Conditions we specialize in treating

  • Pelvic floor physical therapy, also known as pelvic rehabilitation or pelvic floor rehabilitation, is a specialized form of physical therapy that focuses on the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues of the pelvic floor. Both men and women have a pelvic floor and can benefit greatly from pelvic floor physical therapy.

    The pelvic floor is a group of muscles located at the base of the pelvis that play a crucial role in supporting the pelvic organs, including the bladder, uterus, and rectum. These muscles also help control urinary and fecal continence, sexual function, and stabilize the pelvis during movement. However, factors such as pregnancy, childbirth, hormonal changes, aging, and certain medical conditions can weaken or dysfunction the pelvic floor muscles, leading to a wide range of issues in women.

    Pelvic floor physical therapy can provide significant benefits for women dealing with a variety of pelvic floor issues, from pelvic organ prolapse and urinary incontinence to pelvic pain and dyspareunia. Through targeted exercises, manual techniques, and other specialized techniques, pelvic floor physical therapy can help women strengthen and tone their pelvic floor muscles, improve bladder and bowel control, alleviate pain, and improve overall quality of life.

    It's important for women to seek care from a qualified and experienced pelvic floor physical therapist to ensure the best possible outcomes. Pelvic floor physical therapy is a safe, non-invasive, and effective treatment option for women dealing with a variety of pelvic floor issues. With the help of a skilled pelvic floor specialist, women can improve their pelvic floor health and reclaim their comfort, confidence, and quality of life.
