What can cause pelvic dysfunction?
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that holds the pelvic organs (the vagina, bladder, rectum or uterus, in a woman). When these muscles become weak or too tight, they can cause low back, hip or pelvic pain and/or incontinence. Pregnancy, childbirth, c-section, poor posture, advanced age, high impact sports (running), cancer treatments, pelvic or urogenital surgery are all risk factors for pelvic dysfunction.

What can be done?
We take a non-surgical approach for strengthening and releasing the pelvic floor and restoring proper movement with manual therapy, modalities, patient education and therapeutic exercises.

What can I expect?
First we will perform an examination and test specific muscles to assess strength deficits, coordination concerns, tight muscles, tender points and myofascial restrictions. We will develop a treatment plan for you that includes independent, take-home exercises that will empower you to prevent further impairments down the road.
