Why Pelvic Floor Therapy Matters More Than You Think

Pelvic floor health is one of those topics that doesn’t get nearly enough attention, yet it plays a major role in how we move, function, and feel every single day. At Coal Creek Physical Therapy, we believe in addressing the root cause of discomfort and empowering you with real solutions. That’s where pelvic floor therapy comes in.

What Is the Pelvic Floor?

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles located at the base of the pelvis that supports the bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs. These muscles help control urination, bowel movements, and play a role in sexual function. When they’re not working properly, it can lead to a wide range of issues—many of which people suffer through silently.

Common Signs You May Benefit from Pelvic Floor Therapy

• Leaking urine when you laugh, cough, or exercise

• Feeling pressure or heaviness in the pelvic area

• Pain during intercourse

• Constipation or difficulty emptying your bladder

• Postpartum recovery challenges

• Lower back, hip, or pelvic pain

How Pelvic Floor Therapy Helps

Pelvic floor therapy is a specialized type of physical therapy that focuses on assessing and treating dysfunction in these muscles. At Coal Creek PT, our trained pelvic health therapists use a combination of techniques including manual therapy, movement training, and personalized exercises to help retrain your muscles and restore proper function.

The Benefits You Can Expect

• Improved bladder and bowel control

• Reduced pelvic pain and pressure

• Stronger core and better posture

• Faster postpartum recovery

• Improved sexual health and confidence

And most importantly, you’ll gain a better understanding of your body and the tools to manage your health for the long term.

Who Is It For?

The truth is, pelvic floor therapy isn’t just for postpartum moms. It can benefit people of all ages and genders whether you're an athlete, experiencing menopause, recovering from surgery, or simply want to feel more comfortable and in control of your body.
