LGBTQ+ Medicine Q & A
What Forms the Foundation of LGBTQ+ Affirming Care?
Too often, LGBTQ+ individuals face bias and discomfort in healthcare settings. At Elation Physical Therapy, we’ve created a space where every person — regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation — is seen, respected, and supported in their healing journey.
Our approach is built on:
• Clinically competent care rooted in evidence-based practice
• Cultural humility and LGBTQ+ health training
• Personalized recovery plans that prioritize your goals and safety
• An environment where your identity is never questioned — only honored
When Do LGBTQ+ Patients Need Physical Therapy?
Physical therapy plays a vital role in healing from injury, illness, or surgery. We commonly treat:
• Orthopedic injuries (sprains, fractures, ACL tears)
• Chronic conditions (arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis)
• Sports-related injuries
• Post-surgical recovery (including joint replacements and rotator cuff repairs)
• Neck and low back pain
• Pelvic floor dysfunction
We also provide specialized physical therapy for transgender and non-binary individuals, particularly before and after planned gender-affirming procedures.
Gender-Affirming Postoperative Care
We proudly offer pre- and post-operative pelvic floor therapy for individuals undergoing gender-affirming surgeries. These services:
• Support core and pelvic muscle health
• Improve bladder and bowel control
• Reduce pelvic pain and dysfunction
• Enhance surgical outcomes and quality of life
Our team is knowledgeable in trans-inclusive protocols and will work closely with your surgical care team to ensure coordinated, whole-person care.
