What is Pelvic Floor Therapy?

What is pelvic floor therapy? If you’ve ever felt like something “just isn’t right” in your core — whether it’s pain, pressure, or bladder changes — you’re not alone.
Pelvic floor therapy helps you understand and strengthen the muscles that support your bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs. It’s not just for new moms or athletes; it’s for anyone whose daily life is affected by discomfort or weakness in this area.
You learn how to move, breathe, and use your muscles in ways that make your body feel supported again. Most people are surprised by how much this therapy improves their confidence, posture, and even intimacy.
Here’s what we focus on together:
Reconnecting you to muscles that have been ignored or overworked
Teaching gentle exercises that restore coordination and strength
Reducing pain and improving control so you can return to normal activities
This isn’t a quick fix — it’s a process that helps your body relearn balance and strength from the inside out. And it starts with you simply noticing that something feels off and deciding it’s time to feel whole again.

Stop Kegeling—Try These Pelvic Floor Stretches Instead

If you’ve been told to “just do Kegels” to fix your pelvic floor, you’re not alone. But what most people don’t realize is that too many Kegels can actually make things worse. For many active adults, especially runners and lifters, the real solution starts with learning how to release tension through pelvic floor stretches that help your muscles move and relax the way they should.
Your pelvic floor works like any other muscle group—it needs strength, but it also needs flexibility and recovery. When those muscles stay tight, you may notice pain in your hips, lower back, or even while running or sitting.
That’s your body telling you it’s time to stretch, not squeeze.
In this blog, we’ll walk through simple, science-backed stretches that help restore balance and coordination to your pelvic floor, so you can move freely, breathe easier, and get back to feeling strong again.
