Root To Rise Physical Therapy & Pelvic Health

Pelvic pain isn’t something you just have to live with. 💛

If you’ve noticed pain at the front of your pelvis (especially when walking, climbing stairs, or turning over in bed) you might be experiencing P***c Symphysis Dysfunction (PSD).

This joint at the front of your pelvis can become irritated or unstable due to hormonal changes, ligament laxity, or muscle imbalances during pregnancy or postpartum. It’s common, but it’s also treatable.

At Root To Rise Physical Therapy & Pelvic Health, we specialize in pelvic floor therapy for pregnancy and postpartum recovery. Through gentle manual therapy, movement re-education, and stabilization exercises, we help you:
🌿 Reduce pain
🌿 Restore pelvic alignment
🌿 Move confidently through daily life and activity

You deserve to feel strong, stable, and supported in your body.

📍 Serving Scarborough, S**o & Bath, Maine

Diastasis recti is something we treat a lot at Root To Rise.

That gap down the middle of your abs isn’t something to fear, it’s something to understand. It’s a sign that your body’s pressure system needs a little rebalancing, not that it’s broken.

With the right approach to breathing, loading, and movement, we can help restore function and strength safely and effectively so you can return to the workouts and activities you love with confidence.

(Yes, even crunches and burpees if that’s your thing!) 💪

Healing your core isn’t about restriction, it’s about re-connection.
Let’s rebuild from the inside out. 🌿

Your V***a & Pelvic Floor: What You Need to Know

At Root to Rise, we often see how closely the v***a and pelvic floor are connected.
Issues like v***ar irritation, dryness, or pain with intimacy can create muscle tension in the pelvic floor… and pelvic floor dysfunction can also worsen v***ar symptoms.

In our new blog, we cover:
✔️ a quick v***a anatomy guide
✔️ how v***ar health impacts urinary + sexual function
✔️ ways pelvic floor therapy can help- from muscle release to v***ar self-care education

If you’ve been struggling with v***ar discomfort, leakage, or pelvic floor tension, know that you don’t have to live with it. Our team in Scarborough, S**o, and Bath, Maine is here to help you feel like yourself again.
