When most people think about their health, they picture strong muscles, healthy eating, and regular exercise. But one vital part of the body often goes unnoticed: the pelvic floor. These small but powerful muscles support your bladder, bowel, reproductive organs, and core stability. When they aren’t functioning properly, it can affect everything from your posture to your confidence.
That’s where pelvic floor therapy comes in.
What Is Pelvic Floor Therapy?
Pelvic floor therapy is a specialized form of occupational or physical therapy that focuses on assessing and treating the muscles, nerves, and connective tissues of the pelvic region. Like any other muscle group, the pelvic floor can become too tight, too weak, or uncoordinated—and therapy helps restore balance and function.
Who Can Benefit from Pelvic Floor Therapy?
Pelvic floor therapy isn’t just for postpartum women, it can help people of all ages and genders. Common reasons to seek support include:
Bladder concerns: Leakage, urgency, or incomplete emptying
Bowel concerns: Constipation or straining
Pelvic pain: During exercise, daily activities, or intimacy
Pregnancy & postpartum changes: Addressing pelvic floor changes related to pregnancy and supporting recovery after birth.
Core instability or back/hip pain: Often linked to pelvic floor dysfunction
How Therapy Helps
Through gentle, evidence-based techniques, pelvic floor therapy can help you:
Improve muscle relaxation, strength and coordination
Reduce pain and discomfort
Restore bladder and bowel control
Feel more confident in daily life and physical activities
Each treatment plan is individualized—meaning your therapy is tailored to your body, goals, and lifestyle.
Why Whole-Body Wellness Matters
Your pelvic floor doesn’t work in isolation. It connects to your breath, posture, and nervous system. That’s why pelvic floor therapy often includes strategies for relaxation, movement, and overall wellness—not just exercises.

Living with pelvic floor symptoms doesn’t have to be your “new normal.” With the right care, comfort and confidence are possible.
