The Effectiveness of Pelvic Floor Therapy

Research shows that pelvic floor physical therapy is a very effective treatment for various types of pelvic dysfunction including chronic pelvic pain, vulvodynia, dyspareunia (painful intercourse), and hypertonic (tight) pelvic floor muscles, pelvic organ prolapse, pregnancy and so many more!

Studies show significant improvement in pain levels and quality of life with the use of pelvic floor physical therapy techniques like manual therapy and targeted exercises.

As a pelvic floor physical therapist, I strongly advocate for early and proactive care. Establishing a relationship with a skilled pelvic floor PT before symptoms become severe can help mitigate long-term complications and improve quality of life.
