Because men and women (on average) have some significant differences in their musculature and skeletons, the same physical therapy regimens don’t always work for both sexes. That’s why some physical therapists specialize in treating women; these medical professionals understand the particularities of the female body and can thus treat them effectively and safely.
In addition, therapists who specialize in women’s health are aware of the various problems that women can run into throughout every stage of their life. For example, young female athletes tend to have performance-limiting knee and foot pain that men often don’t face. Similarly, pregnancy can cause a number of physical problems that are unique to women.
In sum, women’s health therapists are experts in both women’s conditions and how general conditions specifically affect women. Thus, they’re specially equipped to help women live a fulfilling and pain-free life at every stage and age.
