Wait… Physical Therapy for My Vagina?
That’s the reaction many women have when they’re first referred for pelvic floor physical therapy. We get it — the concept is new to a lot of people. But here at Revelle Physical Therapy, we’re here to help you understand what it is, how it works, and why it can change your life (yep, even if it’s been years since you gave birth!).
What Is the Pelvic Floor?
Your pelvic floor is a group of muscles and connective tissues that stretch from your pubic bone to your tailbone, and side to side between your sit bones. These muscles do a lot of heavy lifting — literally and figuratively. They help:
Support your bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs
Maintain proper posture and core stability
Control urination, bowel movements, and sexual function
When these muscles are weak, tight, or uncoordinated, they can cause all kinds of problems — and that’s where pelvic floor physical therapy comes in.
What Conditions Can Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy Treat?
So many women suffer in silence from pelvic floor dysfunction. You might benefit from pelvic floor PT if you’re experiencing:
Pelvic or low back pain
Prolapse or a feeling of pressure
Postpartum clearance for exercise
Urine leakage (even just a few drops!)
Tailbone pain
Ab Separation (Diastasis Recti)
Bladder or pelvic pain
Birth or “push” prep
Cesarean scar sensitivity
Constipation
Endometriosis -related symptoms
Painful intercourse
And the list doesn’t stop there. These issues are deeply personal, and we understand how hard it can be to talk about them. That’s why we’re here.
Why Revelle?
We created Revelle Physical Therapy because we saw a massive gap in care for pregnant and postpartum women. We were brushed off, told things were “normal,” and left without answers. That wasn’t good enough.
We believe:
You deserve better care. You deserve answers. You deserve support.
Whether you had a baby six weeks ago or six years ago, we want to help you reconnect with your body, heal fully, and feel strong again.
