Pelvic Health

Millions of women suffer from pelvic floor dysfunction which can lead to urinary and/or bowel incontinence and pelvic pain. Pregnancy, childbirth, chronic constipation, chronic coughing, surgery, trauma and aging can cause pelvic floor muscle tension, incoordination and weakness. Pelvic floor therapy or other women's specific physical therapy may help.

Pelvic floor dysfunction is often associated with women’s health and postpartum recovery, but it is also quite prevalent in men. Common pelvic pain conditions include: erectile dysfunction, prostatitis, urinary incontinence, levator ani syndrome, pudendal neuralgia, and chronic pelvic pain syndrome (among many others). While it sounds scary (and maybe not so sexy), don’t let it get you down. It doesn’t mean you're damaged. You just need the right course of action.

Pelvic Health Questions?

  • What will your first appointment look like?
You will be in a private space one-to one with our licensed and board certified Physical Therapist. We will review your medical history, complete a functional movement examination and internal pelvic floor examination will be performed either intravaginally or intrarectally to see how your pelvic floor muscles are functioning (the muscles in your Pelvis) We will have a conversation about your goals and answer any questions you may have. You will work with your Physical Therapist to develop a treatment plan that is evidence based, holistic and individualized to meet your personal goals. The examinations are completed as pain-free as possible and patients are surprised that the examinations are not as bad as they anticipated.
