What are Pelvic Floor Disorders?

At your initial evaluation, a FYZICAL Chicago therapist will assess your symptoms and perform a thorough examination. We’ll then discuss your diagnosis and work with you to create a personalized plan of care.

We use various evidence-based pelvic treatments:

This process involves gentle hands-on work such as myofascial release and coccyx mobilization to minimize pain, tightness, and scar restrictions.

This treatment for pelvic floor disorders retrains how and when your pelvic floor relaxes and contracts. It uses breathing and postural strategies to enhance timing, endurance, and the full relaxation of overactive muscles.

This training builds your deep core system, including the hips and glutes. It begins with gentle activation and progresses into functional tasks like lifting and running mechanics.
