Female therapists care for female patients

(JOHNSON, Ark.) - March 6, 2019 – A women’s-only physical therapy clinic has opened next to Willow Creek Women’s Hospital. Located in the medical office building by the hospital, Northwest Medical Center’s Women’s Health Studio at Willow Creek is located at 5501 Willow Creek Drive, Suite 203, in Johnson. A ribbon-cutting ceremony is planned for 4:30 p.m. Thursday, March 7, with leaders from Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce. There will be an open house until 6:30 p.m., with tours available of the studio including the fitness area which features wellness programming just for women.

Among the services provided at the PT Clinic are therapies to strengthen the pelvic floor and other female-specific issues. A certified lymphedema therapist is also available. Other conditions and issues treated include arthritis, balance disorders, headaches, fibromyalgia, sports injuries, vertigo, and stroke as well as acute and chronic pain.

“We’re pleased to be able to open this women’s-only physical therapy clinic with an all-female staff of therapists,” said Juli McWhorter, Chief Administrative Officer of Willow Creek Women’s Hospital. “Physical and occupational therapy can help women reduce or eliminate pain, recover from injury, improve mobility, and even avoid surgery.”

Physical and occupational therapists utilize techniques including therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, functional training, dry needling, biofeedback and other treatments as needed in order to assist each patient with reaching their goals and returning to their prior functional level. They can also prevent further loss of mobility by developing wellness and home exercise programs for a healthier, more active lifestyle.

• One-on-one evaluations and treatments
