Dr. Makayla and Dr. Cindy bring extensive expertise and training to our practice.

Pelvic floor physical therapy focuses on the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues that support the pelvic organs, including the bladder, uterus, rectum, and prostate. Dysfunction in these structures can lead to a variety of symptoms, ranging from discomfort to significant quality-of-life impairments. Our specialized treatments address these issues through targeted exercises, manual therapy, biofeedback, and patient education.

Pelvic floor physical therapy is beneficial for a wide range of individuals experiencing symptoms such as:

• Urinary or fecal incontinence
• Pelvic pain or pressure
• Pain during intercourse
• Constipation or difficulty with bowel movements
• Post-surgical pelvic pain or dysfunction
• Diastasis recti (abdominal separation)
• Prolapse of pelvic organs

In addition, patients with conditions like endometriosis, interstitial cystitis, or chronic pelvic pain syndrome often find relief through targeted pelvic floor therapy.

Pregnancy and childbirth place unique demands on the pelvic floor. During pregnancy, the added weight and hormonal changes can weaken pelvic muscles. Childbirth, whether vaginal or cesarean, can result in trauma to these structures. Pelvic floor physical therapy is essential for:

• Preparing the body for labor and delivery
• Strengthening and stabilizing the pelvic floor during pregnancy
• Aiding recovery post-delivery
• Addressing incontinence or pain after childbirth

Ignoring pelvic floor dysfunction after giving birth can lead to long-term issues such as prolapse, chronic pain, or ongoing incontinence. Early intervention with a pelvic health specialist can prevent these complications and promote optimal recovery.

Without proper treatment, pelvic floor dysfunction can evolve into chronic conditions, including:

• Persistent urinary or fecal incontinence
• Pelvic organ prolapse
• Sexual dysfunction
• Chronic pelvic or back pain
• Reduced mobility and diminished quality of life

Incontinence, whether urinary or fecal, can be a source of embarrassment and discomfort. Pelvic floor physical therapy offers effective solutions by:

• Strengthening weak pelvic muscles

• Improving coordination and control of these muscles

• Teaching bladder and bowel retraining techniques

• Addressing contributing factors, such as posture or core weakness

Through personalized treatment plans, we help patients regain control and confidence, improving their daily lives.

If you’re experiencing any of the symptoms mentioned above or have concerns about your pelvic health, it’s time to consult a specialist. Whether you are pregnant, postpartum, recovering from surgery, or dealing with chronic pelvic pain, our team is here to provide expert care and guidance.

At our practice, we are committed to helping you achieve optimal pelvic health and regain your quality of life. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Makayla or Dr. Cindy today to learn more about how pelvic floor physical therapy can benefit you.
