Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy
​​Pelvic health is the foundation of strength, stability, and overall wellness. From pregnancy to postpartum recovery, through the busy middle years, and into menopause, a woman’s body experiences unique changes that affect the way she feels, moves, and lives. Issues like core weakness, diastasis recti, leakage, pelvic pain, or prolapse are more common than many realize—but they are not problems women have to live with. At F.I.T. PT, we believe every woman deserves support, solutions, and individualized care designed to restore confidence and quality of life. That’s why we’re proud to offer Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy to help women thrive at every stage.
Why Pelvic Floor Therapy Matters
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that support the bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs. These muscles also play a key role in posture, breathing, and core stability. When weakened, tight, or injured, women may experience:
​
-
Core weakness
-
Pelvic pain or discomfort
-
Leakage or incontinence
-
Pelvic organ prolapse
-
Low back pain
These challenges are common but often underdiagnosed or dismissed. Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy helps restore function, strength, and comfort so women can move confidently through life.
Pregnancy & Postpartum Recovery
Pregnancy places significant demands on the body. As the uterus grows, abdominal and pelvic floor muscles stretch and weaken, posture shifts, and hormones increase joint laxity. After childbirth, healing varies depending on delivery type—whether from perineal trauma, scar tissue, or core weakness after a C-section.
Common postpartum concerns include:
-
Core and pelvic floor weakness
-
Diastasis recti
-
Scar tissue limiting mobility
-
Urinary leakage or urgency
-
Pain with movement or intimacy
How Pelvic Floor Therapy Helps:
-
Targeted core and pelvic floor strengthening
-
Safe movement strategies for daily tasks and baby care
-
Scar tissue mobilization to restore comfort and flexibility
-
Breathing and posture training for stability
-
Muscle tension release and relaxation techniques
Therapy helps women restore strength, regain confidence, and return to motherhood feeling supported and empowered.
Pelvic Pain & Sexual Dysfunction
Pelvic pain can result from tight or overactive muscles, scar tissue, endometriosis, surgery, childbirth, or hormonal changes. Symptoms may include painful periods, discomfort with intimacy, or persistent pelvic, hip, or low back tension.
​
How Pelvic Floor Therapy Helps:
-
Gentle internal and external muscle release
-
Scar tissue mobilization
-
Circulation and mobility improvement
-
Breathing and relaxation strategies
-
Education on movement and posture habits that may contribute to pain
The goal is not just to reduce pain, but to restore comfort and confidence in daily life and intimacy.

​
Urinary & Bowel Incontinence
Incontinence occurs when the pelvic floor muscles are too weak or not coordinating well with the bladder and core.
​
Common causes include:
-
Childbirth
-
Aging or hormonal changes
-
High-impact exercise or chronic straining
-
Pelvic surgery or trauma
Types of Incontinence:
-
Stress Incontinence: Leakage with coughing, sneezing, exercise
-
Urgency Incontinence: Sudden, strong urges
-
Mixed Incontinence: A combination of both
How Pelvic Floor Therapy Helps:
-
Customized strengthening programs
-
Bladder and pelvic floor coordination training
-
Urge suppression strategies
-
Education on hydration, bowel habits, and toileting posture
Many women regain control, confidence, and freedom through targeted pelvic floor care.
Peri- & Post-Menopausal Care
During peri- and post-menopause, declining estrogen affects pelvic tissues. Muscles may weaken, tissues lose elasticity, and dryness or discomfort can increase.
​
Common concerns include:
-
Vaginal dryness
-
Pelvic organ prolapse
-
Urinary leakage or urgency
-
Reduced core stability
How Pelvic Floor Therapy Helps:
-
Strengthening to support pelvic organs
-
Techniques to improve circulation and tissue health
-
Strategies to reduce prolapse symptoms
-
Lifestyle guidance for long-term pelvic wellness
These changes are normal—but they do not have to limit your comfort or activity.

When left untreated, mild symptoms can progress into more serious concerns, including:
-
Increased urinary or bowel incontinence
