Pelvic health Therapy

What is Pelvic Therapy?

 Pelvic therapy is similar to other types of therapy, but also very different in some ways. It is similar, because all therapy aims to address the neuromusculoskeletal system, which means that problems are occurring with your muscles, joints, connective tissue and nerves. Pelvic therapy visits are always delivered in a one-on-one session in a private room. Strengthening exercises can often be a component of the therapy, but do not require gym equipment. These symptoms are often caused by imbalances in muscle tone and strength of the pelvic floor and associated muscles and structures. Therefore, the movement, strength and muscle tone in your low back, hips, and abdomen, along with your posture and alignment, will be assessed.
