Meet Pamela Leacu in Galveston TX!

A physical therapist at Integrated Rehabilitation Services, Vernon office, Pamela, (MSPT, OCS, CIDN, CMP) has a deep interest in studying and learning more about the orthopedic diagnosis related to the pelvis, more specifically related to the lower back and hip. She has expanded her knowledge and education on the treatment of the pelvic floor.

Pelvic Pain and Urinary Incontinence/ Overactive Bladder
In her experience from treating these orthopedic issues, Pamela has discovered that patients complain about pelvic pain, organ prolapse, and an overactive bladder. A startling discovery is that women have been dealing with these pains and issues for YEARS postpartum, and they have gone completely unaddressed! However, Pamela is having positive results by combining her background in orthopedics with the diagnosis related to these issues women are experiencing.

“I want women to know that urinary incontinence and pelvic pain are not symptoms we need to learn to live with! There is treatment that can help and it is never too late to address these concerns.”

Pamela had decided to continue her education at Herman and Wallace and the APTA to learn more about postpartum and pregnancy-related conditions so she can better help her patients. She is thrilled to offer these treatments in the Vernon clinic so women can start healing after pregnancy and not endure pain that could be relieved.
