Pelvic Health Services at Encore Rehabilitation at DeKalb Regional Medical Center with Jaylah Martin, OTR/L

🌸 Pelvic Health Therapy at Encore Rehabilitation🌸

Did you know that bladder leakage, pelvic pain, pressure, or discomfort may be related to your pelvic floor — and that therapy may be able to help?

We’re excited to spotlight Jaylah Martin, Occupational Therapist, and the growing pelvic health services available at Encore Rehabilitation at DeKalb Regional Medical Center!

Jaylah has expanded her Occupational Therapy expertise into Women’s Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation, helping women address concerns that can affect everyday comfort, confidence, and quality of life.

Pelvic Health Therapy may be beneficial for women experiencing concerns such as:

• Urinary leakage or difficulty controlling the bladder
• Frequent or urgent trips to the bathroom
• Pelvic pain or pressure
• Pain or discomfort with intercourse
• Pelvic floor weakness
• Symptoms associated with pelvic organ prolapse
• Constipation or difficulty with bowel movements
• Pregnancy-related pelvic discomfort
• Postpartum recovery and weakness
• Core weakness or difficulty returning to normal activities after pregnancy or surgery

These symptoms can be common, but many people don’t realize they may be related to the pelvic floor or that rehabilitation could be an option.

In February, Jaylah completed Herman & Wallace Pelvic Function Level 1 training and continues to build her clinical experience in pelvic floor rehabilitation. She is currently tracking her pelvic floor patient-care hours as she works toward meeting the requirements to pursue board certification in this specialty.

Jaylah has been with Encore for nearly three years and has diverse experience treating orthopedic injuries and surgeries, stroke-related conditions, pediatric patients, and more. Her newest area of focus is helping expand access to Pelvic Health Rehabilitation right here in our community!

If you’ve been dealing with symptoms you thought you simply had to live with, contact us! We’d be happy to discuss how Pelvic Health Rehabilitation may help!
