Women’s Health
Women's health physical therapy focuses on addressing pelvic floor dysfunction, aiding in the management of conditions such as urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, and prenatal/postpartum concerns, promoting improved pelvic health and overall well-being for women of all ages and life stages.
Pelvic floor muscles play a large role in core control and everyday function. The pelvic floor is composed of three layers of muscle tissue forming at the bottom of your pelvic bowl (your pubic bone to tailbone and your sit bones). Your pelvic floor acts to stabilize your hips and pelvis and control intra-abdominal pressure for core stabilization and to control urine flow, sexual function, and so much more. Dysfunction is incredibly individual and can be present due to a less active pelvic floor secondary to childbirth or trauma, or a tight or overactive pelvic floor. Symptoms may include urinary leakage, pain with sex, or descending of pelvic organs. Pelvic floor treatment is extremely individualized and may include internal pelvic floor muscle release, postural realignment, education on optimal breathing mechanics, and lifestyle modifications.
