Pelvic Health

Specialty therapy available for those affected by pelvic floor dysfunction

Pelvic floor dysfunction — frequent bathroom visits, leaking, constipation, pelvic pain or pressure — can be something you don’t want to talk about.

There’s no need to suffer in silence.

Yet, many people do.

For both men and women, pelvic floor issues can be life-altering, sometimes to the point of stealing the joy from everyday activities.

Don’t wait. We have pelvic health therapists who will listen to your concerns, privately work with you to address your symptoms and help get you back on track.

Starting the conversation with your health care provider is the first step to improving your pelvic health. Receiving the most effective pelvic health therapy — at the right time — is key to helping you feel your best.

What is pelvic floor therapy?

Pelvic health therapy is a specialized program providing care — and relief — to those experiencing pelvic floor dysfunction symptoms. Our patients have access to specially trained pelvic health physical therapists.

Whether through pelvic floor exercises for strengthening or relaxing muscles, muscle/organ retraining or  manual therapy, the goal of pelvic health therapy is to improve the function of the pelvic floor, which supports the bladder, uterus, urethra and other organs.

Specialized pelvic health therapy targets the problem

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles, ligaments and tissues that form a sling to support the pelvic organs and spine, and help with control and coordination of bowel, bladder and sexual function. Pelvic floor dysfunction describes bowel and bladder disorders, sexual disorders and chronic pelvic pain syndromes that affect, or are caused by, the pelvic floor muscles’ inability to contract or relax appropriately.

Seeing a pelvic health therapist means you are committing your care to someone who has special training for these conditions and can direct their skills to your needs.

The following conditions may benefit from pelvic health physical therapy:

• Urinary urgency, frequency or pain
• Incontinence of bowel or bladder
• Incomplete emptying of the bowel or bladder
• Constipation
• Low back or tailbone pain
• Separation of the abdominal wall
• Pain in the pelvic region, genitals or rectum
• Discomfort with intimacy or exams
• Muscle spasm in the lower abdomen or pelvis
• Pressure or heaviness in the pelvic region or rectum
• Pregnancy/postpartum, menopause or painful periods
