Everyone has a pelvis, so just about every BODY could benefit from better pelvic health. Your pelvis serves many important functions. As the center connection point between your upper and lower body, it is core to the way you move, breathe, and regulate normal bodily processes like voiding urine. The pelvis also protects your delicate organs, while anchoring the powerful muscles of your hips, thighs, and abdomen during physical activities. But what happens when your pelvis gets in your way of enjoying life?
Are you experiencing any type of incontinence? Bowel and bladder function can be affected by many factors such as diet, lifestyle, behavior, psychological factors, and muscle functioning. Dysfunction in the pelvic floor can lead to and contribute to bowel and bladder issues. Many diagnoses are treatable through pelvic health physical therapy. LEARN MORE

Following surgical procedures, the body is focused on healing. However, the surgical process can leave you with tissue and musculoskeletal changes that impact daily function. Your body adapts in the short term, but for sustainable movement in the long-term, those musculoskeletal changes need to be addressed. Aftercare for gender affirming surgeries should include physical therapy to optimize healing, address post-operative scars and tissue changes, and restore safe, pain-free movement. LEARN MORE

Pelvic floor physical therapy treatment has primarily been associated with treatment for women, especially since the pelvic floor is directly impacted from childbearing and birthing. However, men can also benefit from pelvic health physical therapy for various conditions like pelvic floor dysfunction, prostate problems, and sexual dysfunction. LEARN MORE
The pelvis serves many vital functions for kids. As the center connection point between the child's upper and lower body, it is core to how they move, breathe, and regulate normal bodily processes like bowel and bladder function. Most children by the age of 2 years old are ready to be potty trained. In some cases though, the child may not be ready and continue to leak urine throughout the day or night. Urinary incontinence could be normal for their age but there does come a time when children should be dry during both the day and night. A pediatric pelvic health specialist can determine why they're still having accidents and how to help. LEARN MORE
Just like any other muscle in the body, the pelvic floor muscles can succumb to injury and dysfunction. The pelvic floor is made up of muscles and fascia that form a sling spanning across the bottom of your pelvis. It consists of 14 muscles in people with female genitalia, and 12 muscles in people with male genitalia. All of these muscles, in combination with other “core” muscles, must be functioning properly to ensure a healthy pelvis. Together they support your organs, reinforce upright posture, and help control bladder, bowel, and sexual function. LEARN MORE

During pregnancy, the body goes through many musculoskeletal and hormonal changes that can alter core and pelvic floor function. These changes help support the growing baby, but they can also lead to pain and dysfunction for the mom. Studies show that about 50% of women will experience lower back pain during their pregnancy and this pain can continue to persist postpartum. Due to the increased pressure on the pelvic floor, it is also common to have difficulty with bowel, bladder, and sexual function. LEARN MORE

One of the domains of pelvic health is sexual health. In PT, we consider the role of the pelvic floor muscles as part of the greater system of the body and how they play into the sexual response cycle. Many sexual dysfunctions have roots in pelvic floor dysfunction. The pelvic floor moves and changes depending on where the body is in the sexual response cycle. LEARN MORE
