Allow Align Physical Therapy to assist you in finding pelvic pain relief!
Are you experiencing pelvic pain? The pelvis is made up of the bones in the center of your skeleton, where the spine connects to your lower extremities. Some vital organs, including our reproductive organs, are housed in this region. It also serves as an attachment point for some of the body’s strongest muscles.
Pelvic pain can occur for a variety of reasons, and the location of the pain often indicates the source of the pain. Back pain, for example, is frequently associated with lower back conditions, whereas front pain is typically caused by hip joint issues.
Our physical therapists at Align Physical Therapy are experts in treating pelvic pain associated with reproductive health and the pelvic floor muscles. This type of pain can be limiting and even embarrassing for some people. It can interfere with your daily life and prevent you from performing some of the most intimate and personal functions involving your bowel and bladder, as well as your sexual function.
Fortunately, pelvic floor rehabilitation can help alleviate your symptoms of pelvic dysfunction and strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, preventing future problems.
If you are experiencing pelvic pain, you must identify the source of your problems and seek the assistance you require to resolve them.

What role does physical therapy play in pelvic health?
Our Indian Harbour Beach, Melbourne Beach and Micco, FL physical therapists will begin with a thorough evaluation to determine the source of your symptoms and all of the factors influencing your current situation. Pelvic floor rehabilitation and associated treatments have been shown to treat a variety of conditions that cause pelvic pain.
The following are some of the most common pelvic conditions treated by physical therapy:
Postpartum Pelvic Pain:
Pain is frequently felt in the sacroiliac (SI) joint, tailbone, hips, and lower back. Some people have pain in their pelvis on the pubic symphysis.
It is common for new mothers to experience strained or torn muscles and connective tissue in their pelvic floor region after giving birth. During and after childbirth, pelvic floor muscle tension or pain in the area between your vagina and rectum (i.e., perineum) is common.
Pelvic floor rehabilitation can help you regain normal, pain-free function by reducing pain and strengthening any tense or damaged muscles.
Urinary Incontinence:
Leaking urine while coughing, laughing, or sneezing is common during pregnancy, worsening in the third trimester and continuing after delivery.
There are numerous treatment options available to help strengthen the pelvic floor muscles before and after childbirth. Incontinence can be treated and eliminated with education on resolving and managing symptoms, as well as pelvic floor rehabilitation focusing on strengthening the muscles under your bladder.
Pain Following Abdominal Surgery
If you are recovering from a recent surgical procedure, such as abdominal, reproductive, or orthopedic surgery, you may experience pain in the pelvic region (i.e., spine or hip joint).
Fortunately, our highly skilled physical therapists can determine the source of your pain and any factors that are contributing to your condition, allowing you to find relief.
Manual therapy techniques effectively relieve muscle tension while also releasing adhesions and increasing blood flow to aid in the healing process. Stretching and strengthening exercises can help improve overall pelvic mobility and function.
While these are just a few of the most common pelvic dysfunction conditions that our physical therapist can treat, there are several other pelvic conditions that pelvic floor rehabilitation can treat, including: Painful intercourse, Pelvic organ prolapse, Difficulty/painful urination (i.e. dyspareunia), and Abdominal muscles tearing (i.e., diastasis recti)
