Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy
Here is a list of some common women's health issues we treat for Physical Therapy:
-Postpartum including Diastasis Recti
-Urinary Incontinence:
- Stress incontinence- leaking urine with sneezing, laughing, coughing, jumping or exercise.
- Urge incontinence- leaking urine when you have strong, sudden need to urinate (for example, being unable to "hold it" when you really have to go to the bathroom, when you hear running water, a key in the door, etc)
-Pelvic organ prolapse
-Pelvic pain, including pain with intercourse, gynecological exams, or tampon use
-Vaginismus, vulvodynia
-Constipation
What should I expect for my first visit of pelvic floor Physical Therapy?
A Pelvic floor Physical Therapy initial evaluation is similar to an orthopedic evaluation. It includes discussing your issue and then assessing trunk and lower extremity range of motion, flexibility, strength, and more. Depending on the particular condition, an internal assessment of the pelvic floor musculature may be performed if you feel comfortable. This muscle exam gives us important information about the strength, coordination, and tightness of your pelvic floor muscles. We then are able to design appropriate treatments and exercises that are a part of Physical Therapy and your home exercise program.

Postpartum Services
Mommy Tune Up
A Mommy Tune Up is recommended at 6 weeks postpartum or later (could be even years later). This is a great starting place to reconnect with your core. A Physical Therapist will screen for common postpartum issues such as Diastasis Recti (abdominal separation), check core strength, discuss any issues/concerns, go through some exercises, and make recommendations for your specific needs. This is a wellness service and is not covered by insurance. If you have pain, we recommend starting by scheduling a free Discovery session. Cost is $99.
Postpartum Pilates Class
This is a perfect class for new moms (once cleared to exercise)- as well as moms who feel they never reconnected with their core after childbirth. A combination of exercise and education- learn how to lift/hold your baby/child, what to do for c-section/abdominal scars, check for Diastasis Recti, & more. PLUS reconnect with your abdominals and pelvic floor using the Pilates equipment (and learn some exercises to practice at home). Class is limited to 4 people in order to provide personalized attention. This 2 week class series also includes a video and a resistance band to practice exercises at home. Cost is $99. Find class dates/times and sign up here.
