Pelvic Floor Therapy in Trinity, Odessa and Greater Tampa Bay
Therapy for women dealing with bladder and bowel incontinence, pelvic pain, prolapse, postpartum recovery, and sexual health
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles, nerves, and connective tissue at the base of your pelvis. It controls your bladder and bowel, supports your core and organs, and plays a role in sexual function, pregnancy, and postpartum recovery. When something is off, your symptoms can show up anywhere from lower back pain and urinary leaking to painful sex and constipation.
Pelvic floor therapy addresses those symptoms at the root. We offer hands-on, movement-based therapeutic care that looks at how your whole body is working together, not just the area where you feel pain or discomfort. Women of all ages come to us for help, not just those who have recently given birth.

Common Questions
-
Your first visit starts with a conversation about your history and goals, followed by a physical assessment. If you consent, we complete a pelvic floor muscle evaluation to understand your strength and coordination. You will leave with a clear plan and specific things to work on before your next visit.
-
Pelvic floor therapy is a specialized form of occupational therapy that assesses and treats the muscles, connective tissue, and movement patterns of the pelvis and surrounding areas. A session includes a conversation about your history and symptoms, an assessment of your posture, core strength, and movement mechanics, and an internal pelvic floor muscle assessment if you consent. You leave with a clear understanding of what is going on and a specific plan to address it.
-
No. Pelvic floor therapy is for women at every age and stage of life. We see women for chronic pelvic pain, bladder and bowel dysfunction, sexual health concerns, menstrual disorders, perimenopause symptoms, and more. Pregnancy and postpartum are common entry points but they are far from the only ones.
-
No. Urinary leaking after birth is common but it has causes and those causes can be treated. Pelvic floor therapy addresses the specific muscle function, coordination, and movement patterns behind leaking. Most clients see significant improvement with consistent treatment.
-
Your first postpartum visit starts with a full assessment of where your body is after birth. That includes your core, your pelvic floor, your posture, and any specific concerns you have whether that is diastasis recti, perineal pain, prolapse symptoms, or returning to exercise. You leave with a clear plan and specific things to work on. Recovery looks different for every woman and we build around your goals, not a generic timeline.
-
Yes. Cesarean birth does not bypass the pelvic floor. Pregnancy itself places significant load on the pelvic floor regardless of how you deliver. Cesarean recovery also involves scar tissue management, core rehabilitation, and addressing the movement compensations that develop after abdominal surgery. All of this falls within the scope of pelvic floor therapy.
-
Not necessarily. Pelvic organ prolapse is commonly managed conservatively with pelvic floor therapy before surgery is considered. Therapy addresses the muscle function, pressure management, and movement patterns that contribute to prolapse symptoms. Many women experience significant symptom relief without surgical intervention. We can assess your specific situation and give you a clear picture of your options.
-
Yes. Painful intercourse after birth is one of the most common reasons women come to us and one of the most undertreated. It is most often related to pelvic floor muscle tension, scar tissue, hormonal changes, or nerve sensitivity. All of these are within the scope of what we assess and treat. You do not have to avoid the conversation or accept it as part of postpartum life.
-
That depends on what you are dealing with, how long it has been going on, and how your body responds to treatment. Most clients have a clearer picture after their first evaluation. What we can tell you is that you will leave your first visit with a specific plan and a realistic sense of what your care will look like, including how many visits to expect and what progress should look like along the way.
