Elite PT North's Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy offers compassionate, specialized care for pelvic pain, postpartum recovery, incontinence, and more—designed to restore comfort, strength, and confidence.
Pelvic floor physical therapy is a specialized type of PT focusing on the evaluation and treatment of the muscles located in the pelvis to resolve symptoms of: pelvic pain, bladder and bowel dysfunction, diastasis recti, prolapse, back pain and more. Pelvic floor PT involves the examination of the pelvic floor muscles in conjunction with traditional orthopedic physical assessments. The use of manual therapies, neuromuscular re-education techniques, and exercise prescription address findings from the examination to improve pain, muscle and joint health, movement mechanics, and activities of daily living associated with quality of life.
At Elite PT, we are committed to empowering individuals who suffer with pelvic health concerns by offering comprehensive external and internal evaluations (based on comfort level), tailored treatment plans, and private collaboration to help individuals realize the cause of their symptoms, address their concerns, and reach their lifestyle goals.
The pelvic floor is a complex group of structures including: muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissues that sit at the base of the pelvis and provide support for the essential organs (bladder, rectum, uterus), control of urination and defecation, and healthy sexual function. Dysfunction in the pelvic floor can lead to a variety of issues listed above. Our specialized physical therapy aims to identify and address the root causes of these issues for lasting relief and improved function.
A Stronger Recovery After Three C-Sections
I’ve had 3 C-sections, and pelvic floor physical therapy is something I wish I started the first time around!
After my third, I found Abby at Elite PT and my time spent with her made a huge difference in my recovery, both physically and visibly looking at my scar.
Not only did Abby help with my incision area, she guided me through proper core exercises that helped me safely rebuild strength from the inside out.
If you’ve had a C-section (especially multiple), I highly recommend getting started with Abby.
I recommend pelvic floor PT to every postpartum mom now—it’s truly one of the best things I’ve done for my recovery!
Support Through Pregnancy, Postpartum, and Beyond
I knew I wanted to find a pelvic floor therapist when I eventually got pregnant, and was happy to learn Elite had a therapist on staff. Abby saw me through my second and third trimesters with exercises focused on maintaining balance and comfort in my ever-changing body, and deep core work to prepare for postpartum recovery.
After a difficult labor, unplanned c-section, and poor posture from breastfeeding, Abby swooped in with pain relief for my shoulders and back through cupping, dry needling, and manual work. She helped me stand up straight and feel deeply-needed internal resets when I was facing little sleep and a healing body.
I now feel capable of carrying a very heavy 15-month-old up and down three flights of stairs all day and tossing him in the air. I love knowing I can provide this care for my body during future pregnancies and come out feeling strong on the other side.
Finding Relief and Strength After Injury and Surgery
I can’t say enough good things about Abby and Pelvic Floor PT at Elite! After dealing with a significant injury and multiple surgeries with limited improvement, Abby utilized her knowledge and expertise regarding the pelvic floor to address my symptoms from a new angle.
With her help I was able to decrease my pain while simultaneously improving my strength, mobility, and motor control. She has seen me through injury, recovery, pregnancy, and postpartum. I will forever be grateful for the care I received!
