UNDERSTANDING YOUR BODY
What is pelvic floor physical therapy?
Everyone has a pelvic floor, and when it isn't functioning properly, it can affect daily life through symptoms like pain, leaking, urgency, or pelvic pressure.
Pelvic floor physical therapy is a specialized, evidence-based treatment that addresses the muscles, tissues, and nerves contributing to these symptoms through hands-on care, exercise, movement retraining, and education.
At Rooted Physiotherapy, you'll receive one-on-one care in a private, comfortable setting where your concerns are heard and your goals guide treatment. Healing starts with trust, and we're here to support you every step of the way.
HERE FOR EVERY SEASON
Wherever life finds you, you belong here.
With/without children
You don’t have to have been pregnant to experience pelvic floor dysfunction. Painful sex, pelvic pain, leaking, and urgency can affect women at any stage of life — and all of it is worth treating.
Reproductive-Age Women
From pregnancy through postpartum recovery, we support women through every physical transition that comes with growing and birthing a baby.
Pregnancy & Postpartum
Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can significantly affect pelvic floor function, leading to increased urgency, prolapse, painful intimacy, and more. This stage of life deserves dedicated, knowledgeable care — not dismissal.
Perimenopause & Menopause
We treat a wide range of pelvic floor conditions.
HOW WE CAN HELP
Pelvic floor dysfunction can show up in many different ways. Explore some of the concerns we help women navigate.
-
Urinary Incontinence Leaking when you laugh, sneeze, cough, or exercise (esp. w/ impact like running & jumping)
Urinary Urgency Feeling the need to pee frequently or urgently, often needing to rush to the bathroom
Interstitial cystitis “Bladder Pain Syndrome” – chronic bladder pain, pressure, and urinary urgency
Constipation Infrequent bowel movements, hard stools, straining, incomplete emptying, pain
Fecal Incontinence Involuntary loss of solid or liquid stool
Painful urination or pain with bowel movements
-
Endometriosis-related pelvic pain — while we don’t treat endometriosis itself, we can address the pelvic floor dysfunction and pain patterns it creates
Dyspareunia — painful sex and intimacy
Pudendal neuralgia — irritation or compression of the pudendal nerve can cause burning, stabbing, or aching pain in the pelvis, genitals, or rectum.
Tailbone Pain “coccydynia” – can be caused by injury to the coccyx during a fall, childbith or prolonged sitting.
Vaginal and/or vulvar pain – “vulvodynia”
Abdominal and/or groin pain
-
Vaginal and Vulvar Changes – Dryness, itching, burning, thinning, and increased sensitivity or irritation, often called atrophy.
Perimenopausal changes can include many of the conditions listed above, esp. painful intercourse, increased leaking, feeling of pressure or heaviness in the pelvis
Often times, there has been underlying pelvic floor dysfunction for years, but not enough to show up as symptomatic until the hormonal shifts of menopause start.
-
Bulge/Pressure: A feeling of fullness, heaviness in the pelvic region. A visible or palpable bulge, or tissue extending outside the vaginal opening. Feeling like there is a tampon in the wrong position.
Urinary Issues: Urgency, frequency, weak urine stream, or incomplete emptying.
Bowel Issues: Constipation, difficulty with bowel movements, or a need to support the vaginal wall to pass stool (splinting).
