Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy in Durham
We provide long term solutions so you can get back to feeling like yourself again without pain or symptoms.
It’s more than “Just do Kegels”.
Pelvic Floor dysfunctions are common and affect all genders. However, just because these things are common, doesn’t mean you have to live with it.
The pelvic floor doesn’t function separate from the rest of the body so it shouldn’t be treated that way! We utilize a holistic approach and take into account the way your body moves as a whole in addition to your lifestyle & preferences.
We integrate pelvic health treatment to help our patients not only get back to day to day living but participate in the fitness and activities they love to do most!
We provide you with education on your body and issues in order to provide you with a long term solution.
It doesn’t matter your gender or age, it’s never too late!

2) Build a Foundation
We build you a custom program to target the root cause, improve your movement patterns and build functional strength in ways that mimic your everyday life and activities.

What Does a Session Look Like?
Your first session will start with a comprehensive evaluation that includes a thorough medical and injury history. Next, your Doctor of Physical Therapy will take you through a movement exam which includes strength testing and a joint specific mobility assessment. Depending on your specific issues an internal pelvic floor muscle assessment may be recommended, however this is ALWAYS up to you and we will never force you into an examination or treatment technique you do not feel comfortable with. Finally, you will be thoroughly educated on exactly what is causing & contributing to your issues and your PT will lay our your individualized plan of care.
Follow up sessions are patient specific but may include hands on work to help relieve pain and restore better movement. This includes treatments such as dry needling, cupping, soft tissue mobilization, active release or myofascial work. You will also be taken through specific exercises to retrain your movement patterns and build strength.
