Understanding & Caring for Your Pelvic Floor

What is Pelvic Floor Therapy?

  • Pelvic floor therapy is a specialized approach to strengthening, relaxing, and improving the function of the muscles that support your bladder, uterus, prostate, and bowels.
  • It can involve guided exercises, breath work, posture training, and education on body mechanics.
  • The therapy can help address pain, incontinence, prolapse, and other pelvic floor dysfunctions.

Why the Pelvic Floor Matters

  • Your pelvic floor muscles play a key role in core stability, bladder and bowel control, sexual health, and overall posture.
  • A weak, tight, or uncoordinated pelvic floor can lead to issues that affect daily life — from discomfort to decreased confidence in movement.
