Regain Your Confidence with Pelvic Floor Therapy

Pelvic floor physical therapy is a specialized form of care that helps improve the strength, coordination,
and function of the pelvic floor muscles. It can help treat pelvic pain, bladder or bowel leakage, urgency,
constipation, pain with intimacy, low back or hip pain, and symptoms related to pregnancy and postpartum
recovery. Pelvic floor therapy can also benefit men experiencing pelvic pain, urinary issues, or recovery
after prostate surgery. Whether you are experiencing symptoms now or simply want to be proactive,
pelvic floor therapy can support your body through every stage of life.

What to Expect

Treatment sessions will be private, one-on-one and during the first visit your therapist will spend time discussing your concerns, medical history, goals, and daily activities before performing any assessment.

Your first visit typically includes a pelvic floor assessment which is a thorough evaluation designed to better understand how your muscles, core, breathing patterns, posture, and movement may be contributing to your symptoms.

Depending on your symptoms and comfort level, the evaluation may include an internal pelvic floor muscle assessment. This is performed gently using one gloved finger to assess muscle strength, coordination, tension, tenderness, and overall pelvic floor function. An internal exam is often the best way to fully evaluate the pelvic floor muscles, but it is never required.

Unlike a gynecological exam, a pelvic floor assessment is focused on evaluating muscles, movement, function, and coordination. No speculum is used, and the pace of the assessment is guided entirely by your comfort and consent.

Your consent is ongoing throughout the entire session, and you may decline or stop any portion of the assessment at any time. External-only assessments and treatment options are always available. Our goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable throughout your care.

Treatment may include education, exercises, breathing strategies, manual therapy, movement retraining, and lifestyle modifications designed to help you move and feel better.

Whether you are currently experiencing symptoms, preparing for birth, recovering postpartum, or simply looking to be proactive with your health, pelvic floor therapy can help support your long-term function and quality of life.
