"This is a great forum for a frank discussion of health issues that are most important to women," stated  Karen Red, PT, Women's Health Director, First Choice Rehabilitation Specialists Physical Therapy.  "I am glad to be able to share information about Pelvic Floor Rehab, a relatively unknown specialty of physical therapy that may help many women in attendance. CBW attendees are women who will share this information with others. They are the type of women who will be proactive about making informed medical decisions about themselves and those people close to them."
