Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy
What is pelvic floor therapy, and how can it help me?
Pelvic floor therapy focuses on the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues in the pelvic region, which support bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs. It’s beneficial for those experiencing:
• Urinary incontinence (leakage, urgency, or frequency)
• Pelvic pain or discomfort during intimacy
• Pelvic organ prolapse (a feeling of heaviness or pressure)
• Bowel dysfunction, including constipation or fecal incontinence
Both men and women can benefit from pelvic floor therapy!
What treatments are used in pelvic floor therapy?
Treatment is always personalized, but common techniques include:
• Pelvic floor muscle retraining (learning when to engage or relax)
• Breathwork and core integration
• Manual therapy to release tight or painful areas
• Dry needling or myofascial decompression (when appropriate)
Is pelvic floor physical therapy just for women?
No! While we specialize in women’s health and postpartum care, pelvic floor dysfunction can affect people of all genders. If you’re experiencing symptoms like incontinence, pelvic pain, or core weakness, pelvic floor therapy may be right for you.
Do I have to do Kegels?
Not necessarily! While Kegels can be helpful for some, they are not always the right solution. Many people actually need to relax their pelvic floor rather than strengthen it. Our therapists will assess your needs and create a plan that works for your body.
Pregnancy & Postpartum Care
Can I start physical therapy during pregnancy?
Yes! Prenatal physical therapy can help with:
• Back, hip, and pelvic pain
• Preparing your body for labor and delivery
• Preventing diastasis recti and prolapse
• Pain with intercourse
Starting therapy during pregnancy can ease discomfort and set you up for a smoother postpartum recovery.
When should I start postpartum physical therapy?
You can start as early as a few weeks after giving birth. You don’t have to wait until your 6-week checkup to receive guidance on gentle movement, pain relief, and core strengthening. If you had a C-section, we can also help with scar tissue mobilization and healing to support your recovery.
However, every postpartum journey is unique. We recommend speaking with your OB/GYN or physician before beginning physical therapy to ensure it aligns with your individual recovery needs.
How does physical therapy help with diastasis recti?
Diastasis recti (abdominal separation) is common after pregnancy and can lead to core weakness, back pain, and instability. Our treatment includes:
• Core and pelvic floor retraining
• Postural and movement corrections
• Manual therapy to improve tissue healing
Spine & Orthopedic Therapy
How does physical therapy help with back and pelvic pain?
We take a whole-body approach to identify the root cause of pain. Our treatments may include:
• Manual therapy (hands-on techniques to relieve tension)
• Core & pelvic stability training
• Postural & movement corrections
• Dry needling & myofascial release
What is visceral manipulation, and how can it help?
Visceral manipulation is a gentle hands-on technique that addresses restrictions in the abdomen that may be contributing to back pain, tailbone pain, bladder pain, digestive issues, or pelvic discomfort.
It’s particularly helpful for:
• C-section scar adhesions
• Digestive issues linked to musculoskeletal pain
• Postpartum or post-surgical discomfort
