Pelvic Health

 

A Leader in Pelvic Health since 2006 in the Baton Rouge Community! Pelvic health treatment is available at both locations!

Two years after opening an outpatient Orthopedic-focused Physical Therapy and Hand Therapy clinic, Brown Rogers Physical Therapy became the first private clinic to offer outpatient Pelvic Health Therapy, expanding the reach of this service into the community from more hospital-based programs.  Because we provide respectful, compassionate, and personalized care to each patient, treating patients with bladder and bowel dysfunction is harmonious with our comprehensive approach and core values.  Evaluation and treatments are covered by Medicare and major insurers.

How our program differs from other Baton Rouge pelvic floor programs:

Brown Rogers Physical Therapy offers treatment that is truly innovative and individualized.  We understand that the same approach will not work with every client, as the treatment of bowel or bladder dysfunction can be very complex.  Our therapists take the time to understand your individual situation, and understand that each client will be different.  We want to walk with each patient on his or her own path to healing, recognizing the uniqueness of the journey.
