What Is Pelvic Floor Therapy—and Who Is It For?

Pelvic floor therapy is a specialized form of physical therapy that focuses on the muscles, joints, and connective tissues of the pelvis and core. These muscles play a critical role in bladder and bowel control, sexual function, posture, breathing, and overall stability.

Pelvic floor therapy is not just for postpartum women or those experiencing pain—although it can be incredibly helpful in those cases. It supports people through every stage of life, including pregnancy, postpartum recovery, menopause, and injury rehabilitation.

Common reasons someone may benefit from pelvic floor therapy include pelvic pain, painful sex, leaking or urgency, diastasis recti, pelvic organ prolapse, and core weakness. Treatment is always personalized and may include movement assessment, manual therapy, targeted exercises, and education to help you better understand how your body works.

At Pelvic Health Specialists, our goal is to treat the root cause of symptoms—not just manage them—so you can feel stronger, more comfortable, and more confident in your body.
