Memorial Hospital and Manor is pleased to announce the launch of a new Pelvic Floor Therapy program at Memorial Outpatient Rehabilitation, expanding the hospital’s rehabilitative care services to better serve the women and men of Bainbridge and surrounding communities.
Leading this specialized service is Emilee Miller, PT, DPT, a licensed physical therapist with advanced training in pelvic floor rehabilitation. A Bainbridge native, Emilee is thrilled to return home and provide high-quality, compassionate care to the community she knows and loves.
“It’s an honor to come back to my hometown and offer a service that is so often needed but not always talked about,” said Miller. “Pelvic floor therapy can make a real difference in people’s quality of life, and I’m excited to bring this resource to our community.”
What is Pelvic Floor Therapy?
Pelvic floor therapy is a type of physical therapy that focuses on the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues in the pelvic area. These muscles play a critical role in bladder and bowel control, sexual function, and core stability. When they are weakened or not functioning properly, individuals may experience symptoms such as:
- Urinary or fecal incontinence
- Pelvic pain or pressure
- Pain during or after pregnancy
- Painful intercourse
- Constipation
- Post-surgical recovery issues (e.g. after prostatectomy or hysterectomy)
Pelvic floor therapy can help restore strength, coordination, and function through a combination of manual therapy, guided exercises, education, and behavioral strategies—all tailored to each patient’s individual needs.
A Needed Resource for the Region
“We are incredibly excited to welcome Emilee Miller to the Memorial team and to offer pelvic floor therapy services right here in Bainbridge,” said Paula Adams, Director of Rehabilitation Services. “This is a highly specialized area of care that many people suffer from in silence. By providing expert therapy close to home, we hope to improve access, comfort, and outcomes for our patients throughout southwest Georgia.”
Pelvic floor therapy is available by referral through a physician or OB/GYN, and consultations are now being scheduled at Memorial Outpatient Rehabilitation. For more information or to make a referral, please call Memorial Outpatient Rehabilitation at: 229-243-8124.
