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 & How We Treat
Evaluation and Assessment
We offer physical therapists who specialize in pelvic floor therapy. Treatment begins with a comprehensive evaluation that may include assessing your muscle strength, joint mobility, posture, and the function of the pelvic floor muscles.
Pelvic Floor Muscle Training
We often prescribe pelvic floor exercises (also known as Kegel exercises) which are focused on strengthening weak pelvic floor muscles. In some cases, relaxation exercises may be recommended instead for people with overactive (hypertonic) pelvic floor muscles.
Biofeedback
This technique utilizes electronic monitoring that creates visual or auditory feedback of pelvic floor muscle activity. Biofeedback can be used to help you learn how to control and coordinate your pelvic floor muscles.
Manual Therapy
Our therapists sometimes utilize hands-on techniques to address trigger points, restrictions, and muscle tension in the pelvic floor muscles. The technique may involve external and internal manual therapy to help relieve tightness and increase flexibility.
Bladder and Bowel Training
For people with bladder and bowel control issues, our therapists can implement specific strategies to improve continence – including timed voiding and pelvic floor muscle training.
Postpartum Rehabilitation
Postpartum women are often prescribed pelvic floor physical therapy in order to address issues that may arise after childbirth – including episiotomy healing, perineal tearing, and pelvic floor weakness.
