Pelvic Floor Dysfunction Physical Therapy
Individualized pelvic floor physical therapy for leakage, pelvic pressure, discomfort, and muscle coordination concerns.
Service Overview
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that support the bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs. These muscles also help control urination and bowel movements, contribute to sexual function, and work with the deep core and diaphragm during movement and breathing.
When pelvic floor muscles are weak, overly tense, or poorly coordinated, people may experience leakage, pressure, discomfort, difficulty relaxing, or bowel and bladder changes. Pelvic floor physical therapy uses a whole-body assessment to understand what may be contributing and to build an individualized plan.
