Found at the base of the pelvis, the pelvic floor can have a variety of dysfunctions that cause pain and other problems with the bladder, the bowel or sexual function. Problems can also develop during pregnancy from changes to the growing belly, an increase in hormones and changes in posture. A variety of pain syndromes, muscle dysfunction and problems with alignment can result.

Physical therapy can help by reducing pain in your pelvic area and improving your overall function.
