01 Overview
What Is Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy?
Pelvic floor physical therapy focuses on strengthening and relaxing the muscles that support your bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs. When these muscles aren’t working properly, it can cause pain, incontinence, or weakness. Therapy uses gentle, customized techniques to restore balance, improve control, and help you feel more confident in your daily life.
