PelVic Health
Physical Therapy
Pelvic Health Physical Therapy is a specialized area of physical therapy that focuses on the assessment and treatment of conditions that affect the pelvic floor muscles, which are a group of muscles that support the pelvic organs including the bladder, uterus, and rectum. Conditions that can be treated with pelvic health physical therapy include pelvic pain, urinary and fecal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, sexual dysfunction, and pregnancy-related musculoskeletal issues. During a pelvic health physical therapy session, the therapist will evaluate the patient's pelvic floor function and develop an individualized treatment plan that may include exercises, manual therapy, and education on bladder and bowel habits. Pelvic health physical therapy can improve quality of life for individuals with pelvic floor dysfunction and can be an effective alternative to surgery or medication.
