Understanding Pelvic Pain: Causes and Symptoms

Pelvic pain often shows up as aching, burning, or sharp discomfort in the lower abdomen, hips, or pelvic floor. It affects both men and women and may be sudden or long-lasting. One of the most overlooked causes? Pelvic floor muscle tension. These muscles may be tight, restricted, or unable to relax—causing pain during sitting, intimacy, exercise, or even rest.

Contributing factors include muscle incoordination, pregnancy-related changes, scar tissue from surgery, digestive issues like IBS or constipation, and postural or movement dysfunction. These patterns create a cycle of guarding, restriction, and pain. Our job is to break that cycle by calming the nervous system, improving mobility, and releasing deeply held tension—so your body can heal from the inside out.

Who Can Benefit from Pelvic Pain Therapy?

Many people benefit from pelvic floor therapy—especially those who:

• Experience pain during sitting, sex, or bowel movements due to tight, uncoordinated muscles
• Are recovering from childbirth and dealing with lingering muscle tension or imbalance
• Have had abdominal or pelvic surgeries and are dealing with scar tissue or guarding patterns
• Hold chronic tension in the hips, glutes, or abdomen due to stress
• Are athletes or active individuals struggling with overuse-related tension or pain

If you’ve been told to “just live with it,” we want you to know there’s another way.

Why Consider Pelvic Floor Therapy?

Pelvic floor issues aren’t always about weakness. In many cases, it’s about excessive gripping or a lack of relaxation. Over time, this constant tension can disrupt function, trigger pain, and interfere with daily life. That’s why we focus on helping your muscles release, your breath reconnect, and your body move with ease—not strain.

What to Expect in Therapy

We create a calm, supportive space for healing, starting with:

• Comprehensive Assessment: We assess posture, breathing, pelvic tone, and core coordination to understand the whole-body picture—not just where it hurts.
• Customized Plan: Every person receives a tailored program that may include internal release, breathwork, hip mobility, and nervous system regulation.
• Ongoing Support: As your body adapts, we adapt with it—reassessing often, staying responsive, and guiding you every step of the way.

Pelvic Floor Therapy Treatments We Use

Our treatment approach is rooted in gentle, effective techniques that help your body unwind and re-learn healthy movement. Some of the most effective methods include:

• Pelvic Floor Release: Both internal and external techniques help reduce muscle tightness and connective tissue tension.
• Manual Therapy: We use myofascial release, trigger point work, and gentle stretching to ease restriction and improve circulation.
• Breathwork + Coordination Drills: Reconnecting the diaphragm and pelvic floor helps reduce clenching and promote smooth movement.
• Postural + Movement Retraining: Better alignment reduces unconscious bracing and helps the body share workload more efficiently.

We don’t just aim for relief—we build resilience.

What Results Can You Expect?

When the pelvic floor is too tight or out of sync with your core, pain often follows. We help restore rhythm and fluidity so you can:

• Relieve Tension: Feel lighter, more mobile, and less restricted
• Improve Coordination: Move without gripping or bracing
• Rebuild Confidence: Learn how to support your core naturally
• Prevent Recurrence: Walk away with tools for stress, posture, and movement
