Pelvic Floor Therapy

Chiropractic adjustments are gentle, targeted techniques used to restore proper motion in the spine and pelvis — especially important for those experiencing pelvic floor dysfunction.

By addressing joint restrictions and postural imbalances, these adjustments help reduce pressure on the pelvic floor and support better muscle coordination.

Benefits of Pelvic-Focused Chiropractic Care:

​

• Realign the sacrum, hips, and lumbar spine to support pelvic floor stability

• Improve nerve communication to pelvic organs and muscles

• Relieve pain in the lower back, hips, or tailbone (coccyx)

• Enhance posture and core-pelvic alignment, especially postpartum or post-surgery

​

Techniques used — such as Diversified, Thompson Drop, or Gonstead — are always adapted to your body, symptoms, and comfort level.

Therapeutic ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to penetrate deep into soft tissues. This modality promotes blood flow, reduces inflammation, and helps relax tight or overactive muscles — making it a valuable tool for pelvic health.

​

Benefits of Therapeutic Ultrasound:

​

• Accelerates healing of scar tissue (e.g., C-section, episiotomy, perineal tears)

• Relaxes pelvic floor muscles and surrounding fascia

• Eases pain from pelvic tension, deep hip discomfort, or muscle spasms

• Reduces inflammation in soft tissue injuries

This gentle, non-invasive treatment is especially helpful for those with:

​

• Chronic pelvic pain

• Post-surgical or postpartum scar tissue

• Trigger points in the pelvic or abdominal regions

Ultrasound can be used to prime the tissues for manual therapy and enhance the effects of pelvic floor retraining.

Pelvic floor muscle retraining teaches patients how to activate, relax, and coordinate the muscles that support the bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs. Many people unknowingly overuse or underuse these muscles, leading to dysfunction and discomfort.

​

This therapy is fully personalized and may include:

​

• 🎯 Verbal cueing

• 🖐️ Tactile feedback

• 🏃 Functional movement training

The goal is to help you build awareness, control, and proper muscle coordination.

​

Retraining may help with:

​

• Urinary or fecal incontinence

• Pelvic pain due to muscle overactivity

• Postpartum or post-surgical recovery

• Improved core and pelvic stability for movement and exercise

• Timing muscle activation during lifting, breathing, or bowel movements

Pelvic floor retraining is a cornerstone of most treatment plans and is always customized to your unique symptoms, anatomy, and progress over time.

Biofeedback is a technique that gives real-time feedback about pelvic floor muscle activity. It helps patients develop better control and awareness by showing whether the muscles are contracting or relaxing as intended.

​

Biofeedback is ideal for:

​

• Learning to isolate and coordinate pelvic floor muscles

• Treating incontinence and core instability

• Managing pelvic floor overactivity or spasms

• Supporting nervous system retraining in cases of chronic pain

It empowers patients with greater confidence and independence by helping them see and feel how their pelvic floor is functioning.

Soft tissue therapy plays a key role in relieving muscular tension, improving mobility, and reducing pain around the pelvic floor. These techniques are particularly helpful for clients experiencing tight hip flexors, deep pelvic muscle tension, or myofascial pain syndromes.

​

We use manual techniques to:

​

• Reduce tension in the pelvic girdle muscles (e.g., piriformis, glutes, adductors, hip flexors)

• Address myofascial trigger points contributing to pelvic, hip, or abdominal pain

• Improve blood flow and flexibility in surrounding tissues

• Release scar tissue from childbirth, surgery (like C-section or hysterectomy), or trauma

Our methods include:

​

• Orthopedic soft tissue massage

• IASTM (Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization)

• Myofascial release techniques tailored to the pelvic region

These therapies help create the optimal environment for pelvic floor retraining by improving joint mobility, relieving pain, and restoring functional movement patterns.

Electrical stimulation uses low-level electrical impulses to activate nerves and muscles, helping retrain underactive or poorly coordinated pelvic floor muscles.

In pelvic health, E-Stim is often used for urinary incontinence, pelvic floor weakness, or nerve-related pelvic pain.

​

Pelvic-focused E-Stim can help:

​

• Strengthen weak pelvic floor muscles

• Improve timing and coordination during contraction and relaxation

• Reduce nerve sensitivity contributing to pelvic pain

• Support muscle activation for those struggling to feel pelvic engagement

This modality is always used with clinical guidance and adjusted to your comfort level and therapeutic goals.

The pelvic floor is part of your deep core system, which also includes the diaphragm, transverse abdominis, and deep spinal stabilizers. These systems work together to support posture, pressure regulation, and movement.

​

Breathwork and core coordination training helps you learn how to engage these systems in sync — improving functional movement, stability, and healing.

​

This approach focuses on:

​

• Diaphragmatic (360°) breathing to balance intra-abdominal pressure

• Breath-pelvic floor coordination for controlled engagement and release

• Safe return to exercise and daily activities after injury or birth

• Reducing bracing and compensatory habits that may cause pain or dysfunction

This work is especially valuable for:

​

• Postpartum recovery

• Athletic performance

• Pelvic pain linked to poor breathing or core dysfunction

By restoring proper pressure management and core synergy, this therapy can reduce strain, improve posture, and enhance daily function.
