How Physical Therapists Treat Pelvic Pain 

Evidence shows that pelvic floor problems can be successfully treated with a personalized program designed and managed by a trained clinician. Upon a complete evaluation, a treatment plan may include:  

• Soft and deep tissue therapy and joint mobilization and manipulation to help increase your mobility and reduce pain 

• Stretches and strength exercises to help retrain your muscles in and around the pelvic area, and to increase blood flow and tissue function in the pelvis 

• Education to accurately identify and use the muscles in and around your pelvis 

• Dry needling to stimulate trigger points and knots within your muscles and reduce pain, muscle tension, and dysfunction in the muscle 

• Balance training to improve your steadiness as you move through in your daily activities
