Women’s Health & Pelvic Floor Therapy
Pelvic Health Is Connected to Your Core, Joints, Spine, and Movement
The pelvic floor does not work alone. It is part of a larger system that includes your core, hips, low back, spine, and breathing mechanics.
When the pelvic floor is weak, tight, painful, or not coordinating well, it can contribute to symptoms throughout the body. You may notice bladder or bowel issues, pelvic pain, hip pain, low back pain, tailbone pain, pelvic pressure, ab separation, or difficulty returning to exercise, work, sport, or daily activity after pregnancy, childbirth, surgery, or menopause.
Our background in joint, spine, and sport rehab empowers us to look at the whole person, not just one symptom.
