Symptoms pelvic floor therapy may help with
Pelvic floor concerns can show up in many ways. Some are obvious; some are subtle. None are too small to ask about.
- Leaking with coughing, laughing, lifting, or running
- Frequent urgency or trips to the bathroom
- Pain or pressure in the low back, hips, or pelvis
- Pelvic organ prolapse symptoms
- Pregnancy or postpartum recovery, including diastasis recti
- Pain with intercourse or with daily activity
What a first visit looks like
Your first visit is a quiet, private conversation. Your therapist will ask about your symptoms, history, and goals. We move at your pace — nothing happens without your understanding and consent.
Assessment may include posture, breathing patterns, core and hip strength, and — when you're ready — a private internal or external pelvic floor assessment to better understand the muscles involved. You're always in control of what happens.
What care often includes
A care plan may include breathing and core retraining, gentle hands-on techniques, posture and movement coaching, and exercises to do at home. Many patients are surprised by how much progress comes from small, consistent habits.
A note on privacy
These topics are personal. Treatment rooms are private. Conversations stay between you and your therapist. Bringing a support person is welcome.
“Pelvic floor symptoms are common. They're also rarely talked about. Care should be private, respectful, and never rushed.”

Common questions
Do I need a referral?
Often, no — direct access applies in most situations. Our team can confirm what's right for your case.
Is the assessment always internal?
No. Internal assessment can be helpful, but it isn't required. Many patients make significant progress with external work alone.
I'm postpartum — when can I start?
Many people benefit from a check-in around 6 weeks postpartum, but we welcome questions earlier if you're concerned.
