Find a Pelvic Floor PT for Chronic Pelvic Pain
Chronic pelvic pain — pain lasting longer than 3-6 months in the pelvic region — often goes undiagnosed for years. Pelvic floor PTs are trained to identify musculoskeletal contributors to pelvic pain that other providers miss. If you've been told your pain is "normal" or "in your head," a pelvic floor PT can offer a different answer.

What causes pelvic pain that PT can help with?
Pelvic floor muscle tension, trigger points, nerve sensitization, scar tissue from surgeries or childbirth, hip and tailbone dysfunction, and bladder irritability are all musculoskeletal contributors that PT addresses.
How many sessions does chronic pelvic pain take?
Chronic pelvic pain typically requires more sessions than acute conditions — often 12-20 over 3-5 months. It's a complex condition and progress can be nonlinear. Patients who commit to home program compliance typically see the best outcomes.
Can I see a pelvic floor PT while also working with a gynecologist?
Yes — and this is often ideal. Pelvic floor PT addresses the musculoskeletal component while your gynecologist addresses the underlying condition. Many pelvic PTs actively coordinate with referring physicians.
