Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy

Pelvic floor physical therapy is a specialty area focusing on the rehabilitation of muscles in the pelvic floor. It is performed by a physical therapist with specialized training in the assessment and treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction including bladder, bowel, sexual dysfunction and pelvic pain.

A pelvic floor physical therapist will perform an external assessment, and sometimes assess internally if needed, to determine if your pelvic floor muscles are the driver or the victim of your symptoms. An individualized treatment plan will then be created specifically for you that may include manual therapy, neuromuscular re-education, bladder/bowel retraining and therapeutic exercise prescription.

Pelvic floor conditions we treat include:

• Bladder dysfunction
• Bowel dysfunction
• Sexual dysfunction
• Pregnancy and postpartum conditions
• Post-operative conditions
