Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy
Pelvic floor physical therapy is a highly specialized form of physical therapy that focuses on the systemic evaluation of the pelvic floor muscles, the low back, the hips, and the pelvis. The pelvic floor muscles are involved in bowel, bladder, and sexual function, and work together in a system with the muscles surrounding the pelvis like the abdominal wall, the glutes, and the hip muscles. We will assess your movement patterns to create a treatment plan that combines education, exercises, and hands-on treatment to help you return to your goals without pain, leakage, or pressure.
-
Whether you are experiencing urinary incontinence or leakage, frequency, or urgency, we can help. Pain with urination, difficulty or needing to strain to urinate, or feeling like your bladder is never empty are all symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction.
-
Sex or intimacy should never be painful. This may look like pain with penetration, pain at the entrance or with external stimulation, or pain or difficulty with orgasm.
-
Whether you are experiencing low back pain, sciatic pain, “lightning crotch”, or “round ligament pain”, pelvic floor physical therapy can help improve comfort, reduce pain, and help you return to activities you love with support.
-
This may look like constipation, straining or pain with bowel movements, or stool leakage. We also treat symptoms associated with IBS, Chron’s disease, or ulcerative colitis.
-
Symptoms like heaviness, bulging, or a feeling of overcrowding in the pelvic region can be a common indicator of pelvic organ prolapse. Pelvic floor physical therapy can help reduce symptoms and improve comfort.

-
A c-section is a major abdominal surgery that impacts the pelvic floor muscles, the abdominal wall, and the surrounding muscles. You deserve support recovering from this major surgery including scar mobilization, early movement guidance, hands-on treatment, and exercises to get back to what you love doing.
-
Because the pelvic floor muscles work in a system with the abdominal wall, low back, and hips, your pelvic floor muscles may be impacting your low back or hip pain. It is important to assess and treat these body parts as a system.

Manual therapy is a hands-on approach led by a skilled physical therapist to assess and treat muscles, joints, fascia, and nerves. It can be used to improve joint mobility, help release muscle guarding or tension, improve fascial mobility, and mobilize scar tissue. Each technique is tailored to your body’s specific needs.

Functional dry needling (FDN) is performed by a licensed and certified physical therapist that involves inserting solid, thin needles into muscle tissue to alleviate pain, improve muscle activation, and release trigger points. FDN is always paired with active exercise to create long-lasting, sustainable change in your movement patterns.

Cupping is a technique performed by a skilled physical therapist that involves placing and suctioning therapeutic cups to the skin. The cups work via suction to improve blood flow, reduce fascial restrictions, and provide decompression therapy. Cups will be left either stationary or manipulated by the therapist.
Cupping is a great way to address -
IASTM is a technique performed by a skilled physical therapist using a handheld, metal tool specifically-shaped to address muscular and fascial restrictions.
