Physical Therapy Encino Balboa

What is Pelvic Floor Therapy?

pelvic floor therapy is a specialized form of physical therapy that focuses on the muscles, nerves, and connective tissues of the pelvic floor. This complex system plays a vital role in supporting your bladder, bowels, and reproductive organs, as well as maintaining proper posture, balance, and overall core stability.

Through a combination of manual therapy, exercise, and education, our expert physical therapists will help you develop a stronger, more resilient pelvic floor, alleviating symptoms of incontinence, pelvic pain, and other related issues.
