Virtual & Out of Town Patients
Pelvic challenges are often not openly discussed, and many healthcare providers are unaware of pelvic floor physical therapy or how it differs from traditional PT. With some therapists lacking experience or mentorship, progress can be slower. As a result, pelvic floor physical therapy remains a rare specialty that may be hard to find in your area.

What is Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy?
The muscles in your pelvis control bowel, bladder, and sexual function, staying active to keep you dry day and night. Trained pelvic floor physical therapists assess and treat the muscles, joints, nerves, and fascia in this region to improve strength, coordination, and reduce pain. With your written and verbal consent, your therapist may recommend a rectal or vaginal exam to assess internal structures. They’ll also address any contributing issues in the rest of your body. Pelvic floor therapy is one-on-one in a private room, where your concerns are heard and addressed.
How is a pelvic physical therapist different from other providers?
Pelvic floor physical therapists hold a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree and have advanced postgraduate training in the muscles, nerves, connective tissue, fascia, ligaments, and joints of the pelvis, hips, abdomen, and back. They are also skilled in performing detailed internal evaluations of the pelvic floor muscles. These therapists are educated in the complex interactions between the pelvic floor and the body's stabilizing system, as well as the digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems.
"I have loved my experience at Uplift and 100% recommend it! Dr. Lauren has been so helpful through the middle of my pregnancy and postpartum. She helped me get prepared for labor and I attribute my smooth labor and delivery to all the exercises she taught me! I really like that this practice is more holistic. She evaluates your lifestyle and how you move your body on a daily basis and how everything is tied together to promote healing. She makes you feel comfortable at each visit. Love her!"
