What you'll experience
Pelvic floor physical therapy is specialized treatment focusing on the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues that support the pelvic organs (bladder, uterus/prostate, rectum). These muscles are critical for continence, sexual function, core stability, and pain-free movement. When they become weak, tight, or dysfunctional, a range of debilitating symptoms can occur.
Certified pelvic floor physical therapists use internal and external manual therapy, biofeedback, therapeutic exercises, and education to restore optimal function. Treatment may include gentle internal vaginal or rectal muscle release, trigger point therapy, strengthening exercises (beyond simple Kegels), breathing techniques, and postural correction.
Pelvic floor therapy is evidence-based treatment for urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, pelvic pain, painful intercourse, postpartum recovery, chronic prostatitis, and pre/post-surgical support. It's often more effective than surgery for many pelvic floor disorders and addresses root causes rather than just symptoms.
