What We Treat

Pregnancy and Postpartum

The pelvic floor plays a critical role in supporting your body and your baby during pregnancy. We help mothers during all stages of their pregnancy maintain a healthy pelvic floor as well as restore balance to their bodies postpartum. For a more in-depth dive into pre- and post-natal pelvic floor PT, check out our blog post here!

Prenatal Care

Physical therapy can be incredibly beneficial for prenatal care, helping pregnant individuals manage discomfort, improve mobility, and prepare their bodies for childbirth. Pregnant women may experience pain in various areas such as the hip or low back (see Orthopedic Conditions for more on specific regions of pain). 

Therapy techniques for prenatal care include pelvic floor strengthening, core strengthening, posture correction, stretching, and pain management. In addition, we provide education labor and can also create a personalized exercise program for your prenatal needs. 

Postnatal Care

Physical therapy is also highly beneficial for postnatal care, which includes helping new mothers recover from childbirth, addressing any physical issues that may have arisen during pregnancy, and regaining strength and mobility. 

Therapy techniques for postnatal care include pelvic floor rehabilitation, core strengthening, musculoskeletal pain management through manual therapy, scar tissue restriction, relaxation techniques for stress reduction, and breastfeeding support. We can also create personalized return-to-exercise programs for clients based on individual needs. 

Diastasis Recti

Diastasis recti is a condition where the abdominal muscles separate, typically due to pregnancy or excessive abdominal pressure. This separation can lead to a bulge in the middle of the abdomen and may cause lower back pain or difficulty with activities that require core strength. 

Treatment often involves core muscle strengthening, specifically targeting the transverse abdominis, pelvic floor muscles, and obliques.  

Pelvic Pain

We treat a wide variety of pelvic pain conditions with varying triggers, causes, and levels of complexity. This includes but is not limited to:

  • Pain with intercourse (dyspareunia)

  • Bladder pain

  • Pudendal neuralgia

  • Endometriosis

  • Prostatitis

  • PGAD

  • IC

Treatment for pelvic pain conditions vary on a case-by-case basis, and can include manual therapy, relaxation techniques, dry needling, and posture correction. 

Orthopedic Conditions

Orthopedic therapy broadly encompasses any discomfort or pain associated with the musculoskeletal system. Here at Pelvic Therapy & Fitness, our expertise in pelvic floor therapy naturally includes musculoskeletal conditions of the pelvic area and interconnected areas. This includes but is not limited to: 

  • Low back pain

Treatment for orthopedic conditions usually consist of manual therapy, relaxation techniques, muscle strengthening and functional training, posture correction, and the development of a home exercise plan. 

Bowel and Bladder

The bowel and bladder are both supported by the pelvic floor. Common bowel and bladder issues are often affected by an individual’s pelvic floor health, a factor that is often overlooked. Bowel and bladder conditions we treat include but are not limited to: 

  • Frequent urinary tract infections (UTIs)

  • Urinary incontinence

  • Stress incontinence

  • Fecal incontinence

  • Constipation

We can help improve the regulation of bowel and bladder conditions through a variety of techniques. Treatment usually consists of pelvic floor muscle strengthening and dietary changes.

Treatment for these conditions will vary based on the condition. but can include pelvic floor muscle training, manual therapy, and posture training.
