Pelvic Floor Muscle Dysfunction and symptoms are often poorly screened by healthcare providers and patients may be too embarrassed to speak up about these concerns. Many mistakenly assume symptoms are normal, so they suffer silently. Few will seek out information and discover services available, but the final barrier is lack of access to a Pelvic Therapist. Newton's first law states a body is at rest will remain at rest unless it is acted upon by an external force, a body in motion will stay in motion.
Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy is a specialized area of practice that focuses on the bowl-shaped muscles at the bottom of the pelvis “the pelvic floor”. Over 80% of women will suffer from pelvic muscle dysfunction in their lifetime (dysfunction is also found in men and children). Muscle imbalances in the pelvic floor can contribute to embarrassing symptoms such as urinary or bowel leakage, pelvic organ prolapse, painful intercourse, back pain, and pelvic pain to name a few.

"Loved Dr. Stephanie! She is very comprehensive in her approach and looks at alignment and flexibility and other parts of the body as pertains to pelvic floor strength, dysfunction, and function. She is personable and caring but also professional and very timely! I would 10/10 recommend going to Inertia PT for anyone who has any concerns or questions about the pelvic floor (especially post partum)!"
Our practice utilizes a patient centered approach to care. All sessions are performed in a individual treatment room, and patients will work with the same Skilled Pelvic Therapist throughout their entire plan of care.
