Many individuals avoid seeking treatment for pelvic floor conditions because they are embarrassed, or they believe these issues are a normal part of aging. But 50-70% of our patients would attest that physical therapy is a good, noninvasive treatment option for pelvic floor disorders. Pelvic exercises can be done on your own, but working one on one with a pelvic physical therapist gives you the best result. Therapists can walk through exercises to strengthen, relax and retrain pelvic floor muscles and the core to improve functioning and reduce discomfort.
