What is Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy?

Pelvic floor physical therapy focuses on restoring strength, coordination, and control to the muscles that support your bladder, uterus, and core. When these muscles become weak, tight, or uncoordinated — whether from pregnancy, childbirth, surgery, injury, or chronic stress — symptoms like leakage, pelvic pain, pressure, or discomfort during exercise can develop. Treatment begins with a thorough evaluation to understand the root cause of your symptoms.


At PhysioRX, pelvic floor therapy goes beyond basic exercises. We combine targeted muscle retraining, breathing mechanics, core integration, and strength progression to help women in New York move comfortably and confidently again. The goal isn’t just symptom relief — it’s restoring full function so you can return to workouts, daily life, and activities without hesitation.
