Our approach to pelvic floor occupational therapy is designed to support your body’s unique needs through a comprehensive, holistic lens. Whether you're managing pelvic pain, addressing incontinence, or recovering from childbirth, our therapy focuses on the mind-body connection, functional movement, and daily activities to restore balance and promote long-term health. Pelvic floor occupational therapy emphasizes your daily function and overall lifestyle. We focus on the integration of pelvic health into all aspects of your life, addressing how your body moves, reacts to stress, and handles the demands of daily activities.

Each session begins with a personalized consultation to understand your history and current symptoms, followed by a detailed assessment of your pelvic floor, posture, and overall function. Using gentle, hands-on techniques like myofascial release, soft tissue manipulation, and sensory integration, we work to reduce restrictions and improve coordination of the pelvic region, allowing you to move with ease and comfort.

Beyond manual therapy, we take a holistic approach by considering factors like emotional health, lifestyle habits, and ergonomic adjustments in your home and workplace. We empower you with breathing techniques, activities, and daily strategies to integrate pelvic floor care into your everyday routine. This helps not only in symptom relief but also in creating a sustainable path toward improved overall function and well-being.
