Pelvic Floor Therapy

Restore Strength, Confidence, and Comfort

What is the Pelvic Floor?

Dysfunction might be more common than you think, 1 in 4 females and 1 in 10 males experience pelvic floor issues.

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues that support many daily activities. These muscles play an important role in controlling bladder and bowel function, supporting pregnancy and childbirth, and contributing to sexual health. Just like other muscles, the pelvic floor can become weak, tight, uncoordinated, or irritable - leading to symptoms that affect comfort and interfere with daily function.

Just like other muscles in the body, the pelvic floor can be strengthened, desensitized, and rehabilitated through targeted therapy and exercise. 

What can it help?

Bladder Leaks or Urgency

Leaking during activities such as coughing, sneezing, walking, jumping, or weightlifting. Experiencing a sudden, intense urge to urinate or needing to use the bathroom more frequently than usual.

Menopausal Changes

Hormonal changes during perimenopause and post menopause can decrease tissue elasticity, cause vaginal dryness, pelvic pressure, discomfort with intimacy, and increased bladder symptoms.

Pelvic Pain or Prolapse

This can feel like aching, burning, heaviness, or pressure in the lower abdomen, pelvis, or tailbone. Pain may occur with movement, prolonged sitting, or with sexual activity.

Pregnancy and Postpartum

Conception, pregnancy, and birth (vaginal or c-sections) can all increase the demand placed on the pelvic floor. Muscles can and should be strengthened to ease symptoms and speed up recovery.

Core Pressure Management

Improper coordination of the core muscles—including the back, abdominals, and pelvic floor—can increase symptoms during challenging movements. This can also contribute to pain in the back, hips, or pelvis.

Later Adulthood

We work with individuals in the Medicare population, typically age 65 and older, who may be experiencing changes in strength, balance, bladder or bowel control, and overall pelvic health.
