Helen Kim Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy

Women seek pelvic floor physical therapy for a variety of reasons. Some are looking to reduce those embarrassing and worrisome leaks that can happen with a cough, sneeze, laugh, or exercise after having a baby. Women who have had a long labor, difficult delivery, or a cesarean section will also experience pain from scar tissue formation and trauma to the pelvic floor muscles. Others present with pain in the pelvis, upper legs, abdomen, and buttocks that may be due to tight pelvic floor muscles or underlying medical conditions. All of the conditions described can greatly affect their personal lives and relationships. Each situation requires different treatment and I am a women’s health physical therapist trained to provide specialized care that will improve your pelvic floor health. Click the title to learn more.
As a pelvic floor physical therapist, I frequently encounter men experiencing pelvic pain, and there can be different triggers or causes of pain. Hernias, nerve entrapment, straining caused by constipation, stress, injuries to the pelvis or lower extremities, or overdoing it at the gym can lead to tightness and pain of the pelvic floor muscles. Men also present with complaints of pain with ejaculation, urinary urgency, weak urinary flow, or testicular pain. These symptoms are often associated with Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS).
