What is Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy?
Pelvic floor physical therapy is a specialized approach to restoring strength, flexibility, and coordination in the muscles that support the bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs. It additionally helps improve nerve and connective tissue mobility through the abdominal and pelvic area. Through gentle manual therapy, targeted exercises, and patient education, it helps relieve pain, improve function, and support long-term wellness. In Beverly Hills, Culver City, and Santa Monica, patients turn to pelvic floor therapy not only for symptom relief but also for guidance on posture, daily habits, and lifestyle changes that promote lasting pelvic health. Many also find it beneficial for recovery after childbirth, surgery, or menopause-related changes. By addressing both the root causes and daily impacts of pelvic dysfunction, therapy empowers patients to move with confidence and enjoy a better quality of life.

Conditions Treated with Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy
At Femina PT, we specialize in treating a wide range of pelvic floor conditions. Patients in Culver City, Santa Monica, and surrounding areas benefit from evidence-based care tailored to their unique needs, including:
1. Urinary Incontinence—one of the most common pelvic floor conditions we treat at Femina PT, can greatly affect daily life but is highly responsive to therapy. Our specialists address stress incontinence (leakage with coughing, sneezing, or activity), urge incontinence (sudden, intense urges with leakage), and postpartum incontinence (bladder leakage after childbirth), helping patients regain control and lasting confidence.
2. Pelvic Organ Prolapse—occurs when the bladder, uterus, or rectum shifts from its normal position due to weakened pelvic floor support, often causing pressure, discomfort, or a feeling of heaviness. At Femina PT, we offer nonsurgical management through targeted therapy, strengthening, and education to reduce symptoms, improve stability, and support long-term pelvic health. We are the only physical therapy practice in Los Angeles that does functional pessary fittings for pelvic organ prolapse.
3. Chronic pelvic pain—often linked to conditions like endometriosis, interstitial cystitis, pelvic floor dysfunction, or scar tissue- can disrupt daily life, intimacy, and overall well-being. At Femina PT, we use gentle, evidence-based techniques such as manual therapy, Softwave shockwave therapy, relaxation training, and targeted exercises to release tension, restore balance, and reduce discomfort for lasting relief. Chronic pelvic pain is one of the most common diagnoses we see at Femina PT.
4. Postpartum Recovery—After childbirth, many women experience changes in pelvic floor strength, core stability, and overall function. At Femina PT, our specialized programs help restore strength, address concerns like diastasis recti, pain, and leakage, and guide a safe return to exercise and daily activities while supporting long-term pelvic health.
5. Sexual Health & Dysfunction—Pelvic floor dysfunction can contribute to issues such as painful intercourse, vaginal tightness, or pelvic pain during intimacy. At Femina PT, we provide discreet, compassionate care with customized exercises, manual therapy, and education to relieve discomfort, improve function, and restore confidence in intimate relationships.
