What is Pelvic Floor Therapy?

The pelvic floor muscles act as a supportive hammock for your pelvic organs, controlling bladder and bowel function while supporting core stability. When these muscles become too tight, too weak, or uncoordinated—due to pregnancy, trauma, or dysfunction—they can trigger pain, incontinence, or sexual dysfunction. This often leads to conditions like pelvic floor dysfunction, which can significantly disrupt your daily life.
Pelvic floor therapy is a specialized treatment performed at Nurtiva using manual therapy techniques, targeted exercise programs, and advanced modalities like dry needling to restore normal muscle function.
This process helps retrain your muscles to work properly, reducing symptoms and supporting your body's natural healing response. Over time, it helps patients regain control and confidence—without relying on medication or surgery.
Don't let pelvic health problems continue to limit your life. Connect with our team at Nurtiva, and take the first step toward natural recovery.
