Stephens PT MacLeod one of four in Maine with advanced pelvic training

NORWAY — Stephens Memorial Hospital physical therapist Tracie MacLeod has received a certificate of achievement in pelvic physical therapy, Physical Rehabilitation Department Manager Lissa Merrill recently announced.

MacLeod is now one of only four PTs in the state who holds the advanced level of training from the American Physical Therapy Association. Her specialty allows her to help both men and women with urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, bowel dysfunction and pelvic organ prolapse.
To be CAPP certified, MacLeod had to complete three courses of training in pelvic physical therapy over four years and pass each course with both written and clinical tests. Her final step was to successfully complete an in-depth written case report.
MacLeod has been a member of the SMH’s physical therapy department for six years, actively helping patients with pelvic floor problems for four years. She is a member of the American Physical Therapy Association and the Women’s Health Rehabilitation Special Interest Group.
