Our Pelvic Health Services

We treat a wide range of pelvic floor and orthopedic conditions, including:

• Pelvic pain
• Urinary incontinence and urgency
• Bowel dysfunction and constipation
• Pain with intercourse
• Prenatal and postpartum discomfort
• Diastasis recti
• Pelvic organ prolapse
• Endometriosis-related pain
• Sacroiliac and low back pain
• Hip pain and core instability

Because the pelvic floor works closely with your core, hips, and spine, dysfunction in this area can impact your entire body. Our goal is to restore balance and coordination for improved overall function.

 

What Is Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy?

Pelvic floor physical therapy is a specialized form of physical therapy that focuses on the muscles, ligaments, connective tissues, and nerves within the pelvic region. These muscles support the bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs while playing a key role in urinary, bowel, and sexual function.

Treatment may include:

• Manual therapy
• Myofascial release
• Scar mobilization
• Guided strengthening and stretching exercises
• Breathing and core retraining
• Biofeedback techniques
• Postural correction
• Relaxation training

Through targeted interventions, we help retrain the pelvic floor muscles to contract, relax, and coordinate properly.

 

Signs You May Benefit from Pelvic Floor Therapy

You may benefit from pelvic physical therapy if you experience:

• Pelvic or lower abdominal pain
• Pain during intercourse
• Leakage when coughing, sneezing, or exercising
• Frequent urination (more than 8 times daily)
• Difficulty emptying your bladder
• Constipation or straining
• Low back or hip pain
• Muscle spasms in the pelvis

These symptoms are common but not normal — and they are treatable with the right care.

 

What to Expect During Treatment

Initial Evaluation

Your first visit includes a comprehensive review of your medical history, lifestyle, symptoms, and goals. We may discuss:

• Pregnancy and birth history
• Surgical history
• Urinary and bowel habits
• Exercise routine
• Previous injuries
• Daily activities and posture

A physical assessment may include posture analysis, movement screening, strength testing, and, when appropriate, a pelvic floor examination.

Customized Treatment Plan

Following your evaluation, we develop a tailored plan designed to:

• Reduce pain
• Improve muscle coordination
• Restore strength and flexibility
• Improve bladder and bowel control
• Support safe return to activity

We continuously reassess your progress and adjust your plan as needed.

 

Home Program

You’ll receive guided exercises and strategies to practice at home. Consistency between visits is essential for optimal outcomes and long-term success.

Pelvic Floor Dysfunction

Pelvic floor dysfunction can involve either weakness or excessive tightness in the pelvic muscles. Both can lead to symptoms such as:

 

Sexual Dysfunction

Tightness, scarring, or weakness in the pelvic floor may cause discomfort during penetration or orgasm.

 

Incontinence

Stress incontinence is common after pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, or prostate treatment.

 

Constipation

Difficulty relaxing the pelvic muscles during bowel movements can contribute to chronic constipation.

With proper therapy, these conditions can significantly improve.

 

Preventative Pelvic Health Care

Pelvic floor physical therapy is not only for treating problems — it can also help prevent them.

During pregnancy, your body undergoes major physical changes. Our prenatal and postpartum programs are designed to support posture, balance, core stability, and recovery after childbirth. Each program is individualized and may include:

• Gentle manual therapy
• Pelvic floor muscle training
• Postural retraining
• Core strengthening
• Education for safe movement and lifting

 

Will I Need Therapy Long-Term?

Most patients do not require lifelong therapy. The goal of pelvic floor physical therapy is to restore normal function so you can confidently manage your health independently. The number of sessions needed varies depending on your condition, but many patients notice meaningful improvements within a few visits.

 

Is Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy Right for You?

The best way to determine whether pelvic floor therapy is appropriate for you is to schedule an evaluation. We carefully assess the underlying cause of your symptoms before recommending treatment. If pelvic therapy is not the best option, we will guide you toward the appropriate next steps.
