Pelvic Health

What is the pelvic floor?

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that sits within the pelvis and plays an important role in how your body moves and functions. These muscles help support your pelvic organs, contribute to bladder and bowel control, support sexual function, and work alongside your core and breathing muscles to provide stability during everyday movement and exercise. Like any other muscle group, the pelvic floor can become weak, tight, painful, or uncoordinated—and physical therapy can help restore its strength, mobility, and function.

Common pelvic health conditions:

  • Urinary stress and/or urge incontinence

  • Urinary urgency and/or frequency

  • Pelvic organ prolapse

  • Tailbone, low back or pelvic pain

  • Vaginismus

  • Constipation

  • Pain with intercourse, penetration, tampon use, or pelvic examinations

  • Pregnancy-related pelvic girdle, pubic symphysis, hip, or low-back pain

  • Diastasis recti and abdominal weakness

  • Postpartum recovery

Common symptoms associated with pelvic health conditions:

  • Leaking urine with coughing, sneezing, jumping, running, or exercise

  • A sudden or frequent urge to urinate or difficulty making it to the bathroom

  • Pelvic pressure, heaviness, or a sensation of bulging

  • Pelvic, vaginal, vulvar, tailbone, or lower abdominal pain

  • Pain with intercourse, tampon use, or pelvic exams

  • Difficulty emptying your bladder or bowels

  • Constipation or frequent straining with bowel movements

  • Bowel leakage or difficulty controlling gas

  • Abdominal separation or difficulty reconnecting with your core

  • Pain or difficulty returning to exercise, running, or other activities

  • Pregnancy-related pelvic, hip, low-back, or pubic bone pain
