Where is My Pelvic Pain Coming From?
Pain in the pelvic floor can be caused by postpartum issues, urinary problems, pelvic organ prolapse or other conditions. The pelvic floor is a group of muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues that provide support to the pelvic organs, including the bladder, uterus (in females), and rectum.
Pelvic floor physical therapy can be beneficial for both men and women and is commonly recommended for various conditions. We will design a personalized treatment plan designed to relieve your pain and address your specific condition.

What We Treat
Evaluation and Assessment
Our physical therapists specializing in pelvic floor therapy begin by conducting a thorough evaluation. This may involve assessing posture, muscle strength, joint mobility, and the function of the pelvic floor muscles.
Pelvic Floor Muscle Training
Pelvic floor exercises, commonly known as Kegel exercises, are often prescribed to strengthen weak pelvic floor muscles. Conversely, relaxation exercises may be recommended for individuals with hypertonic (overactive) pelvic floor muscles.
Biofeedback
Biofeedback is a technique that uses electronic monitoring to provide visual or auditory feedback about pelvic floor muscle activity. This helps individuals learn how to control and coordinate their pelvic floor muscles.
Manual Therapy
We may use hands-on techniques to address muscle tension, trigger points, and restrictions in the pelvic floor muscles. This can include internal and external manual therapy to release tightness and improve flexibility.
Bladder and Bowel Training
We can assist individuals with bladder and bowel control issues by implementing specific strategies, such as timed voiding and pelvic floor muscle training for improved continence.
Postpartum Rehabilitation
Pelvic floor physical therapy is often recommended for postpartum women to address issues such as perineal tearing, episiotomy, healing and pelvic floor weakness that may arise after childbirth.
