Compassionate pelvic floor care for every stage of life

Your pelvic health matters

A whole-person approach to women’s health and pelvic floor physical therapy

From menarche to menopause—and beyond—pelvic floor conditions can have a major impact on daily life. At Knox Physical Therapy, we see you as a person, not a set of symptoms. If you are experiencing pain or discomfort in your pelvis, our team works to understand the cause and help you return to the activities you love.

Women’s health conditions we treat

Pelvic floor therapy can help address a wide range of concerns
Bowel Incontinence

Pelvic floor rehabilitation, specialized core exercise, and hands-on techniques can help improve control and quality of life.

Urinary Incontinence

Leaking urine is common, but it is not something you have to simply live with. Pelvic therapy can help restore control.

Constipation & IBS

Individualized care may include abdominal colon massage training, toileting strategies, muscle training, and myofascial release.

Endometriosis

Pelvic rehabilitation and visceral manipulation can help address pain, bloating, mobility, and core function.

Pelvic Organ Prolapse

Care focuses on reducing discomfort and improving pelvic muscle strength after childbirth, constipation, or other contributors.

Dyspareunia

Pain during intercourse is not normal. Treatment can address muscle tension, alignment, scar tissue, nerves, and mobility.

How pelvic floor therapy can help

Strengthen, stretch, retrain, and better understand your pelvic floor

The pelvic floor is a band of muscles that supports the bladder, bowels, and uterus. Like other muscles, it can become weak, overactive, tight, or poorly coordinated. Your therapist will provide a safe, discreet setting to discuss symptoms, evaluate contributing factors, and build a care plan around your needs.

Education & Home Exercise

Learn about your condition and receive simple exercises and strategies you can use at home.

Hands-On Care

Treatment may include manual therapy, massage, myofascial work, and visceral manipulation when appropriate.

Additional Support

When needed, care may also include electrical stimulation, biofeedback, and pain-management solutions.
