Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy
What is Pelvic Floor Therapy?
Pregnancy and birth can be hard on women’s bottoms – specifically women’s pelvic floor – the uterus, urethra, vagina, anus, and all the muscles that support those important organs. Pressure on those areas during pregnancy and birth can lead to problems for new mothers. The pelvic floor refers to the muscles that support your reproductive and urinary tract. Pelvic floor physical therapy is a treatment to help address pain, weakness, and dysfunction in the pelvic floor muscles.
