Pelvic Health Physical Therapy

Personalized care for bowel, bladder and sexual health.

Pelvic Health issues can present themselves in a variety of (frustrating) ways, oftentimes with overlapping problems. Most commonly, pelvic health concerns are related to trouble with the bladder, bowels, or sexual health issues. Pelvic Health therapy can be profoundly helpful in resolving these uncomfortable issues.

Bladder Health

Do any of these sound familiar? 

  • I sometimes leak when I sneeze, jump, or simply see a toilet. 

  • I change my fitness routine based on fear of leakage. 

  • I am often struck by a sudden urge to pee, or have to go every single hour. 

  • I am bothered by a frequent burn, pressure, or discomfort in my bladder.

  • I was told that my bladder issues are “just what happens” at a certain age or after chilling children. 

With bladder issues,  it’s not always about kegels, and it’s certainly not  something you have to live with.  Pelvic Health is a first-line of treatment for leakage, painful bladder syndrome (PBS), and Interstitial Cystitis (IC). 

We help you find the WHY behind your symptoms so you can regain control of your bladder and get back to what you love with confidence. Some of our most common treatments for bladder issues include: bladder journals, bladder retraining, strengthening the pelvic floor, hips, and abdominal core muscles, soft tissue mobilization, stretching and releasing tension, and biofeedback or ultrasound imaging.

Bowel Health

Can you relate?

  • I often have hard, painful or incomplete bowel movements. 

  • Hemorrhoids bother me on a regular basis. 

  • I sometimes notice smearing or bowel leakage. 

  • I only go 1-2 times/week.

  •  I have “IBS” and  feel like my body swings from rabbit pellets to diarrhea. 

  • Mirilax is part of my daily routine.

Bowel issues are often a sign of pelvic floor problems. Our therapists have a toolbox full of strategies to help get your body back on track. We will help figure out the root cause of your bowel issues, and start treatment immediately so that this piece of the pelvic health puzzle is not holding you back.

Some of our most common treatments for bowel issues include: pelvic floor/anal sphincter relaxation training, hip and back mobility and stretching, abdominal massage, lifestyle modifications, biofeedback or ultrasound imaging, and toilet positioning, timing, and technique.

Sexual Health

In the Pelvic Health field, we see sexual health as an important part of your overall wellness because it relates closely to your physical, emotional, and social wellbeing. Thankfully, our providers are skilled at asking the right questions, and making what can be an uncomfortable conversation easy to discuss. Would you check any of these boxes?  

  • I have low libido, or difficulty with arousal. 

  • I often have pain or discomfort with penetrative intimacy. 

  • I suffer with pain in the genitals. 

  • Orgasms are uncomfortable or difficult to achieve.

  • I have a hard time discussing these issues with my partner or knowing where to start. 

Once we uncover the root of the problems and discuss treatment options, we’ll get straight to work and give you home programming to progress between visits. Some of our most common treatments for sexual health issues include: pelvic floor relaxation training, pelvic wand or dilator training, soft tissue mobilization, biofeedback or ultrasound imaging, counseling on optimal lubricants and strategies, hip and back mobility and stretching, and more.
