A pelvic floor therapist, also known as a pelvic floor physical therapist, specializes in the evaluation and treatment of various conditions related to the pelvic region. These conditions can affect individuals of all genders, although they are more commonly associated with women. Conditions that a pelvic floor therapist may deal with include:

​1.​Pelvic Pain: Chronic or acute pelvic pain, which can have various underlying causes, such as musculoskeletal issues, endometriosis, or pelvic inflammatory disease.
​2.​Pelvic Floor Dysfunction: This encompasses a wide range of issues, including pelvic muscle overactivity or underactivity, which can lead to pain, incontinence, or difficulty with bowel movements.
​3.​Urinary Incontinence: Stress incontinence, urge incontinence, and mixed incontinence, which can result from pelvic floor weakness, injury, or dysfunction.
​4.​Fecal Incontinence: Loss of control over bowel movements, often associated with damage to the pelvic floor or anal sphincter muscles.
​5.​Pelvic Organ Prolapse: When the pelvic organs (e.g., bladder, uterus, rectum) descend into or outside of the vaginal canal due to weakened pelvic floor muscles and ligaments.
​6.​Dyspareunia: Pain during sexual intercourse, which can be related to muscle tension, scarring, or other pelvic issues.
​7.​Vulvodynia: Chronic vulvar pain that can be associated with pelvic floor muscle tension or dysfunction.
​8.​Vaginismus: Involuntary muscle contractions in the pelvic floor, leading to painful or impossible penetration during intercourse.
​9.​Pre- and Postpartum Concerns: Addressing pelvic pain, incontinence, and other issues related to pregnancy, childbirth, and recovery.
​10.​Prostate Conditions: In men, pelvic floor therapists can help with conditions like chronic prostatitis or post-prostatectomy incontinence.
​11.​Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome: A chronic bladder condition that can cause pelvic pain and urinary urgency.
​12.​Tailbone Pain (Coccydynia): Pain at the tailbone, often linked to pelvic floor muscle tension or injury.
​13.​Post-Surgical Recovery: Rehabilitation after pelvic surgeries, including hysterectomy, colorectal surgeries, or prostatectomy.

Pelvic floor therapists use a combination of techniques, such as manual therapy, exercises, biofeedback, and patient education, to help individuals manage and recover from these conditions. They aim to improve pelvic floor muscle function, reduce pain, and enhance overall quality of life. It’s important to consult with a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and to determine if pelvic floor therapy is appropriate for your specific condition.
