Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy for Women
Your pelvic floor does more than you think — and it deserves expert care.
Leaking, pain, pressure — these are signals. Not sentences.
Female pelvic floor physical therapy is specialized care focused on the muscles, ligaments, fascia, and nerves that support the bladder, uterus, and bowel. These structures do a tremendous amount of work — through pregnancy, postpartum recovery, hormonal shifts, and the demands of daily life.
When they're over-stretched, too tight, or poorly coordinated, symptoms develop that affect everything from how you exercise to how you sleep. Our therapists provide individualized assessment and treatment to restore function and help you feel at home in your body again.
Common Symptoms we Treat
Most pelvic pain stems from hypertonic (too-tight) muscles — not weakness. We assess the full picture before touching a single exercise.
-
Loss of bladder control that may happen with coughing, sneezing, exercise, or a sudden strong urge to urinate. This can be related to pelvic floor weakness, overactivity, or poor coordination of the muscles that support bladder function.
-
A feeling of heaviness, dragging, or pressure in the pelvic region, often described as something “falling out” or bulging. This can occur when the pelvic floor muscles are not providing enough support to the pelvic organs.
-
Pain during penetration or sexual activity that may feel like tightness, burning, or sharp discomfort. This can be associated with involuntary muscle guarding, tissue sensitivity, or pelvic floor dysfunction involving conditions such as Vaginismus, Dyspareunia, or Vestibulodynia.
-
Ongoing discomfort or aching in the pelvic region, lower abdomen, or tailbone that may worsen with sitting, movement, or prolonged activity. This is often related to muscle tension, nerve irritation, or movement imbalances in the pelvic floor and surrounding structures.
-
Pelvic pain and muscle tightness associated with Endometriosis. The pelvic floor often becomes overactive in response to chronic pain, contributing to tension, pain with movement, and functional limitations.
-
Difficulty with bowel movements such as straining, infrequent stools, or a sudden urgent need to go. These symptoms can be related to pelvic floor coordination issues that affect how the muscles relax and contract during elimination.
-
Difficulty engaging core and pelvic floor muscles properly during movement, often leading to leaking, poor stability, or discomfort with workouts. This can limit performance and increase the risk of compensatory strain in other areas of the body.
