PELVIC & HIP PAIN

Did you know that the pelvic floor muscles can sometimes refer pain to the hips, groin, and low back? If you are dealing with nagging pain in your pelvis or hips and it hasn’t gone away with traditional PT, we can help. If you have pelvic or hip pain accompanied by symptoms that are related to pelvic floor dysfunction like, bladder or bowel leakage, it is best you have an exam by a pelvic floor therapist to check the pelvic floor muscles to treat the entire problem.

Common diagnoses of the pelvis and hip that we treat:

  • Pelvic pain

    • Dyspareunia

    • Vulvodynia

    • Vaginismus

    • Pudendal neuralgia

  • Endometriosis

  • Pelvic Organ Prolapse

  • Constipation

  • Abdominal Pain

  • Post Op: hysterectomies, pelvic reconstruction, and abdominal surgeries

  • Painful Periods

  • Hip Impingement

  • IT Band Pain

  • Pubic Symphysis Dysfunction

  • SI Joint Pain

A pelvic floor muscle exam will give us a lot of information about what is happening with the pelvic floor muscles and we will develop a treatment plan to get rid of the pain for good. During the pelvic floor muscle exam, with consent, we assess the muscles by using a finger internally, either in the vagina or rectum. This gives us the best picture and helps us determine if the muscles are tight, weak, or have poor coordination, and then we can start with the best treatment plan specific to your pelvic floor or hip problem and to your goals!

START HEALING

We have a proven Movement Physio and Wellness 3-Step Method to help get rid of your pelvic floor or hip issue for good. The 3-Step Method works in three phases: Elongate, Elevate, and Empower.

 

ELONGATE.

 

We need to calm down the nervous system in order to reduce your pain and length tissues that are tight. We do this by incorporating breathwork and hands-on manual therapy techniques to get your muscles to relax. (Visits 1-4)

 

ELEVATE.

 

Once the tissues are calmed down and your pain is reduced, we will work on the brain to muscle connection and re-educate the muscles to fire the correct way. (Visits 5-8)

 

EMPOWER.

 

We work on functional strengthening of the muscles to help keep you strong and prevent this problem from returning again. We make sure you have all the “tools” in your “toolbox” so you feel empowered to take care of your body so you never experience this problem again! (Visits 9-12)

I love this place! She is putting my pelvis back together after years of not realizing there was an issue and that this is just the way it was. I am learning a whole new way to breathe and my hip pains and arthritis are slowly disappearing and getting better and I can't think this practice enough. Thank you thank you!
