Core & Strength Rehabilitation with Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy

Core and strength rehabilitation isn’t just about getting stronger—it’s about rebuilding coordination, control, and confidence in how your body moves. Pelvic floor physical therapy supports the deep core system so strength training and exercise feel effective and sustainable. Whether you’re recovering from pregnancy, managing pelvic floor symptoms, or returning to higher-level activity, pelvic floor PT helps you build strength that truly supports your body.

Is this you?

You might benefit from core and strength rehab if you:

  • Feel core weakness or instability during exercise

  • Notice doming, pressure, or compensation with movement

  • Have back, hip, or pelvic discomfort with strength training

  • Feel unsure how to safely progress workouts

  • Want to feel stronger without triggering pelvic floor symptoms

If any of this sounds familiar, pelvic floor physical therapy may help.

What “core strength” really means

True core strength goes beyond abdominal muscles. It includes how the pelvic floor, deep abdominals, diaphragm, hips, and nervous system work together to manage load and pressure.

If that system isn’t coordinating well—often after pregnancy, injury, surgery, or periods of pain—traditional strengthening alone may not feel effective.

Pelvic floor physical therapy focuses on function first, so strength training actually translates to real-life movement.

How pelvic floor physical therapy helps

Pelvic floor PT for core and strength rehab may include:

  • One-on-one assessment of core, pelvic floor, hips, and movement patterns

  • Education on breathing, posture, and pressure management

  • Progressive strengthening tailored to your goals

  • Guidance for lifting, resistance training, and functional movement

  • Strategies to build confidence without symptom flare-ups

Care is individualized and evolves as your strength improves.

What care looks like at Revelle

Internal exams are never required and are only performed with your consent if relevant.

Common questions

Is this only for postpartum patients?

Can pelvic floor PT help me lift heavier or train harder?
