Pelvic Pain Treatment in Philadelphia

The pelvic pain specialists at Rebalance PT in Philadelphia treat all pelvic pain conditions, so you can move fully and freely, and live life without discomfort.

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. Pelvic pain can be caused by a number of conditions, which may be muscular, nerve-related, hormonal, or postpartum.

With so many possible underlying causes, it’s vital to get to the heart of the issue with an accurate diagnosis. We treat our patients holistically, evaluating the body and mind as a complete system, and then expertly bringing it back into pain-free balance. You don’t have to live with pelvic pain!

Christine at Rebalance PT is a miracle worker! After just one session (after bladder prolapse repair), I felt some relief. She explains the problems and solutions well; uses a variety of techniques (massage-like therapy, acupuncture, cupping); and offers helpful home exercises. Only drawback is that Rebalance doesn’t accept insurance. However, they do provide the superbills needed to submit for reimbursement and are trying a service that will file your claims for you ($4 per bill - I think) for a fee.

I have PTs over the past 2 years that have both contributed to reduction of pain in my glutes and piraformas and a functional scoliosis of my back, which is almost undetecable. Working with a pelvic floor PT has been just the thing I needed after seeing a variety of specialists and therapists. I am now back at the gym, supporting my gains and getting stronger. Kim has been wonderful. As things change she has helped me adapt to new exercises and is very supportive.

Very positively impressed- from the warm greeting at the door to Dr Shanis’ warmth, sensitivity, attentiveness and depth of knowledge, to even the aesthetics of the stone-themed restroom. I left feeling well-informed, more hopeful and so grateful!

My son came here for crutch training before a knee surgery. We saw Nick. He was excellent. Very professional, knowledgeable, patient, and full of encouragement for my son. I would highly recommend.

Rebalance Physical Therapy is nothing less than amazing! Due to knee and hip issues, I have done countless sessions of physical therapy at countless places over the last 20 years. It wasn't until I started with Rebalance PT that I started to see real results. Hina and her team are true partners in my health. They work with me on how to build muscles, find the cause of the pain, as well as the treatments like deep tissue massage, dry needling, cold laser and other treatments. Every session is a dedicated hour of attention, not someone occasionally "checking in" while I am exercising. I have found true healing at Rebalance PT!

There are over twenty common symptoms of pelvic pain, which include:

 

  • Stabbing, shooting, and sharp pains
  • 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.
  • For men, pelvic pain symptoms can present as genital pain, erectile or ejaculatory dysfunction.

 

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.
