What is pelvic floor Physical Therapy?

pelvic floor physical therapy is a specialized form of physical therapy that focuses on the muscles, nerves, and joints of the pelvic floor. Our expert physical therapists will work with you to identify the underlying causes of your pelvic floor dysfunction and create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your unique needs and goals.

Through a combination of manual therapy, exercise, and education, our physical therapists will help you strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, improve your posture, and enhance your overall core stability. We'll also teach you techniques to manage pain, improve bladder and bowel function, and promote relaxation and stress reduction.

The Benefits of Integrative and Holistic Approaches

At Ohio Health Physical Therapy, we believe that true healing occurs when we address the whole person – body, mind, and spirit. That's why we incorporate integrative and holistic approaches into our treatment plans.
