Common Conditions
One in five women can experience pain with sex at some point in their lifetime, and nine out of ten women have pain the first time they have sex after a baby. For many postpartum women, this pain persists for over a year. There can be several causes of painful sex, including but not limited to vaginal dryness, infection, hormonal imbalance, nerve entrapment, scar tissue, muscle spasm, and prolapse. Although pain with sex can occur, it is NOT normal, and you should not have to “just deal with it.” We are here to help. A pelvic physical therapist can help by guiding you through various exercises involving breathing, stretching, strengthening, massage, and education. Let us help you return to pain-free, healthy sex life!”
Urinary incontinence is leaking of urine that you can’t control. Incontinence is not just a medical problem; it can affect emotional, psychological and social life. Both men and women suffer from urinary incontinence, but it is hard to gather statistics because many people do not tell anyone about their symptoms. Many people think urinary incontinence is just part of getting older, but it’s not. Incontinence can be managed and/or treated. Reach out to us to find out what treatment may be best for you.
Did you know that constipation is the most common gastrointestinal complaint in America, resulting in about 2 million visits to the doctor a year? Constipation can present in many ways, causing some to experience infrequent bowel movements and others to have a sense of difficulty emptying their bowels. Many people with constipation even have complaints of diarrhea, but this is due to the liquid stool being the only part that can navigate past any blockage in the rectum. Pelvic floor physical therapy uses a combination of treatments to manage muscular tension, breathing and relaxation exercises to assist in muscular tone, proper posture, and/or cuing to teach you how to relax these muscles and improve your bowel movements. If you need any help at all, don’t hesitate to give us a call!
Prostate problems are extremely common and if you are experiencing any trouble, you are certainly not alone!

Chances are that you or someone you know will face prostate problems at some point in life. If you are worried about your condition, we are here to help!

Dr. Anna Crisp, PT, DPT
I’m Anna Crisp, and I am excited to help men and women with various pelvic health conditions regain independence and improve their overall quality of life. I became interested in pelvic health physical therapy after discovering I was pregnant with my daughter! After much research and education on women’s health, I learned how impacted the pelvic floor is- both during childbirth and with activity and disease in general. I sought treatment from a pelvic floor physical therapist after the birth of my daughter to help with lingering pain, so I understand the importance of postnatal care. I completed multiple courses through the world-renowned Herman and Wallace Pelvic Rehabilitation Institute to obtain my Pelvic Rehabilitation Practitioner Certification (PRPC) in the next few years. I am excited to bring pelvic rehabilitation to the Denton county area.
