Chronic pelvic pain isn’t “in your head”… but it does affect your mental health. 💛

When pain lasts long enough, your nervous system becomes physiologically wired to notice it.
Your brain is doing its job — scanning for threat — which means pelvic pain isn’t something you can just “ignore” or push through.

And because we don’t talk about pelvic pain nearly enough, it can feel incredibly isolating.
It’s invisible… but it impacts EVERYTHING:
✨ sitting
✨ exercise
✨ work
✨ sleep
✨ daily tasks
✨ and intimacy/connection with your partner

If you’ve felt alone in this — you’re not.

You deserve answers. You deserve support. And you deserve a plan. 🤍

Pelvic floor therapy can help you feel strong, supported, and confident as your body changes.

It’s especially helpful if you notice:
🩵 Discomfort in your pelvis, back, hips, or tailbone
🩵 A sense of pressure or heaviness
🩵 Bladder leaks if bowel changes
🩵 Pain with movement
🩵 wondering how to best prepare for birth

Invest in yourself! You deserve comfort, strength, and peace of mind throughout pregnancy. 💕

Diastasis recti is not a failure — it’s a normal part of pregnancy for many people. 💙

The important thing to know:
✅ the goal isn’t always to “close the gap”
✅ the goal is to restore core function (breath, deep core, pelvic floor + pressure management)

If you’re postpartum and noticing:
• doming/coning
• core weakness
• low back pain
• heaviness or leaking
• difficulty returning to workouts

Pelvic floor PT can help you rebuild safely and confidently — so you can get back to what you love. 🌿

Labor prep isn’t just about breathing techniques… it’s about pelvic mobility. 💙

During pregnancy, your sacrum, tailbone, and pelvis need to be able to MOVE to allow:
✨ baby to drop into the pelvis
✨ baby to rotate through the pelvic inlet
✨ baby to exit through the pelvic outlet + perineum

If there’s tightness or restriction in the pelvic joints or surrounding muscles, it can make labor feel harder — and limit baby’s ability to descend.

📚 Research even shows that a fully mobile tailbone can increase the pelvic outlet by ~1 cm.

That’s HUGE in labor.

Pelvic floor PT can help improve mobility, reduce restrictions, and help your body prepare for birth — not just recover after. 🌿

🩵 Pregnancy Week continues 🩵

❓One of the most common questions we hear is: When is the best time to start pelvic floor therapy during pregnancy?

💬The short answer is: there’s no wrong time.
Each trimester brings changes to your body, and pelvic floor therapy supports those changes in different ways, from early awareness and prevention, to managing discomfort as your belly grows, to preparing your body for labor and recovery.

🩵 Our Pregnancy Program is designed for women who are trying to conceive, currently pregnant, or postpartum, with care tailored to where your body is right now.

💌 If you’re curious about how pelvic floor therapy could support your pregnancy, DM us or reach out to Functional Physical Therapy.

Men’s pelvic health matters. 💙

If you’ve been told you have BPH (enlarged prostate) and you’re dealing with:
🚽 urinary frequency
⏳ hesitancy / weak stream
🌙 waking at night to p*e
😣 urgency
…there may be more going on than just the prostate.

The pelvic floor muscles play a HUGE role in urinary function — and if they’re tight, overactive, or uncoordinated, they can worsen symptoms.

✅ Pelvic floor PT can help by:
• relaxing the muscles
• improving coordination
• restoring better bladder emptying patterns

Because urinary symptoms aren’t always “just aging.” 👀

🌸 Welcome to Pregnancy Week! 🌸

🩵 Pregnancy is full of amazing changes from hormonal shifts that loosen ligaments to extra pressure on your bladder, core, and pelvic floor. These changes can sometimes make posture tricky, cause back or hip discomfort, and make everyday movement feel harder.

🩵 That’s where pelvic floor therapy comes in! It help you stay strong, comfortable, and prepared for labor and postpartum recovery. 💪

🩵 Our Pregnancy Program is for all women who are trying to conceive, already pregnant, or postpartum. Through guided exercises and expert support, you’ll learn how to move safely, maintain strength, and feel confident in your body at every stage.

UTI symptoms… but no infection? 👀

This is more common than you think.
Many people feel:
🚽 urgency + frequency
🔥 burning
💧 bladder pressure
😣 pelvic discomfort
…and assume it’s a UTI.

But often the urine culture is negative — because the real cause is pelvic floor muscle tension/irritation, not bacteria.

⚠️ If it’s not an infection, antibiotics won’t fix it (and can actually create other issues).
Pelvic floor PT can help address the root cause — muscle tension, trigger points, nerve irritation, and coordination issues. 💙

Your tailbone (coccyx) is small… but it matters more than most people realize. 👀

It’s where the end of your spinal cord connects, and it’s a key attachment point for your:
✨ pelvic floor muscles
✨ glutes
✨ filum terminale (end of the spinal cord)

At Functional Physical Therapy, we assess the tailbone in almost everyone — regardless of diagnosis — because it can contribute to:
• pelvic floor symptoms
• hip + back pain
• neck pain
• headaches/migraines
• shoulder pain

And here’s the truth: it usually won’t fix itself untreated.

Most PTs don’t evaluate this — but we do. 💙

Not everyone needs Kegels 👀

Sometimes pelvic floor symptoms are coming from an overactive pelvic floor (too tight / holding tension), not weakness.
Signs it may be overactive:
1️⃣ leaking + pain/tension
2️⃣ urgency/frequency
3️⃣ pain with tampons/intimacy or constipation

Pelvic floor PT helps you restore mobility + relaxation + coordination — not just “strength.”
