Your pelvic floor is strong. It’s just tired of doing your glutes’ job too!

When your glutes are underactive (or MIA altogether), your body doesn’t just stop moving, but it finds other ways to get the job done. The inner thighs take over. The low back pitches in. And your pelvic floor has no choice but to start working overtime to keep things stable.

Over time, this creates imbalances that lead to symptoms like leaking, heaviness, hip pain, low back pain, and more.

The fix? Stop asking your pelvic floor to do it all. Start retraining your glutes to show up and support you the way they’re meant to.

When each muscle group pulls its weight, your pelvic floor can finally stop clenching, overcompensating, and reacting to every movement, and start functioning the way it was designed to.

SIT BONE PAIN? It’s not just your hamstring!

If your sitting bones feel bruised, achy, or just plain irritated when you sit, especially on hard surfaces, it’s time to dig deeper.👇

Sit bone pain (aka ischial tuberosity pain) has many possible causes:�

✔️ Tight pelvic floor muscles
✔️ Pudendal, Posterior Femoral Cutaneous nerve, or sciatic nerve irritation
✔️ Hamstring tendinopathy
✔️ Bursitis, trigger points, and more

…and sometimes, it’s a combo of all of the above.

We specialize in solving complex pain that others miss… especially when it comes to the deep pelvic floor and nerve entrapments most providers overlook.💡

If sitting hurts, your body is trying to tell you something. Don’t ignore it!!

Save this post. Share it with someone who needs answers. And if you're ready to sit comfortably again, we can help.

Did you know that your pelvic floor muscles are directly attached your hip muscles?

That’s right, the hip bone is connected to the pelvic bone and the pelvic floor muscles are connected to one of your hip muscles: the Obturator Internus (OI)!

If the OI becomes strained, tight or weak you may experience:

❌Pain in the outside of the hip
❌Pain with sitting
❌Deep pelvic pain
❌Lower abdominal pain
❌Groin pain
❌Urinary urgency/frequency
❌Urinary leakage
❌Sexual dysfunction

Restoring mobility and function of the OI, pelvic floor, and other hip muscles can help to resolve your pain and get you back to doing all the things you enjoy.

Swipe through to learn how the hips are connected to the pelvic floor. 💜

Front of the hip hurting? It might be your nerves.

Not all anterior hip pain is from muscles or joints. Sometimes, it’s nerve-related and often overlooked. Here are a few key players:⁣

🧠 Genitofemoral nerve – sharp or aching pain in the groin, inner thigh, or testicle/labia.⁣
🧠 Ilioinguinal nerve – pain or tingling along the groin crease, often after surgery or injury.⁣
🧠 Iliohypogastric nerve – discomfort near the lower belly or side of the hip.⁣
🧠 Femoral nerve – pain or weakness in the front of the thigh.⁣
🧠 Perineal nerve – sitting pain that wraps to the front of the pelvis.⁣

If your hip pain isn’t improving with stretching or strengthening, it might be time to look deeper. Nerves matter!

What does pelvic pain look like in men?

It’s more common than you think… and often overlooked.

Men with pelvic pain are frequently dismissed, misdiagnosed, or too uncomfortable to speak up. But the symptoms are real and deserve attention.

A few symptoms we see often in the clinic are:

🔹 Groin pain (that isn’t a hernia)
🔹 Testicular pain that comes and goes or feels deep and hard to localize
🔹 Low back pain that doesn’t resolve with standard care
🔹 Sitting pain that worsens over time or radiates into the perineum

These symptoms can signal pelvic floor dysfunction, nerve irritation, or chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS). Too often, men are told “it’s just in your head” or “it’s normal for your age.”

💙 This June, for Men’s Health Month, let’s break the silence around male pelvic pain. Real pain deserves real answers, and pelvic floor therapy can help.

Continuing on the theme of posterior hip pain, lets dive into the nerves!

Posterior hip pain isn’t always coming from the muscles or joints, it could be the nerves too!

A thorough assessment should consider:

🔹 Cluneal nerves: can mimic SI joint or glute pain
🔹 Pudendal nerve: think burning, tingling, or pressure in the perineum
🔹 Posterior femoral cutaneous nerve: causes posterior thigh burning/numbness
🔹 Sciatic nerve: not just sciatica – track its full path
🔹 Pelvic splanchnic nerves: linked to pelvic organ pain/dysfunction
🔹 Obturator nerve: medial thigh pain, especially during movement
🔹 Superior/inferior gluteal nerves: motor nerves that affect glute strength and pain
🔹 Lateral femoral cutaneous nerve: may refer pain laterally but radiate posteriorly

Nerve pain can be elusive. Look past the obvious to get to the root.

Stay tuned as this differential diagnosis series continues! 🕵️‍♀️🧠⚡

Trying to figure out what’s behind your stubborn glute or posterior hip pain?

It’s not always straightforward… and often, it’s not just about the hip.

This area is a busy crossroads for multiple structures that can mimic each other when irritated or overloaded. Some common culprits include:

– Lumbar spine referral
– Hip joint pathology
– Obturator internus (a deep pelvic floor muscle)
– Adductor tendinopathy
– Ischiofemoral impingement
– Pudendal neuralgia
– Sacral stress fracture
– SI joint pain
– Gluteal tendinopathy
– Piriformis syndrome

Many of these diagnoses can overlap with pelvic floor dysfunction. Why? Because the hip, pelvis, and pelvic floor are structurally and functionally linked.

For example, a tight obturator internus or overloaded adductor may affect pelvic floor muscle tension or coordination—contributing to symptoms like tailbone pain, pelvic pressure, or even pain with s*x or sitting.

Pain in this region varies person to person. It might show up as sit bone pain, deep buttock ache, pinching with hip movement, or nerve-like symptoms. And while it’s tempting to chase the exact pain spot, location alone rarely tells the full story.

A thorough pelvic PT evaluation considers all of this, helping you uncover the true driver, rather than just treating symptoms.

If you’ve been stuck in a cycle of glute pain and pelvic discomfort, don’t give up. There is a way through. It starts with zooming out and looking at the whole picture.

Pelvic Congestion Syndrome (PCS) is one of the most overlooked causes of chronic pelvic pain… and it's time we talk about it.

Many patients go years without answers, dismissed or misdiagnosed along the way. But PCS is real, complex, and deserving of proper care.

At our clinic, we recognize the patterns, listen closely, and treat holistically. With pelvic floor therapy and a multidisciplinary approach, there is a path forward. 💜

Your pain is valid. Your voice matters. And you're not alone.

If you are a Pelvic Floor PT/OT, this needs to be on your radar as a differential diagnosis if your patients are not getting better.

If you are a patient and you believe you may have this condition, bring this post to your providers and advocate strongly for yourself that this should be part of your differential diagnosis!
