Frequently Asked Questions

Pelvic floor physical therapy is a specialized branch of physical therapy that focuses on the assessment and treatment of the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues that make up the pelvic floor. The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that support the bladder, rectum, and reproductive organs. These muscles play a crucial role in functions such as controlling urination, bowel movements, and sexual function. These muscles can also contribute to back, hip and pelvic pain.
