What is the Pelvic Floor?
The pelvic floor is group of hammock-like muscles that are in the pelvis and are involved with peeing, pooping, and having sex-for everyone. The key is that there are several pelvic muscles and they have to coordinate together to support normal function. Sometimes things go awry. The pelvic floor could be too tense/tight, or lack good coordination during movement, or be weak-any or all of these could cause pelvic floor symptoms and can be helped by physical therapy. If the muscles of the pelvic floor aren't coordinating with the muscles outside your pelvis—core, hips, etc—it can result in hip or low back pain.
While these issues are common, they are not “just something you have to live with.”
Pelvic floor physical therapy can re-train all the muscles to work in harmony together.

“Pelvic health treatment can be sensitive and vulnerable, but Chelsea has made me nothing but comfortable since the first day I met her.
I am still on my journey, but I’m at a place now where if I stick to my exercises each morning, I have almost no pain. I recently went on a 2 week international trip (which previously would have caused lots of pain from sitting on planes and being out of my normal routine), and I was completely fine. No pain, and so much gratitude! Thank you Chelsea!

“I’d been having trouble with UTIs and back pain for such a long time, and literally tried everything—urologists, gynecologists, doctors. I had doubts that my issue could be solved with PT because it almost always felt like it was something happening inside my body. Yet when I went to a number of doctors and none could pinpoint my issue, I finally gave in to the idea of trying physical therapy and I have no regrets!
I appreciate Kristin making me feel comfortable about my body. In the past, health care providers have made me uncomfortable when they’ve commented on my weight and how my issue is probably weight related. I did not experience this with Kristin, she has a great bedside manner and made me feel listened to as well as supported. She expressed that she’s always readily available to discuss anything related to my symptoms and has always been just a text message away.

“I would definitely recommend Kristin as a physical therapist. She is that rare blend of someone who really knows what they are doing and really cares about making a difference in her patient’s health and wellness.
I was diagnosed with a pinched nerve from a running injury and required specialized pelvic floor therapy. The results have been wonderful. Within three months, my symptoms reduced to a fraction of what they were, and I am able to begin ultra running again. After multiple doctors, physical therapists, and massage therapists I had begun to lose hope that non-surgical treatment could work. Kristin’s deep expertise and treatments helped to steer my overall care in the right direction and made one of the biggest contributions to my recovery. ”
