About this treatment
What this treatment is designed to do
Pelvic floor physical therapy is specialized treatment focusing on the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues that support the pelvic organs (bladder, uterus/prostate, rectum). These muscles are critical for continence, sexual function, core stability, and pain-free movement. When they become weak, tight, or dysfunctional, a range of debilitating symptoms can occur.
Certified pelvic floor physical therapists use internal and external manual therapy, biofeedback, therapeutic exercises, and education to restore optimal function. Treatment may include gentle internal vaginal or rectal muscle release, trigger point therapy, strengthening exercises (beyond simple Kegels), breathing techniques, and postural correction.
Pelvic floor therapy is evidence-based treatment for urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, pelvic pain, painful intercourse, postpartum recovery, chronic prostatitis, and pre/post-surgical support. It's often more effective than surgery for many pelvic floor disorders and addresses root causes rather than just symptoms.

Evidence & safety
What to know before committing
Pelvic floor physical therapy has strong research support and is recommended as first-line treatment for stress urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and various pelvic pain conditions. It's highly effective and non-invasive. When performed by certified pelvic floor physical therapists (typically designated as WHC—Women's Health Certified), it's very safe. Treatment requires patient consent and comfort at all times.
