Pelvic floor physical therapy is a specialized type of physical therapy that focuses on the muscles, ligaments, and nerves in the pelvic area. It can help address issues such as incontinence, constipation, pelvic pain, and sexual dysfunction.

Anyone experiencing pelvic pain, incontinence, or sexual dysfunction can benefit from pelvic floor physical therapy. This includes men, women, and transgender individuals of all ages.

During your first appointment, your physical therapist will conduct a comprehensive evaluation to assess your symptoms, medical history, and physical condition. They may also perform an internal exam, with your consent, to assess the strength, flexibility and function of your pelvic floor muscles.

While some discomfort may be experienced during an internal exam, pelvic floor physical therapy should not be painful. Your physical therapist will work with you to ensure that you are comfortable throughout the process.

At Little Antz Physical Therapy a typical pelvic floor physical therapy session lasts about 55-60 minutes. The frequency and duration of your sessions will depend on your individual needs and treatment goals.

Results from pelvic floor physical therapy can vary depending on the individual and their condition. Some people may see improvements in just a few sessions, while others may require several months of therapy to achieve their goals.

Pelvic floor physical therapy is typically covered by insurance, but it is important to check with your specific insurance provider to confirm coverage.
