Pelvic pain is a life-altering condition that you do not have to continue to live with and in which you can find long-lasting relief through pelvic floor physical therapy. Suffering from pelvic pain can significantly affect your mental and emotional well-being, in addition to restricting you from participating in your regular activities of daily life. Pelvic pain can present in various forms whether chronic, post-surgical, or from other types of pelvic conditions such as pudendal neuralgia, endometriosis, and vaginismus.

​

Pelvic floor physical therapy can help to provide relief from pelvic pain in various ways. First and foremost, a thorough history must be taken in order to include all potential contributing life and health factors before a physical assessment is performed. Stress, anxiety, depression, and auto-immune conditions can all be significant contributors and exacerbate pelvic pain whatever the origin.

​

For the physical exam, your hip, spinal mobility and strength will be assessed as well as your nervous system. Your posture along with functional movements you perform everyday will also be assessed due to how significantly these can contribute to pelvic pain. Your pelvic floor will also be examined both externally and internally for localized assessment of the pelvic floor musculature, nerves, and blood vessels. These structures are the focal point of your pain and the reason why pelvic floor physical therapy is so successful in treating pelvic pain. 

​

All of these findings will bring together a comprehensive and specialized treatment plan designed for your specific needs to lead you on a path to a pain-free pelvis and a pain-free life.
