Discover Pelvic Floor Therapy
Pelvic floor therapy is specialized physical therapy for the muscles that support your bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs. When those muscles are too weak, too tight, or not coordinating well, the result can be leakage, pelvic pain, or discomfort during everyday activities or intimacy. A trained pelvic floor therapist can assess what’s happening and guide you through targeted treatment to relieve symptoms and restore control, privately and one-on-one.
At Hands of Hope, our pelvic floor therapists have completed specialized assessment and treatment training in pelvic health, and every session takes place in a private room with your therapist.
Conditions That Pelvic Floor Therapy Treats
Our physical therapists at Hands of Hope treat various pelvic conditions. Our techniques and treatments will depend on the symptoms and condition you’ve been experiencing.
Conditions that can be improved with pelvic floor physical therapy include:
Bowel and bladder control problems, such as leakage or increased urgency. Symptoms can also be mild or severe, ranging from a slight loss of urine after sneezing, coughing, or laughing to full urinary control and/or constipation.
Pelvic pain, bladder pain, uncomfortable pressure, and a frequent urge to urinate are all symptoms of IC.
Pain in the lower abdomen and pelvis, ranging from a sharp jab to a dull aching. Pain in the vaginal area and/or rectum is also possible.
Many women experience pain or discomfort during pregnancy, as well as urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, and separation of the abdominal muscles (diastasis recti).Â
Prolapse occurs when the pelvic organs drop from their normal position.
Pelvic floor symptoms can cause issues like reduced sexual arousal, infrequent orgasm, and dyspareunia (genital pain that occurs before, during, or after intercourse).
ED is when you cannot get or maintain an erection during intercourse. Pelvic dysfunction can cause ED; however, erectile dysfunction can stem from other factors and conditions.Â
By embracing an evidence-based approach to physical therapy, our patients experience relief from their symptoms and regain their quality of life. Our team knows how to help you find the results you need for long-term pelvic health.
What to Expect
We know this is a personal topic, so your first visit is a private, one-on-one conversation and assessment. Your therapist reviews your history and symptoms, answers your questions, and then builds a plan around your goals. Treatment typically includes:
- Pelvic floor exercises to strengthen or relax the muscles and improve coordination
- Biofeedback, using sensors to help retrain the muscles
- Bladder and bowel retraining programs
- Education and lifestyle changes (posture, habits, home exercises) to sustain your progress
The goal of recovery is to tackle your symptoms and use the most effective techniques to restore lost functions. At Hands of Hope, our mission is to guide you on the path to pelvic pain relief through a combination of innovative treatments, research-based practices, and personalized care. Our expert physical therapists will work closely with you to develop a tailored plan that addresses your unique needs and helps you regain control over your life.
