Some people will sneeze, cross their legs, hold their breath, say a quick prayer…
…and still be like: “I don’t need pelvic floor PT.” 👀

If sneezing feels like a full-body survival event, that’s not just “getting older” or “normal after kids.”

That’s your pelvic floor asking for help.

✨ Leaking with sneezing, coughing, laughing, or jumping is common — but it’s not normal.
✨ And no, the solution isn’t just doing random kegels or hoping for the best.

Pelvic floor physical therapy teaches you how to coordinate, strengthen, or relax your pelvic floor so your body doesn’t panic every time pollen exists.

You don’t have to clench and pray forever.
We promise. 😌

Prolapse doesn’t happen because your body failed, and it’s not caused by childbirth alone. Vaginal birth is a risk factor, but also chronic coughing and chronic constipation causing strain to important fascial and ligament structures is what ultimately causes prolapse.

Pelvic floor weakness is not a causative factor, either! However, a weak pelvic floor CAN cause more stress to already stressed out fascial and ligament structures. The pelvic floor is designed to take the pressure off our ligaments - just like all muscles in our body are designed to reduce strain to our other tissues!

A diagnosis of prolapse is nothing to fear and surgery is not always needed.
At Break Free Pelvic Health, we can assess your tissues to determine if you will be successful with pelvic floor physical therapy alone. Sometimes surgery is needed. Sometimes vaginal estrogen is needed. And sometimes a pessary would be life changing! We help to strengthen the pelvic floor to take stress off your tissues, manage and treat constipation, teach you how to lift and cough with pelvic floor support, and more. If you need a pessary, we fit those too!

Education is empowerment. You deserve options and hope - we've got them here!

A weak stream isn’t just “getting older.”

Your pelvic floor plays a huge role in how easily and completely you p*e. When those muscles are tight, weak, or uncoordinated, flow can slow down, start-stop, or feel like way more effort than it should.

Men’s pelvic floor physical therapy helps restore strength and relaxation, so things work the way they’re supposed to again.

At Break Free, we see a large amount of male patients who have experienced great relief and improvement in their symptoms through pelvic floor physical therapy.

Your pelvic floor isn’t exempt from training principles. Just like any other muscle, it can be too weak or too tight.

At pelvic floor PT, we assess what your body needs, whether that’s strengthening an underactive pelvic floor or relaxing an overactive one.

When your pelvic floor is functioning well, you’ll often notice better performance in the gym 👇

• 🏋️‍♀️ More power and stability during lifts
• 🎯 Better core control in squats, deadlifts, and presses
• 💨 Improved breathing and bracing
• 🚫 Less leaking with jumping, running, or lifting
• 🔁 Better recovery and less compensation patterns

Train the muscle that supports everything else.
Your workouts (and your body) will thank you.

One of our most FAQ... "why do men come to pelvic floor pt?"

Pain with s*x doesn’t all feel the same, and that matters.

Sharp pain at insertion, deep discomfort in certain positions, or soreness that lingers afterward can all point to different pelvic floor or nervous system contributors. When we understand how pain shows up, we can better understand why it’s happening, and how to treat it.

Pain during intimacy is common, but it’s not normal. And it’s not something you have to push through or live with. 💯

Relief starts with listening to your body and getting the right support.
You deserve care that helps you feel safe, comfortable, and confident again.

That's where we come in. ✨

We’ve been told for years that kegels are the cure for pelvic floor dysfunction.

Here’s the truth: many people don’t have a weak pelvic floor... they have an overactive one.

Tight, overworked muscles can cause pain, leakage, difficulty emptying the bladder or bowels, and painful s*x.

Strengthening a muscle that can’t relax doesn’t fix the problem.

This is why internal assessment matters! You deserve to know what the issue actually is, so that we can work on fixing it.

When your chart says everything is normal, but your body says something is wrong, that's where having the right provider makes the difference.

We treat chronic pelvic floor–related pain every day, often in people who’ve been told "everything looks normal". It's a sad regular occurance at our office.

But finding relief after being dismissed isn’t luck... it’s care that actually listens.

At Break Free, we get to know your history, your story and begin unraveling why you are now symptomatic and how you can be successful with our care.

We take the time with our patients to teach you how your body works, what you should be feeling with exercise, why we are prescribing a certain treatment or plan, and more importantly - Is it working?

If you are ready for the care you deserve, we are here to help 👏

We don’t just care about your pelvic floor, we care about you. 💜

The wins, the setbacks, the “guess what happened today,” the life updates you think are off-topic (they’re not). We genuinely want to hear it all.

We’re cheering for you long after your appointment ends. Always. ✨

Pelvic pain can affect boys, teens, and men at every stage of life. When more serious causes like infection or cancer are ruled out, the pelvic floor and abdominal muscles are often part of the picture.

Pelvic health physical therapy is a safe, effective, and non-invasive option that helps address the root cause of symptoms, not just manage them.

Let’s normalize pelvic health care for boys and men.
Support starts with awareness, and real help exists.

Save this. Share it. Start the conversation.

Slow, weak, or stop-and-go stream? Your pelvic floor might be the culprit.

Pelvic floor tension can interfere with bladder emptying, and it’s more common in men than you think.

PT can help restore normal flow and function, and provide relief. Men don't need to suffer through these symptoms in silence.

If you're in the Charleston area, we can help!
