Women's Health

Dedicated to women’s health, Elisa takes pride in helping her female clients—from teens to seniors—happily approach the physical aspects of critical life changes. She encourages women of all ages to appreciate and strengthen their bodies and practice healthy weight management. During her physical therapy work in Switzerland, she taught classes for women dealing with osteoporosis, incontinence, as well as prenatal and postnatal exercise. As a result of over 20 years of experience, Elisa now offers specialized Personal Training for Incontinence and Osteoporosis.

Incontinence is common, and a targeted exercise program can minimize the symptoms you experience. Stress incontinence often occurs after pregnancy and symptoms include occasional unexpected leakage of urine, for example when laughing, sneezing or coughing. A primary cause for losing urine is weak pelvic floor muscles. Elisa’s Physical Therapy insures that you will learn the correct way of doing Pelvic Floor exercises. The program goes beyond doing Kegels, and includes comprehensive exercises developed in Europe for more effective results. Learn how to correctly exercise, expand your awareness and control of the pelvic floor muscles, and as a result experience a great improvement in your well-being.

Osteoporosis: Bone is living tissue that responds to exercise by becoming stronger and denser just like a muscle gets stronger and larger the more you train it. Regardless of your age, fitness level and state of health, Elisa can help you enjoy an exercise routine that meets your present needs. Personal training for Osteoporosis includes two types of exercises that are important for building and maintaining bone mass and structure:

  • Weight-bearing - walking, stair climbing, and hiking

  • Resistance training – examples are: using free weights or resistance bands.

Personal Training for Osteoporosis will help improve your balance and reduce the risk of falling. The program is fun and energizing. The goal is to give you the motivation you need to stay healthy and keep your bones strong. Elisa will bring easy to use equipment to your home or at the location of your choice.
