About the Pelvic Floor

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues that form a supportive hammock-like structure at the bottom of the pelvis. It spans from the pubic bone at the front of the pelvis to the tailbone at the back and from one sitting bone to the other.These muscles play a crucial role in supporting the pelvic organs, controlling bowel and bladder function, and maintaining sexual health.

Pelvic floor issues can cause a range of symptoms, including:

  • Incontinence
  • Pain in the pelvis, low back, and even neck
  • Painful intercourse
  • Sexual dysfunction
  • Pre- and postnatal issues
  • Prolapse of the uterus, bladder, or bowels into the vagina

About Pelvic Floor Rehab

A pelvic floor rehab program typically involves a combination of exercises, manual therapy techniques, education on pelvic floor anatomy and function, and behavioral strategies to improve bladder and bowel habits.

I would highly recommend Jennifer for pelvic floor physical therapy. I was hesitant to address some incontinence that has been bothersome and embarrassing for the last couple years. Instantly, I was comfortable with her, able to talk about it and found out how some other factors can contribute to it. She was very knowledgeable and gave me an exercise plan that is manageable to fit in. I was grateful to see results in less than a week. Her instruction and evaluation is helpful and thorough. Just do it, you’ll be glad you did and wish you had done it sooner.
