Pelvic Health
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles, connective tissues, nerves, and vessels that line the bottom of your pelvis.
They are integral to the function of your “core”, and help regulate bladder, bowel, and sexual function.
People of all ages, in all body types, and of all genders have pelvic floor dysfunction.
Pelvic Pain
Pelvic pain can have a major impact on your daily life.
Whether it is pain with sitting, going to the bathroom, or with intercourse, pelvic pain is never normal. Pain in the pelvis (including vagina, penis/testicles, perineum, rectum, tailbone, and lower abdomen) can be a sign of pelvic floor dysfunction. Pelvic floor muscles can become too tight, too weak, or uncoordinated, leading to dysfunction and pain.
Common pelvic pain conditions we treat include:
Vaginismus • Vulvodynia • Pudendal Neuralgia
Atrophic Vaginitis • Coccydynia • Proctalgia Fugax
Chronic Non-Bacterial Prostatitis (see below)
Dyspareunia (pain with sex) • Pain with erection or ejaculation
Pelvic floor dysfunction related to endometriosis
Pregnancy and Postpartum
Pregnancy brings incredible changes to your body, and postpartum recovery comes with its own set of challenges. From pelvic discomfort to core weakness, these changes can leave you feeling not quite like yourself. The good news? You don’t have to just accept it. Pelvic physical therapy is a powerful tool to help you restore strength, relieve discomfort, and support your body through every stage of recovery—
so you can feel like you again.
Common issues we treat are:
Urinary leaking and incontinence • Pain with intercourse
Pelvic organ prolapse (aka “bladder dropping”)
Sciatica and low back pain • Round ligament pain
Pubic symphysis dysfunction • Diastasis Recti
C-section related pain and weakness
Bladder Issues
Do you find yourself crossing your legs when you sneeze? Rushing to the bathroom in fear of not making it in time? Or perhaps your friends joke about your ‘small bladder’?
You’re not alone.
Urinary leakage, bladder urgency, and frequent trips to the bathroom are often signs of pelvic floor dysfunction—and they’re not something you have to live with. No matter your age or medical history, these issues are treatable, and we’re here to help you regain control and feel confident again.
Other common bladder issues we treat:
Interstitial Cystitis (painful bladder syndrome)
Stress and urge incontinence • ”Overactive bladder”
Cystocele or bladder prolapse
Chronic Non-Bacterial Prostatitis
(or Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome)
Prostatitis, or inflammation of the prostate, can lead to pain in the genitals, perineum, lower abdomen, or hips. Chronic non-bacterial prostatitis (also known as CPPS) often stems from pelvic floor muscle tension or pelvic nerve irritation and doesn’t respond to antibiotics. Pelvic physical therapy can assess these areas, helping to identify the root cause of your pain and offering relief through targeted treatment strategies.
Common symptoms of CPPS:
Pelvic pain (penis, testicles, perineum, anus)
Urinary urgency and frequency • Pain with urination
Difficulty emptying bladder • Pain with erection or ejaculation
Erectile dysfunction • Premature ejaculation
