Pelvic Floor Therapy: It’s Not Just for Pregnancy

What Is the Pelvic Floor?

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that sit at the base of your pelvis. These muscles support:

• The bladder

• The bowel

• Sexual function

• Core stability

• Postural control

They work together with your diaphragm, deep abdominals, and low back muscles to create a stable core system.

When these muscles are too weak, too tight, or poorly coordinated, symptoms develop.

Common Symptoms We Treat

Pelvic floor dysfunction is more common than most people realize.

We frequently treat:

• Urinary leakage with coughing, running, or lifting

• Urinary urgency or frequency

• Pain with intimacy

• Postpartum core weakness

• Pelic organ prolapse symptoms

• Pelvic pain

• Recovery after prostate surgery

• Chronic low back pain linked to pelvic instability

These symptoms are common — but not normal.

Who Benefits from Pelvic Floor Therapy?

Pelvic therapy is helpful for:

• Women during pregnancy and postpartum

• Women in perimenopause and menopause

• Men after prostate surgery

• Athletes with persistent core instability

• Adults with chronic hip or back pain

Pelvic floor therapy is not only about leakage — it’s about improving strength, coordination, and confidence.
