Pelvic Physical Therapy
Pelvic physical therapy is a specialized form of care designed to address dysfunctions in the pelvic region, including the muscles, ligaments, nerves, and surrounding structures. At the core of pelvic physical therapy is a thorough and compassionate evaluation, which allows our therapists to create a personalized plan to help patients restore function, relieve pain, and improve overall quality of life.
During the evaluation, your physical therapist will take the time to understand your medical history, symptoms, and goals. This includes a detailed discussion about your bladder, bowel, sexual, and musculoskeletal health, along with a physical assessment of posture, mobility, core strength, and pelvic alignment. If appropriate, an internal assessment may be performed to evaluate the function of the pelvic floor muscles, though this is always done with patient consent and comfort in mind.
Our treatment approach is holistic and evidence-based, addressing not just the symptoms but the underlying causes of your pelvic health concerns. Depending on your needs, your therapy plan may include:
-
Pelvic floor muscle retraining: Strengthening or relaxing the pelvic muscles to restore balance and function.
-
Manual therapy: Hands-on techniques to release muscle tension, improve mobility, and alleviate pain.
-
Biofeedback: Non-invasive tools to help you better understand and control pelvic muscle activity.
-
Therapeutic exercises: Targeted stretches and movements to improve core strength, stability, and flexibility.
-
Education: Guidance on posture, lifestyle modifications, and self-care strategies to support your progress outside the clinic.
Pelvic physical therapy can be highly effective for conditions such as pelvic pain, incontinence, prolapse, postpartum recovery, diastasis recti, and more. Our skilled therapists take a compassionate and individualized approach, ensuring you feel supported and empowered every step of the way.
We are committed to helping you achieve lasting relief, improved function, and a better quality of life through specialized pelvic physical therapy.
