Why Woodstock Pelvic Health?

Whole Body Approach

This is key because if we only evaluate the pelvic floor in isolation and not the rest of the body, we might miss the underlying contributing factors to your symptoms. Often, the pelvic floor is the “victim” of other dysfunctions in the body. With our strong background in orthopedics, we will be doing a complete musculoskeletal evaluation as well as a specific pelvic floor evaluation to find the WHY behind your problem.

Full-Length Sessions

Full one-hour hands-on sessions. Why is this important? Because pelvic health conditions are complicated! We believe it requires a full hour to address all the contributing factors to your problem. We do not utilize aides to watch you exercise or hook you up to machines and leave the room.

Manual Therapy

Techniques to improve mobility, strength and function in muscles and joints. These techniques include treatment of muscles outside the pelvis as well as treatment of muscles inside the pelvis utilizing intravaginal and/or intrarectal techniques.

Services

Therapeutic Exercise

A specific, individualized exercise program to address deficits in strength, mobility, and core muscle control. Exercises are also prescribed to aid in reducing tension and change chronic holding patterns.

Trigger Point Dry Needling

This is a technique utilizing a sterile solid filament needle inserted directly into a myofascial trigger point (commonly referred to as a “knot” in the muscle). The reduction in pain is the result of both mechanical and biochemical changes occurring. Judy is specifically trained in pelvic floor dry needling.

Post-Partum Return to Run Program

We have a passion for helping women return to running in a safe, controlled manner. Often, returning to running too soon following delivery, without professional guidance, can result in unwanted symptoms.

Soft Wave TRT

SoftWave TRT (Tissue Regeneration Therapy) is a patented non-invasive treatment that utilizes high-energy sound waves to target injured or degenerated areas of the body. This therapy aims to promote natural healing at the cellular level by increasing blood flow and activating the body's own healing processes. Softwave can also be used to treat interstitial cystitis (bladder pain syndrome), pelvic pain, urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction.

Testimonials

  • "Hands down the best experience I have had with a Doctor before. Dr Judy immediately made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked through her doors. She has supported me throughout this entire process. Every time I went in she remembered everything we talked about the previous week. Physically and personally. She genuinely cares about her patients well being and that’s why I will always recommend her. Not to mention, I went from having awful pain in my pelvic area 24/7 to actually being able to rest in bed on my back without the feeling of a bowling ball on my abdomen."

    -AS

  • “As a patient of Dr. Judy Rossi, my experience has been one of complete trust.  Each visit begins with a conversation regarding my symptoms and Dr. Rossi’s related questions. I never feel rushed nor uncomfortable because of her interest and patient bedside manner.  Dr. Rossi has continued to educate herself, above and beyond her degree, by enrolling in related courses and workshops. She is both passionate and dedicated to her profession.”

  • “My client/Physical Therapist relationship with Judy Rossi began about 10 years ago. During this time Judy has worked on almost every part of my body, even pelvic floor therapy. When I first came to her, she was running (owned) a very successful Physical Therapy Facility. Judy assessed every issue I had over the years and walked me through the physical therapy process that would work best for me. Judy was an excellent listener, always on top of what I needed to work on and always pushed just enough to make me work harder to get the most of my physical therapy sessions. She has a wealth of knowledge and seemed to be the “go to” person if another therapist had a question. Judy was always Professional, but also made me feel at ease to share what was going on in my life too. When you are fortunate to find a “Health Care Provider” you like and feel like listens to you and wants only the best for you, you stick with them! I also consider Judy a friend and would highly recommend her to anyone I know who could benefit from her knowledge and expertise!”

  • "Judy Rossi as a physical therapist, there is no one better. I first met Judy after we moved to Cherokee county from Cobb when I was having issues with my neck and was referred to a physical therapist by my primary care. I have gone to her several times over the past 10 years as we all are aging, and different issues come up. My latest interaction with her was for my Pelvic Floor issue which was her latest skill after additional education. All problems have been resolved and I always left with exercises to continue to strengthen the muscles on which we were working. Judy is very patient, understanding, and sympathetic to each issue that arises."

  • “[Judy / Dr. Rossi] helped me successfully address post-menopausal pelvic issues and restore my pelvic function and love life to its former luster. She has the wisdom, compassion and experience to comfortably guide women through this process.”

  • "The first time I came to see Judy was to obtain a second opinion for pelvic floor therapy. At that time, I was seeing another PT for a few weeks. I felt that my symptoms were not getting any better but rather, worse. After just one session with Judy, I felt very comfortable and confident that Judy would get my life back. Judy helped me with postpartum pelvic floor symptoms and hip pain that I developed after pregnancy. She listened to me and my body. I started noticing a big improvement in my symptoms just after a few visits. I was able to resume all my pre pregnancy activities and exercises without any pain or discomfort. Judy is professional, knowledgeable, friendly and caring. She truly cares about her patients and provides the best care."

Through her treatment approach, it became quite clear that helping individuals with pelvic floor dysfunction is her passion. In addition to treatment, she provided me with resources as well as home programming which is essential for improvement.

  • “I came to see Judy Rossi after I was just diagnosed with interstitial cystitis. I was in a great amount of pain and had a great amount of urinary urgency. My urologist referring me to her literally changed my life. Not only did she help me with my IC, but she helped me with pelvic pain I had with intercourse for my whole adult life. She educated me on so much about my own body that I didn’t know, that I feel so much more in touch with my body now than ever before. I cannot say thank you enough to her for walking alongside me on my IC journey.”
