Women's Health Month

May is Women’s Health Month and is a vital time to recognize and prioritize the unique health needs of women at each stage of their life. It serves as a reminder to support proactive care, early detection, and personalized wellness strategies that empower women to live healthier, more active lives.


At IMPACT Physical Therapy & Sports Recovery, we are committed to supporting women through specialized services such as pelvic health therapy, injury prevention, postnatal recovery, and personalized fitness plans. Our expert clinicians create tailored treatment programs to help women recover stronger, improve mobility, and maintain long-term wellness, ensuring that health is never an afterthought.
