Transgender and Non-Binary Physical Therapy

What is transgender and non-binary physical therapy?

If you are a transgender or non-binary individual with a history of packing, tucking, or binding, or if you are considering or have undergone gender-affirming surgery, the Level Up team is here to help and support you. There can be negative side-effects to many of these techniques and procedures that can result in back, chest, shoulder and pelvic pain/dysfunction. Pelvic health physical therapy can improve urinary, bowel and/or sexual dysfunction, as well as pain and tightness in the pelvic floor. If you are considering or have had top surgery, we can improve your strength and mobility, decrease nerve symptoms and minimize scar adhesions or discomfort.

We recognize that information, support and understanding in transgender and non-binary health can be lacking in the medical community. We are committed to creating a safe and inclusive space for our patients where they can feel heard and seen. We have sought out the specific knowledge and training to help you feel better and have the experience to see results!
