Most people donât realize their symptoms are actually signals. If youâre dealing with any of the signs below, pelvic floor therapy could be exactly what you need.
Leakage (running, jumping, laughing, sneezing, coughing)
Common, but not something you have to accept. It often comes from poor coordination between breathing, core, and pelvic floor, and itâs usually very treatable.
Urgency or frequency
If you feel like you have to go RIGHT NOW, or youâre going way more often than you want, your pelvic floor may be overactive, underactive, or just not syncing with your bladder signals. Therapy can help calm urgency and improve control.
Heaviness or pressure in the pelvis
That âdraggingâ feeling, pressure, or sensation like something is sitting low can be a sign of prolapse or pelvic floor support issues. PT focuses on strength, coordination, and strategies to reduce symptoms during daily life and workouts.
Pain with pe*******on
Pain can show up from tight muscles, sensitive tissues, scar tension, or nervous system guarding. Pelvic floor therapy works on mobility, relaxation, desensitization, and building comfort, at your pace.
Constipation or trouble emptying
Poor pelvic floor coordination can make bowel movements harder, even with good hydration and fiber. Therapy helps improve mechanics, coordination, and easing tension.
Pregnancy or postpartum
Pelvic floor therapy can help you prep for birth (breathing, pushing mechanics, hip and pelvic mobility, pressure management) and recover postpartum (core rebuild, leaking, pain, scar support, return to exercise).
Menâs symptoms: leakage, pelvic pain, erectile dysfunction
Pelvic floor PT isnât just for women. It can support bladder control, pelvic pain, and s*xual function by improving circulation, mobility, muscle coordination, and reducing tension patterns.
Children: bedwetting or bowel issues
Bedwetting, constipation, or accidents can be linked to pelvic floor coordination. Start with your pediatrician, pelvic floor PT can be part of the support plan.
