Have you never been pregnant but find that the bathroom controls your life?

Are you noticing that you’ve had more urinary urgency?

Have you recently had pelvic surgery (prostatectomy, hysterectomy, etc) and want to minimize other problems from arising?

Have you had chronic back pain, hip pain, or other orthopedic problems that haven’t been effectively addressed with traditional pelvic floor therapy?

We are experts at getting to the root of the problem.

There can be several reasons why someone may be experiencing symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction. Pelvic floor problems are not exclusive to women nor are they exclusive to pregnancy/delivery. Symptoms may arise because the muscles are too tight causing the person to not relax fully, maybe digestive in nature, due to surgeries or even physical or emotional traumas can cause symptoms to arise.

Some of the other, non-pregnancy-related symptoms that are commonly addressed with pelvic health pelvic floor therapy include the following:

• Abdominal pain

• Coccyx pain (coccydynia)

• Constipation

• Interstitial Cystitis

• Irritable Bowel Syndrome

• Pain or weakness following cancer treatments for pelvic organs (ovarian, cervical, prostate, bowel, bladder, etc)

• Painful intercourse (dyspareunia)

• Pelvic organ prolapse (bladder, rectum, etc)

• Pudendal neuralgia

• Rectal pain (levator ani syndrome, proctalgia fugax)

• Symphysis pubis dysfunction

• Urinary / Fecal incontinence

• Urinary / Fecal frequency and urgency

• Vaginal pain (vulvodynia, vaginismus, etc)

Often cases of chronic low back or hip pain that haven’t responded well to traditional pelvic floor therapy will make great gains with our treatment approaches. To most effectively address these symptoms, the pelvic floor and associated structures must be considered as well.
