Physical Therapy for Pelvic Floor Health: A Stronger Foundation for Pain-Free Living
Brought to you by the team at Sport Ortho Urgent Care
When we talk about physical therapy, most people think of rehabbing a knee injury, treating back pain, or recovering after surgery. But there’s one incredibly important — and often overlooked — area where physical therapy can be life-changing: the pelvic floor.
At Sport Ortho Urgent Care, we understand that true musculoskeletal health starts from the center. That’s why we offer specialized physical therapy focused on pelvic floor rehabilitation to support strength, stability, and long-term relief.
What Is the Pelvic Floor?
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles located at the base of your pelvis. These muscles play a key role in:
- Supporting your bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs
- Maintaining posture and core stability
- Controlling urinary and bowel function
- Sexual health and comfort
- Reducing back, hip, and pelvic pain
When these muscles are too weak, too tight, or not working properly, you may experience pelvic floor dysfunction.
Signs You May Need Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy
Pelvic floor issues affect both men and women — and they’re more common than you think. You might benefit from pelvic floor PT if you’re experiencing:
- Urinary urgency, frequency, or leakage
- Pain during sex or pelvic exams
- Constipation or difficulty emptying the bowels
- Lower back, hip, or tailbone pain
- A feeling of pressure or heaviness in the pelvic area
- Difficulty with core stability or posture
- Pain with running, jumping, or lifting
How Pelvic Floor PT Works
Our pelvic floor physical therapists at Sport Ortho Urgent Care are specially trained to assess and treat dysfunction in this area. Your therapy may include:
- Targeted strengthening or relaxation exercises
- Manual therapy to release tight pelvic floor muscles
- Biofeedback training to improve coordination
- Posture and breathing techniques
- Education and lifestyle strategies to support daily function
- Core and hip stabilization work for long-term support
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. Your plan will be personalized to your needs, your comfort level, and your goals — whether that’s reducing pain, improving bladder control, or getting back to your workouts.
Why Orthopedic Patients Need Pelvic Floor Care Too
Many patients who come to us for hip, back, or core issues don’t realize the pelvic floor is playing a role. Pelvic floor dysfunction can be the missing link in treating chronic pain or recurring injuries.
By combining orthopedic expertise with pelvic floor rehab, we can help you achieve deeper, longer-lasting relief — and return to full function with confidence.
