Are you feeling frustrated and overwhelmed by pelvic discomfort during your pregnancy? If you’re experiencing pelvic pain during pregnancy, you’re not alone. Many pregnant and postpartum women face this challenge, but there’s hope on the horizon with pelvic floor therapy.

Your pelvis is a marvel, designed to support and adapt during pregnancy. But sometimes, it throws a curveball with pain. Here’s the thing: it’s not your fault. Pelvic pain isn’t about how many kiddos you’ve brought into the world or whether you’ve had a C-section. It’s about orthopedic hiccups, fixable with the right care.

How do I know if I need pelvic floor therapy?
Wondering if pelvic floor therapy could make a difference for you? Here are some telltale signs that might point to pelvic floor issues. Think about that pelvic pain that just won’t quit, making everything from daily activities to intimacy feel uncomfortable. Or maybe it’s those sneeze-induced leaks that catch you off guard and leave you feeling embarrassed. Yup, urinary incontinence can be a real buzzkill, especially when it happens during a good laugh or mid-workout. And let’s not forget about those frequent bathroom trips that disrupt your day or the feeling of urgency that hits you out of nowhere.
Then there’s the struggle with emptying your bladder or bowels, which can be frustrating and uncomfortable. And if you’re dealing with pelvic organ prolapse, where you feel like things are shifting or bulging down there, it’s definitely time to take notice. Plus, if you’re gearing up for pregnancy or trying to bounce back postpartum, pelvic floor therapy can be a game-changer in getting your body back in balance.
If any of these symptoms sound familiar, it’s worth chatting with a healthcare provider to see if pelvic floor therapy could be the missing piece of your wellness puzzle. They can assess your situation and help you figure out if pelvic floor therapy is the right fit for you.
