What is Women’s Health Physical Therapy?
Women’s health physical therapy supports strength, pelvic health, and function through every stage of life, including pregnancy, postpartum, midlife, and menopause.
At Posture Studio, we help women address pelvic health concerns, recover after pregnancy or surgery, rebuild core and pelvic floor strength, and stay strong and active throughout life.
What Is Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy?
Pelvic floor physical therapy addresses the muscles and tissues that support bladder and bowel function, core stability, and sexual health. Pelvic floor therapy isn’t just for women after pregnancy—it benefits people of all ages and activity levels who want to improve pelvic health, core stability, and overall well-being.
Treatment begins with an individualized evaluation and may include exercise, manual therapy, biofeedback, and education. We treat concerns including:
Pelvic pain
Urinary or bowel dysfunction
Pregnancy and postpartum recovery
Prolapse
Sexual health concerns
Menopause-related pelvic health changes
Pediatric Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy
Pediatric pelvic floor therapy helps children and adolescents with bowel, bladder, and pelvic health concerns, including constipation, urinary frequency, incontinence, and daytime or nighttime wetting.
Using age-appropriate education, exercise, and movement strategies, we help children and families develop healthy habits and greater confidence managing pelvic health.
Pelvic floor physical therapy can help a wide range of people, including those experiencing:
Postpartum recovery – regaining strength and stability after childbirth
Urinary or bowel incontinence – leakage, urgency, or difficulty controlling functions
Pelvic pain – discomfort related to scar tissue, muscle tension, or sexual activity
Prolapse – a feeling of heaviness or pressure in the pelvic area
Core and back issues – when pelvic floor dysfunction contributes to poor stability
Athletes and active individuals – addressing pelvic floor imbalance that limits performance
