Pelvic health physical therapy helps with addressing issues related to the pelvic region, including bladder issues, bowel issues, sexual dysfunction, and pelvic pain.
The pelvic floor muscles help support our spine, allow us to control when and where we pee or poop, help support our pelvic organs and play important roles in sexual function and childbirth. In order to do their job well, the pelvic floor muscles need to be strong and flexible, and they need to have good timing and coordination with other muscles. Pelvic health physical therapy is the primary treatment recommendation for several conditions including:
Urinary Incontinence
Overactive Bladder
Interstitial Cystitis
Constipation
IBS
Endometriosis
Pudendal Neuralgia
and more

Comprehensive Pelvic Health Evaluation
Comprehensive Pelvic Health Evaluation is for women or men experiencing bladder, bowel, or sexual health concerns. Together, we will review your symptoms, past injuries or illnesses, and what things have seemed to help or worsen your symptoms. Your story often paints a picture of what is working well and what is not working well. The physical assessment typically includes evaluation of movement patterns of the spine, hips and pelvis. An internal (vaginal or rectal) assessment of the pelvic floor is often recommended* as this helps provide important details about muscle tone (tightness, spasm, trigger points, etc.), muscle strength/endurance and muscle coordination necessary for bladder and bowel control. Comprehensive Pelvic Health Evaluation is scheduled for 90 minutes to allow adequate time for education, questions, and to establish a detailed plan of care.
*An internal assessment of the pelvic floor muscles can provide valuable information, but is NEVER required. Please schedule a free consultation if you have any questions or concerns prior to scheduling.
