FAQ
What is Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy?
Pelvic floor physical therapy (PFPT) is physical therapy specifically for the pelvic floor muscles, organs, tissues, ligaments, and structure. As pelvic floor physical therapists, we use a combination of hands-on, manual techniques, therapeutic exercises, patient education, and behavioral changes to improve pelvic health. Our techniques are beneficial for dysfunctions in the lower back, abdomen, chest, hips, and more.
Who Can Benefit From Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy?
Anyone at any age can benefit from PFPT. Our services are designed specifically for those before, during, and after pregnancy, postpartum, pre- and post-surgery (such as hysterectomy or gender-affirming surgery), urinary leakage, constipation, pelvic pain, erectile dysfunctions, and so much more.
