Your Roadmap to Pelvic Floor Wellness in Western Massachusetts

The reality is, many individuals simply endure pelvic pain, urinary leakage, symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse and constipation, resigning themselves to a life of discomfort. They wake up feeling restricted and struggle with pelvic floor issues that have persisted for years, eventually forgetting what it’s like to live life without bringing an extra pair of pants to the gym or being on the sideline at the trampoline park with the kids. It’s a powerful cycle. 

However, breaking free from the cycle isn’t easy.  Attempting to address pelvic floor issues on your own can be challenging and often ineffective. Sometimes, the solution isn’t as simple as stretching, doing kegels, or stopping the activities that you love–the problem persists. 

This is where pelvic floor physical therapy is invaluable. A Doctor of Physical Therapy specializing in pelvic health is uniquely equipped to help you overcome pelvic pain, bladder dysfunction, bowel dysfunction, pelvic organ prolapse, sexual dysfunction and more. Our Western Mass pelvic floor physical therapists have extensive clinical experience and education focused on the intricacies of the pelvic floor and human body. 

At Renew Health, we’re at the forefront of this movement. Our progressive approach to pelvic floor physical therapy empowers active adults to enjoy life to the fullest. If you’re an active adult facing pelvic floor issues or seeking to maintain your active lifestyle, this is for you! Keep reading to learn more. 


What Does a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist Do? 


A pelvic floor physical therapist evaluates your pelvic floor which may involve an external and/or internal examination to assess muscle strength, tone, flexibility, and coordination with your consent. Our pelvic floor therapists assess the whole body--the spine, hips, foot/ankle, posture, and breathing as a part of a comprehensive evaluation to identify potential contributing factors to pelvic floor dysfunction.

Unlike traditional approaches that solely focus on one body part at a time, we understand that pelvic floor issues can originate from various sources, such as the hips, lower back, and even the feet! Our evaluation leaves no stone unturned, providing clarity on the root causes of your symptoms and the necessary steps for resolution.
