Pelvic Health Physical Therapy- No, it's not just kegels…
Pelvic health physical therapy focuses on restoring strength, control, and function of the muscles and tissues of the pelvic floor. It can help individuals experiencing issues that range from pelvic pain, incontinence, pre and postpartum recovery challenges, core weakness and beyond.
Our pelvic health specialist provides personalized, one-on-one care to help you move comfortably, regain confidence, and improve quality of life — whether you’re recovering from childbirth, surgery, or simply want better pelvic health and core strength.
10 Common Conditions Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy Can Help
- Urinary Incontinence
– Ever get nervous when you have to sneeze or laugh too hard? Leakage with coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercise is called stress incontinence. This is something that is more common than we would like to see, but just because it is common does not mean it is normal.
– Having to stop every 45-60 min on a road trip? This is referred to as urgency or frequency issues (urge incontinence). Try PFPT and celebrate making that 4 hour drive with only 1 stop! - Pelvic Pain
– Tried multiple things to get that chronic or intermittent pain in the pelvis, lower abdomen, or hip region to go away thinking it was due to muscle tension, nerve irritation, or scar tissue? Oftentimes it is because you are missing a key component- your pelvic floor. - Postpartum Recovery
– This one is a no brainer. Everyone should utilize PFPT following childbirth to minimize core and pelvic floor weakness, pain, diastasis recti, and help return to all activities safely and with confidence after childbirth. - Pelvic Organ Prolapse
– Are you experiencing a feeling of heaviness or pressure in your pelvic region? This could be due to bladder, uterus, or rectum descent — Good news! This is often improved with strengthening and support techniques. - Pain with Intercourse (Dyspareunia)
– Sometimes our spouses are a pain, but *getting frisky* shouldn’t be. PFPT can help with muscle tightness, scar tissue, or nerve irritation contributing to discomfort or pain during intimacy. - Constipation & Bowel Dysfunction
– Time to get things moving. If you are having difficulty with bowel movements, straining or feelings of incomplete emptying, give us a call. - Low Back, Hip, or Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Pain
– Often linked to pelvic floor imbalance or core dysfunction that affects alignment and stability. Pair this with some of your normal exercises and PT routines, and you have a recipe for success. - Post-Surgical Pelvic or Abdominal Recovery
– Again, this is a no brainer. Support yourself and give your body what it needs to heal after hysterectomy, prostate surgery, or C-section — addressing scar mobility, strength, function, and pain. - Pregnancy-Related Pain
– Let’s be real, our bodies change A LOT during pregnancy. We are beautifully made, but as that change happens, other not so pleasant things happen as well. You can experience pubic symphysis pain, tailbone pain, or pelvic girdle discomfort during pregnancy which can be mitigated with PFPT. - Pelvic Floor Dysfunction in Men
– It's not just for women! Men have pelvic floors too! These issues can range from urinary issues, post-prostatectomy incontinence, pelvic pain, and erectile or bladder function concerns.
