Pelvic Health

Pelvic pain is felt in the lower abdomen (stomach area), pelvis, or perineum (the area between the rectum and the scrotum or vagina). How to know if your pelvic floor muscles are working optimally?

Do you pee when you cough or jump? Do you have pain with intercourse? Do you feel pain when getting out of bed, or walking?  Pelvic and groin pain can be devastating, inhibiting mothers from caring for their babies, limiting athletes from excelling in sports. Physical Therapy treatments correct underlying instability around the pelvis and restore tissue strength and integrity.

  • 50% of women who have given birth naturally will experience pelvic health problems.
  • 52% of female athletes experience incontinence.
  • 50% of men will deal with prostate problems at some point in their lives.
