Pelvic floor therapy is currently self-pay
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that can be weak, overactive, poorly coordinated, or a combination. The pattern determines the treatment, which is why generic exercises often fail.
Care begins with a one-hour evaluation of pelvic floor strength, tone, and coordination, with your consent at every step. Treatment may include manual therapy, pelvic floor retraining, core integration, and a graded return to activity.
During pregnancy, therapy can address pain, prepare the pelvic floor for birth and support postpartum recovery.
After birth, therapy treats incontinence, prolapse, pain, and abdominal separation. There is no cutoff; symptoms years after delivery respond to treatment.
In perimenopause and after menopause, tissue changes can cause new or returning symptoms, including pain with sex. These remain treatable.
Return-to-exercise programming is part of treatment. Your therapist and the instructors at Embody Movement Studio work from the same plan.
