Pelvic Floor Therapy In Coral Springs

Pelvic Floor Therapy is a non-surgical, painless method of retraining the pelvic floor muscles that help control bladder, bowel, and sexual function.

Strengthening your pelvic floor muscles will help you to actively support your bladder and bowel, reducing the likelihood of leaking. 75%-90% of the patients treated attain significant improvement.

Pelvic Floor Therapy

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that support the bladder, uterus, and rectum. Stretching from the pubic bone to the tailbone, these muscles help control the urethra, vagina, and rectum, playing a key role in pelvic health and core stability.

Pelvic Floor Dysfunction (PFD) is common among women after childbirth and as they age. Weakened pelvic floor muscles can lead to issues like incontinence, pelvic pressure, or pain. While over 50 million women in the U.S. are affected, many never seek help. The good news? When caught early, PFD can often be treated without surgery.

Pelvic floor dysfunction often develops after childbirth, when the pelvic floor muscles become stretched or weakened during pregnancy and delivery. Other contributing factors include aging, hormonal changes, and weight gain.

The pelvic floor muscles support the bladder, vagina, uterus, and rectum, keeping them in their proper positions within the pelvis. When these muscles weaken—a condition known as Pelvic Floor Dysfunction (PFD)—the organs can shift downward, leading to various symptoms:

  • Bladder prolapse can cause urinary leakage
  • Vaginal or uterine prolapse may lead to reduced sensation or, in severe cases, the uterus or vaginal walls may descend outside the body
  • Rectal prolapse can result in fecal incontinence.

PFD can significantly impact a woman’s quality of life—affecting social confidence, self-esteem, and mental health. Despite its prevalence, PFD is often under-discussed. Yet, it affects millions and costs more in treatment annually than breast, ovarian, cervical, and uterine cancers combined.

Pelvic floor issues can run in families, and even if you’re symptom-free now, you may be at risk in the future—especially after childbirth, with age, or due to hormonal changes.

Just like Pap smears and mammograms, pelvic floor health should be part of every woman’s routine wellness exam. Be proactive—talk to your provider at your next visit. Early diagnosis makes pelvic floor disorders easier to treat, and many can be prevented with simple strengthening exercises.

There’s no need to worry—pelvic floor dysfunction is often both preventable and treatable. Most medical organizations recommend pelvic floor therapy or rehabilitation as an effective first-line treatment.

What is pelvic floor therapy? Pelvic floor therapy involves strengthening and retraining the pelvic floor muscles using guided exercises and, in some cases, gentle electrical stimulation. It is commonly used to treat various urological conditions and pelvic floor disorders.

Is pelvic floor therapy painful? No, the therapy is not painful. Most patients find it comfortable and manageable.

How often will I need therapy? You will have a session once a Week for approximately 6—8 weeks. These sessions will last about 1 hr.

What should I expect during a session? You’ll lie comfortably on an exam table while a nurse monitors your therapy using internal probes. Sessions are private, with only you and the nurse present to ensure your comfort and discretion.
