What Is Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy?
Pelvic floor physical therapy is a specialized form of treatment focused on the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues that support your pelvic organs, including the bladder, uterus, and bowel. These muscles play a key role in continence, core strength, and sexual function, yet they’re often overlooked in standard care.
At Wonsettler Physical Therapy, we believe that pelvic health is whole-body health, and we’re proud to support women through this often-misunderstood area of recovery.
Who Should Consider Pelvic Floor Therapy?
Many women are surprised to learn they’re candidates for pelvic floor physical therapy, even if they haven’t given birth.
You may benefit from pelvic floor therapy if you experience:
- Urinary leakage with coughing, sneezing, or exercise
- Pelvic pain during daily activities or intimacy
- Pressure or heaviness in the lower abdomen
- Difficulty with bowel movements
- Help pregnant women prepare for labor and postpartum recovery challenges
- Low back, hip, or tailbone pain that hasn’t resolved
Common Conditions Treated with Pelvic Floor Therapy
- Postpartum Recovery (Vaginal or C-section)
- Stress and Urge Incontinence
- Pelvic Organ Prolapse
- Endometriosis-related Pelvic Pain
- Painful Intercourse (Dyspareunia)
- Constipation or Bowel Dysfunction

You are always in control of your treatment, and our team will work closely with you to ensure you feel supported every step of the way.
Why This Matters
Pelvic floor dysfunction affects 1 in 3 women, yet many are told it’s “just part of aging” or “normal after having kids.” It’s not — and you don’t have to live with it.
With the right physical therapy support, your body can heal, strengthen, and feel like yours again
