Pelvic Floor Therapy
Pelvic Floor Therapy is a specialized, evidence-based approach designed to restore strength, balance, and ease in the muscles that support the bladder, bowel, and pelvis. These muscles operate silently behind the scenes, yet they significantly impact everything from stability to daily function. When they relax, tighten, or become unsynchronized, discomfort ensues. Pelvic Floor Therapy offers a controlled and gentle approach to achieving ease and control.
What Is Pelvic Floor Therapy?
Pelvic Floor Therapy specifically evaluates and works on the muscles, connective tissues, and nerves in the pelvic region. Treatments are a combination of exercises, manual techniques, biofeedback, and education. The idea is to retrain the pelvic floor to support your body the way it’s supposed to. This treatment is suitable for individuals of any gender and addresses your specific symptoms and objectives.
Who Can Benefit From Pelvic Floor Therapy?
Pelvic Floor Therapy is beneficial for anyone with pain, loss of strength or dysfunction in their pelvic area. It is helpful with urinary leaking, pelvic pain, postpartum recovery issues, constipation, pain during intercourse, prolapse symptoms or core instability. Whether your symptoms are new or lifelong, targeted pelvic care can help restore your body to a state of normalcy.
Common Conditions Treated
Pelvic Floor Therapy can help treat and heal the following:
- Urinary incontinence
- Pelvic organ prolapse

How Pelvic Floor Therapy Works
The first step in your treatment is an extensive examination to assess your symptoms and the condition of your pelvic muscles. As appropriate, your treatment may include guided pelvic floor exercises, relaxation skills, breathing retraining, manual therapy, postural correction, and lifestyle advice. This whole-body method alleviates tension, strengthens, and coordinates the body, allowing your pelvic floor to function effectively again.
Benefits of Pelvic Floor Therapy
Pelvic Floor Therapy provides long-lasting improvements in bladder output and control, bowel function, pelvic support, and overall comfort. It may alleviate daily annoyances, increase mobility, and confidence in basic movements such as lifting, walking, and exercising. Many of our clients also find that as the pelvic floor returns to optimal function, their core and lower back pain improve.
