What Is Pelvic Health Physical Therapy?

It is a specialized branch of physical therapy focused on treating pain of the pelvic region, including vaginal, vulvar, perineal, and rectal pain, as well as the pain of abdomen, low back, and hips. It also helps with conditions related to bladder, bowel, and reproductive health.

Why a Mind-Body Approach Matters

There are certain areas of the body where we store tension and emotion, such as the shoulders and the jaw. The pelvic and abdominal regions are major areas that tend to get overlooked. Cultivating an understanding of this relationship and learning tools to alleviate these stored tensions can help to facilitate greater healing and relief.
