What is Pelvic Pain Treatment?

Pelvic pain can strike out of the blue without warning, and then color your entire day! Whether you’re trying to carry your shopping home or enjoy a run, shooting pains or dull aches in your pelvic area can be incredibly painful, and often persistent.

  • Dull and cramping pains that can feel like knotting or pulling
  • Throbbing pains that come and go
  • Pain when moving around, whether that’s training at the gym, running for the metro, or just standing up from your office chair.
  • You might also experience pain in other day-to-day activities, such as when going to the toilet or during sexual intercourse.
  • You may feel pressure or pain in your genitals, tailbone, rectum, or lower abdomen
  • Some patients also get pain radiating into their lower back or hips.
  • If you have a cycle, you may find pelvic pain gets worse when you menstruate.

No one should live with these kinds of pelvic pain symptoms, and your pelvic pain therapist in Philadelphia is ready to help!

When you’re struggling with pelvic pain in Philadelphia, your pelvic pain specialist is ready to help at Rebalance PT. We take a structured and diagnostic approach that begins with a warm welcome at our clinic in Philadelphia, ensuring you feel comfortable and relaxed.

 

Your physical therapist will take a complete medical history and carry out a gentle, thorough assessment to ascertain the nature and source of the pain. We utilize cutting-edge diagnostics to carefully and accurately pinpoint imbalances and issues in the body’s alignment, enabling us to identify the root cause of pain and determine whether it originates in the pelvis or is being referred from another part of the body.

 

Once we have diagnosed the underlying cause of your pelvic pain, your RebalancePT physical therapist will offer a tailored program of treatment options to deliver the best possible results.

Our treatments are natural, gentle, and completely effective — we don’t yank, bend, or force! Our pelvic pain treatments include:

 

  • Manual Therapy: We’re proud to be a 100% manual therapy practice at RebalancePT. With manual therapy, skilled physical therapists use their hands to gently assess and manipulate joints and tissues. This improves function and range of motion and decreases pain.

 

  • Biofeedback: This is a highly effective treatment for pelvic floor dysfunction. It uses sensors that help train the brain and body to work together and relearn how to control specific bodily functions, such as unwanted muscle tension or poor breathing techniques.

 

  • Breathing Retraining: Also known as breathwork, your RebalancePT physical therapist in Philadelphia is skilled in breathing techniques. We teach patients how to breathe efficiently and correctly so that the body works as it is meant to, without tension, stress, or anxiety. Many clients are amazed to discover that their pelvic pain issues are eased by better breathing!

Our physical therapy team is a completely 100% manual therapy practice. We are also proven! Many patients come to us when they have been unable to find meaningful results elsewhere.

We have two office locations, in Narberth and Center City, conveniently located near the Main Line.

Your Philadelphia physical therapist will assess your condition carefully to tailor a bespoke plan of treatments. We aim to bring meaningful results in the shortest possible time. Often, patients start to see and feel improvements in a matter of weeks.

Alongside our manual therapy approach, you may be offered additional proven and non-invasive physical therapy services at Rebalance PT, including pelvic floor therapy, cold laser treatment, joint mobilization, hypopressives, therapeutic yoga, myofascial release, dry needling and pain management services. These are used to enhance the results and speed of your treatment program for the best possible results.
