Urinary leakage or Urgency
Urinary leakage or urgency can stem from pelvic floor weakness, nerve irritation, or inflammation.
If urinary leakage or urgency remains unaddressed, it can lead to pelvic pain, core weakness, hip instability, and lower back issues.
Pelvic Pain & Pressure
Pelvic pain and pressure can stem from muscle tension, nerve irritation, or organ dysfunction.
We address pelvic pain through targeted pelvic floor therapy, postural correction, and nerve release techniques to restore comfort and core balance.
Pain with Intimacy
Pain with intimacy can result from pelvic floor tension, nerve sensitivity, or hormonal changes.
We use gentle manual therapy, desensitization techniques, and nervous system support to reduce pain, rebuild pelvic function, and restore confidence in intimacy.
Constipation or Bowel Dysfunction
Constipation or bowel dysfunction can be caused by pelvic floor issues, gut imbalance, or nerve disruption.
We combine pelvic floor retraining, gut health support, and nervous system regulation to restore healthy, pain-free bowel function naturally.
Pregnancy-Related Discomfort
Pregnancy-related discomfort can arise from postural shifts, ligament laxity, and pelvic floor strain.
We offer prenatal therapy focused on relieving back, hip, and pelvic pain, optimizing pelvic alignment, and preparing your body for an empowered birth.
Postpartum recovery
Postpartum recovery involves healing of muscles, ligaments, and connective tissue strained during pregnancy and birth.
We guide postpartum healing with gentle core and pelvic floor restoration, scar tissue mobilization, and safe return-to-exercise programs.
Diastasis recti
Diastasis recti is a separation of the abdominal muscles that can weaken core strength and stability.
We provide specialized core retraining that targets deep abdominal layers, supports healing, and rebuilds strength without increasing pressure or strain.
Prolapse
Prolapse occurs when pelvic organs drop due to weakened muscles and connective tissue support.
We strengthen the pelvic floor, improve breath and core coordination, and teach daily strategies to lift and support your organs naturally.
Fertility Concerns
Fertility challenges can be linked to hormone imbalance, inflammation, stress, or pelvic dysfunction.
We support fertility naturally by optimizing pelvic blood flow, regulating hormones, reducing inflammation, and addressing stress patterns that impact conception.
Pillars of Pelvic Health
Treating the 'Why'
Our approach includes looking at what the ‘why’ behind your pain is, not just what your symptoms show. We find out what is causing your pain and treat that.
Thorough History & Exam
We conduct a thorough history and mechanical exam so that we can assess your movement and analyze where the body is showing deficits. We use that feedback to design a treatment protocol specialized to your needs.
1-2 Exercise Home program
To treat the true cause of your pain, we provide 1-2 exercises for your home program and assess how the body responds. We then tailor and adjust your program according to your needs and to maximize your healing.
Treating the Whole Person
Our physical therapy approach treats the whole person by providing movement, nutrition education, and microcurrent services.
MULTI-METHOD APPROACH
We are trained in and incorporate multiple methods of treatment to optimize your healing and improve your outcomes.
QUICKER RESULTS
Our evidence-based approach to physical therapy leads to better outcomes and fewer visits.
