Reyna Bucknell earned her Doctorate in Physical Therapy in the beginning of 2016 from the University of St. Augustine. She specializes in Orthopedics and enjoys working with patients of all ages. She also focuses on Pelvic Rehabilitation, and is working on completing the extensive certification process. Reyna is originally from New Orleans, but she grew up in Venezuela where she became fluent in Spanish. She enjoys traveling to new places, learning new and better techniques for treating her patients, and taking her dog to the beach. She has always had a passion for helping others. She underwent physical therapy herself in 2007, which inspired her to attain her doctorate so she can help other people achieve their physical goals and get back to the lives they enjoy living. She joined the ProActive team in October 2018.
We often think that urine leakage is a normal part of aging. However, we have muscles in our pelvis called the pelvic floor muscles that are responsible for controlling this function and preventing urine from coming out at inappropriate times. Just like you would exercise your legs to keep walking and your arms to be able to carry your groceries, you should be exercising your pelvic floor muscles to stay in control of your bladder.
Many women suffer from pelvic, vaginal, abdominal or rectal pain. They often undergo many tests and even invasive surgeries to try and fix this problem, but continue to suffer from pain. Many women are afraid to even approach the subject with their physicians because they are ashamed or embarrassed. Pain in these regions is not normal and it will likely not go away on its own. Pain is usually a sign of an underlying problem that needs to be addressed.
