Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy

It can feel awkward at first—but pelvic PT is deeply empowering. It’s private, personalized, and often more effective than medication alone. Don’t wait until things get worse—this is core care, not a last resort.

Pelvic PT strengthens, relaxes, and re-coordinates the muscles of the pelvic floor, addressing leaks, urgency, prolapse, pain, and more.

Estrogen loss and childbirth can weaken or dysregulate pelvic floor muscles. PT includes internal and external techniques to restore coordination, strength, and flexibility, often using biofeedback or manual therapy.

Not ideal during active infections, unhealed surgery, or if manual internal work isn’t medically advised

Temporary soreness or fatigue after early sessions

Work with a licensed pelvic floor therapist. Sessions may include internal assessment, exercises, relaxation techniques, and home practice.
