelvic floor therapy.

Pelvic floor therapy is a specialized field of physical therapy that helps address pain and other symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction that can interfere with daily functioning. Therapy helps the pelvic floor muscles work the way they should.

Conditions Sanders can treat include urinary incontinence, pre/postpartum care, prolapse, pelvic pain, pain with/after intercourse (dyspareunia), painful periods (dysmenorrhea) and abdominal separation (diastasis recti).

Sanders earned a bachelor’s degree in exercise science and a doctorate of physical therapy, both from Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar. She also has Pelvic Health Physical Therapy Level 1 certification through the American Physical Therapy Association.
