What is Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy?

Pelvic floor physical therapy focuses on the muscles and connective tissues at the base of the pelvis. These muscles support the bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs and play a key role in core stability. When they become weak, tight, or uncoordinated, people may experience urinary or bowel leakage, pelvic organ prolapse, pelvic pain, sexual discomfort, or reduced core strength. These issues can develop after childbirth, surgery, chronic constipation, hormonal changes, heavy lifting, or high-impact activity.

Pelvic floor dysfunction treatment and pelvic muscle therapy help restore muscle strength, mobility, and coordination. Treatment may include manual therapy, movement retraining, pelvic floor strengthening or relaxation work, breathing mechanics, and biofeedback.

Therapy supports both the general population and women before and after pregnancy, and it is also effective for men with pelvic pain or urinary issues.

Our pelvic floor rehab follows evidence-based guidance from groups such as ACOG and APTA to support safe improvement in bladder and bowel control, pelvic stability, and daily function.

What to Expect in Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy at Mustard Seeds Therapy

Pelvic floor physical therapy at Mustard Seeds Therapy begins with a clinical evaluation to understand how the pelvic floor muscles, abdominal wall, hips, and core are contributing to your symptoms. Your licensed
therapist reviews your medical history, childbirth or surgical history, daily habits, and any bladder, bowel, or pelvic pain concerns. This is followed by a movement assessment and, when appropriate, an internal or external pelvic floor examination to assess strength, tension, coordination, and muscle response.

Treatment is based on evidence-supported pelvic rehab methods. Your plan may include:

  • Manual therapy to address muscle tension, trigger points, scar tissue, or restricted connective tissue.
  • Pelvic floor muscle training, including strengthening, relaxation work, and coordination exercises.
  • Breathing and abdominal mechanics to improve pressure control and core stability.
  • Movement retraining to correct patterns affecting the pelvis, hips, or low back.
  • Biofeedback or guided awareness techniques to improve muscle control.
  • Education on bladder and bowel habits, activity modification, and strategies that reduce strain on the pelvic floor.

Therapy supports both the general population and individuals recovering from pregnancy, childbirth, surgery, or pelvic injury. It is also appropriate for men experiencing pelvic pain, urinary leakage, or post-prostatectomy weakness.

All care follows clinical recommendations from groups such as ACOG and APTA. Your therapist monitors progress at each session and adjusts your program based on muscle performance, symptom changes, and functional goals.

Why Pre & Postnatal Pelvic Floor Therapy Matters

During pregnancy, the pelvic floor muscles stretch to support the growing uterus, ligaments soften under hormones like relaxin, and increased body weight places added pressure on the pelvis. These changes can affect muscle coordination and strength, leading to urinary leakage, pelvic heaviness, or pain in the low back, hips, or pubic symphysis.

After childbirth, whether vaginal or cesarean, the pelvic floor and abdominal wall often show weakness or reduced coordination. Vaginal deliveries, especially those involving tearing, episiotomy, or instrument-assisted birth, can further affect muscle function. Many women notice prolapse symptoms, diastasis recti, difficulty returning to exercise, or sexual discomfort.

Pregnancy pelvic floor therapy and postpartum pelvic floor rehab support recovery by improving muscle activation, core stability, bladder control, and pelvic alignment. Therapy helps reduce leakage, rebuild strength, and guide a safe return to daily activity and exercise. Clinical research shows that pelvic floor muscle training lowers the rate of postpartum urinary incontinence and improves long-term pelvic health.

FAQs

Yes, pelvic floor therapy is safe during pregnancy for most women. Pregnancy pelvic floor therapy helps the muscles at the bottom of your pelvis stay strong and flexible. These muscles support your bladder, bowel, and uterus.

Therapy can reduce problems like urinary leakage, pelvic heaviness, and back or hip pain. A trained pelvic floor therapist will use gentle exercises and techniques that are safe for you and your baby.

Following pelvic floor rehab and pelvic muscle therapy guidelines makes sure the care is safe and effective. Always tell your therapist about your pregnancy stage and any health concerns before starting.

You can start postpartum pelvic floor rehab soon after childbirth, but the exact time depends on your birth and recovery. For many women, gentle pelvic floor therapy can begin a few days to a few weeks after a normal delivery, once your doctor says it is safe.

Postpartum pelvic floor rehab helps your pelvic muscles get stronger, reduces urinary leakage, improves core stability, and supports a safe return to daily activity and exercise. If you had a C-section or complications, your therapist will guide you on when to start.

Starting pelvic muscle therapy early, with guidance, gives the best results for pelvic health after childbirth.

Pelvic floor therapy helps with diastasis recti by strengthening the muscles of your pelvis and core. Diastasis recti is when the belly muscles separate after pregnancy, which can make your tummy weak and cause back or pelvic pain.

Through pelvic muscle therapy and pelvic floor rehab, therapists teach gentle exercises that safely bring the belly muscles closer, improve posture, and support your pelvis and back. This helps reduce discomfort, restore strength, and make daily activities easier.

Using pregnancy pelvic floor therapy or postpartum pelvic floor rehab regularly can improve core stability and help you return to exercise safely.

Yes, pelvic floor therapy can help prevent prolapse after childbirth. Prolapse happens when the pelvic organs, like the bladder or uterus, drop because the pelvic muscles are weak.

Postpartum pelvic floor rehab and pelvic muscle therapy strengthen these muscles. Strong muscles support your organs, reduce pelvic heaviness, and lower the risk of prolapse. Pregnancy pelvic floor therapy before birth can also prepare your muscles, making them stronger and more flexible for delivery.

Regular therapy helps improve pelvic health after childbirth and supports a safe return to daily activities and exercise.

Pelvic floor therapy is special care for the muscles at the bottom of your pelvis. These muscles support your bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs.
