RVA Physical Therapy has introduced a new orthotic support device called the Femme Jock, available on Etsy at TheFemmeJockStoreUS. The patented Femme Jock is designed to be worn over underwear to support the pelvic muscles, the perineum and rectal soft tissue, prevent damage and provide stability. A lift reduces elevated pelvic floor muscle tension and supports weak pelvic floor muscles.

Conditions that may benefit from the device include anal sphincter damage, fecal or urinary urgency, hypertonic or hypotonic pelvic floor, prolapse of pelvic organs, post-partum support/post-delivery support and vulvar varicosities. Athletes that run, climb, sail or bike may find it particularly useful.

Pelvic health comprises more than just treating urinary incontinence and pelvic pain. The health of pelvic floor muscles can affect sexual health, musculoskeletal issues, mobility and digestive disorders. RVA Physical Therapy offers multiple solutions and treatments for women experiencing urinary and fecal incontinence, chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS), pelvic neuralgia, endometriosis, bowel disorders, vulvar pain, painful intercourse dyspareunia, persistent genital arousal disorder (PGAD) and more.

A full-service physical therapy practice, RVA Physical Therapy also treats a variety of orthopedic-related conditions and offers an in-office aquatic therapy pool and post-surgery and sports rehab.
