Pelvic Pain

Whole-body, personalized care designed to restore comfort and confidence

Pelvic pain refers to discomfort or pain that occurs in the lower abdominal area, within the region of the pelvis. It can affect both men and women, but it is more commonly reported by women due to the complex structures in the pelvic area, including the reproductive organs, urinary and digestive systems, and the pelvic floor muscles.

Symptoms That Could Indicate Pelvic Floor Dysfunction:

Many people don’t realize these symptoms can be connected to the pelvic floor:

    • Pain with sitting
    • Burning, sharp, or aching pain in the pelvis
    • Genital, rectal, or vaginal pain
    • Pain during or after intercourse

    • Pressure or heaviness in the pelvis
    • Difficulty standing, walking, or exercising without discomfort

How Pelvic Floor PT Helps:

Your treatment may include:

    • Internal and external manual therapy to release tight pelvic floor muscles
    • Visceral mobilization to address organ tension around the bladder, uterus, or bowels
    • Nervous system reprogramming for pain hypersensitivity
    • Dry needling to release stubborn trigger points
    • Scar tissue mobilization (C-section, episiotomy, abdominal surgery)
    • Postural and movement retraining
    • Strengthening or relaxation exercises depending on your needs
    • Education on bladder/bowel habits
    • Pain-free strategies for intimacy and daily activities
