If you’ve been dealing with symptoms that feel frustrating, confusing, or difficult to talk about—you’re not alone, and there are effective solutions.

What Is the Pelvic Floor?

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that spans from the pubic bone to the tailbone, forming the base of your pelvis. These muscles play a critical role in:

  • Bladder and bowel control

  • Support of pelvic organs (bladder, bowel, and uterus)

  • Core stability and movement

  • Sexual function and arousal

  • Lymphatic and circulatory support

Like any muscle in the body, the pelvic floor can become weak, tight, or poorly coordinated, leading to a variety of symptoms.

Common Conditions We Treat

Pelvic floor dysfunction can present in many different ways. We commonly work with individuals experiencing:

  • Urinary incontinence, urgency, or frequency

  • Difficulty emptying the bladder

  • Constipation or bowel dysfunction

  • Pain with intercourse (dyspareunia)

  • Pelvic organ prolapse

  • Pelvic, abdominal, or low back pain

  • Endometriosis, PCOS, or fibroid-related pain

  • Vulvodynia or vaginismus

  • Pudendal neuralgia and nerve-related pain

  • Tailbone (coccyx), rectal, or testicular pain

These symptoms may develop gradually or occur after events such as pregnancy, childbirth, surgery, or injury.

Our Approach to Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy

At Apto, we take a whole-body, integrative approach to pelvic health. While the pelvic floor plays a central role, it does not function in isolation—and neither does our assessment.

Your care begins with a thorough evaluation that looks at how your pelvic floor muscles contract, relax, and coordinate, but also how they work in relation to the rest of your body. This includes assessing breathing patterns, core control, hip and low back function, posture, movement mechanics, and how you generate and manage pressure through your system.

Because pelvic floor dysfunction is often influenced by other areas—such as the hips, spine, abdominal wall, or even movement habits—our goal is to identify the underlying contributors, not just treat local symptoms.

From there, we create an individualized treatment plan designed to restore optimal muscle function, improve coordination, and reduce symptoms while supporting your overall movement and function.

Treatment may include:

  • Pelvic floor muscle retraining

  • Breathing and core coordination

  • Manual therapy

  • Movement and progressive strength training

  • Education and lifestyle strategies

  • Dry needling, when appropriate

Pelvic Floor Therapy Is About More Than the Pelvis

Pelvic floor dysfunction rarely exists in isolation.

It is often connected to other areas of the body, including the hips, low back, and abdominal wall. Addressing these relationships is a key part of achieving lasting results.

Pelvic floor physical therapy is often an important component of recovery for:

  • Persistent low back or hip pain

  • Pelvic girdle dysfunction

  • Hip labral injuries or impingement

  • Postpartum recovery

In many cases, the pelvic floor is the missing link in resolving symptoms that haven’t fully improved with traditional care.

Who Is Pelvic Floor PT For?

Pelvic floor physical therapy is appropriate for:

  • Women during pregnancy and postpartum

  • Men and women with bladder or bowel concerns

  • Individuals experiencing pelvic pain or sexual dysfunction

  • Those recovering from surgery or injury

  • Anyone dealing with persistent lumbopelvic or hip pain
