Physical Therapy for External Pelvic Floor Conditions
At Moreland Physical Therapy, we provide specialized care for individuals experiencing pain, dysfunction, or weakness related to the external pelvic floor muscles. These muscles play a vital role in core stability, posture, sexual health, and bladder and bowel control.
What Are External Pelvic Floor Muscles?
The external pelvic floor refers to the outer layer of muscles around the pelvis, hips, and lower abdominal region—including muscles like the gluteals, hip rotators, abdominals, and superficial perineal muscles. Tension or weakness in these areas can contribute to a wide range of symptoms.
Common Conditions We Treat
Our pelvic floor specialists address external pelvic floor issues related to:
- Pelvic or tailbone pain (coccygodynia)
- Hip and groin tightness or instability
- Painful intercourse (dyspareunia)
- Postural imbalances affecting pelvic alignment
- Athletic injuries related to pelvic or core dysfunction
- Scarring or muscle imbalances after abdominal or pelvic surgery
What to Expect During Treatment
Your physical therapist will begin with a thorough evaluation to assess:
- Posture, gait, and body mechanics
- Muscle tone, strength, and coordination of the hips, glutes, and core
- Breathing patterns and abdominal control
- Joint mobility and soft tissue restrictions
Treatment may include:
- Manual therapy for myofascial release and trigger point work
- Biofeedback and neuromuscular re-education
- Targeted exercises for hip, glute, and core strengthening
- Relaxation techniques and breathwork
A Personalized Approach to Healing
We understand how sensitive and complex pelvic floor issues can be. Our approach is always respectful, one-on-one, and tailored to your comfort level and goals.
