Nurture Women’s Health & Fertility offers pelvic floor PT near Santa Cruz, CA, and the surrounding areas. Pelvic floor health and function are essential for women’s health. We are passionate about helping women recover from chronic pain and discomfort.

Understanding the Importance Of Pelvic Floor PT

Chronic pain and discomfort in the pelvic area indicate reduced pelvic health. Pregnancy, injury, childbirth, and other factors can alter the pelvic region. Many women experience weakened muscles that cause incontinence, prolapse, or other health issues.

Our physical therapist offers a specialized form of physical therapy that can help optimize overall health. Pelvic floor PT focuses on the tissues, muscles, and ligaments associated with the pelvic floor. We create customized plans that address and help prevent common disorders:

  • Painful intercourse - Nerve irritation, muscle tension, or tight connective tissue can trigger painful intercourse. PT can help alleviate this issue.

  • Tailbone bone - tailbone pain can increase lower back pain and other forms of discomfort. Our physical therapist will use target exercises to address alignment issues and ease pain.

Commonly Asked Questions

  • Prolapse - Weakened muscles can occur when pelvic organs drop. Menopause, childbirth, and aging are common causes of prolapse. 

  • Urinary incontinence - An overactive bladder can hinder your physical health. Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles can prevent this issue from interfering with daily life.

Our physical therapist, Alex Beaudoin, is passionate about providing customized therapy plans. These plans often include manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, and body mechanics. She is dedicated to supporting women on their health and wellness journeys.

  • Many factors affect pelvic health and function. If you’re suffering from any of the above issues, physical therapy can help. We can address urinary incontinence, painful sex, chronic pain, and other pelvic floor concerns. Our physical therapist, Alex Beaudoin, will assess your symptoms and create a plan to get your health back on track. 

  • We aim to provide comprehensive and excellent care for each patient. Our physical therapist will ask questions about your medical history and current health needs during your first session. She will conduct a physical examination and create a detailed treatment plan to help restore your health and wellness.  

  • Many patients notice an improvement within the first few weeks of PT. We understand everyone will have a different experience with physical therapy. Most women need about 10-12 therapy sessions to regain function and mobility. Our physical therapist will work closely with you and create a schedule that meets your needs.
