Women’s Health and Fitness

Pelvic disorders are among the most misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and undertreated areas in women’s health. Patients often report long periods of suffering from multiple symptoms, like pain in the calves, feet, back, hips, or knees. They may be dealing with bursitis or tendinitis.

Whether due to injury, overuse, or the hormonal changes that their bodies experience over a lifetime, women can be especially susceptible to pelvic instability and dysfunction. These types of problems can cause undue anxiety, frustration, pain, and mobility challenges for women when not treated correctly.

Fortunately, this is an area of passion for KCP. With over 20 years experience, KCP has the expertise to address the unique challenges of a woman’s body with compassion and professionalism.

A licensed Physical Therapist will work with each woman to develop a personalized program. Sessions are covered by most insurance plans. Call KCP at 704-541-1191 or click below to make an appointment for consultation.
