Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy
The only specialized pelvic health physical therapy practice in Newtown, PA
Even though common, there is a solution to women’s pelvic floor symptoms.
Our pelvi floor physical therapists are here to give you real solutions to your pelvic health concerns.
Often the pelvic floor is compensating for a problem elsewhere in the body.
Proper treatment begins with a thorough assessment. Our therapists combine internal and external pelvic treatments with orthopedics to give you the most well rounded plan, one that involves much more than advice to “just do kegels”.

FAQs
-
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles and ligaments that sit in the bottom of the pelvis. The pelvic floor muscles are responsible for control of our urinary, bowel, and sexual functions, and also contribute to stability in our pelvis.
-
Pelvic floor dysfunction is a general term for a problem with the pelvic floor muscles. Often this results in urinary symptoms, bowel concerns, sexual pain and/or pelvic or lower back pain.
-
Pelvic floor therapy is a type of physical therapy targeted at the pelvic floor muscles. Just as a physical therapist would treat the muscles around your knee if you had knee pain, pelvic floor therapists help patients rehab their pelvic floor through hands on treatments, manual therapy and exercises.
-
Pelvic floor therapists treat urinary symptoms such as leakage, urgency and frequency, bowel symptoms such as constipation and hemorrhoids, sexual pain and pelvic pain conditions.
-
Pelvic floor therapy sessions can involve both internal treatment (intravaginal or intrarectal) and external treatment. Internal treatment involves hands on treatments and exercises targeted at the pelvic floor muscles while external treatment is targeted at the muscles that surround the pelvis.
-
The best way to treat the pelvic floor is through internal treatment. However, you absolutely can choose to forgo the internal portion of treatment if it would make you more comfortable.
-
At Vivid, we figure out why your symptoms are there in the first place. It enough to say that the pelvic floor is weak or tight, we have to figure out why that is the case and target treatment not only at the pelvic floor, but anything that is contributing to your symptoms.
Our therapists are highly trained in treating pelvic floor conditions as this is our sole focus. While most pelvic therapists have only taken one or two pelvic floor courses, each of our therapists have taken close to a dozen courses/trainings.
And then, our environment is like no other. Our center is designed for pelvic floor rehab. From our dimmable lights to our table warmers to our ultrasound guided exercises, at Vivid, you are in the best possible hands.
-
Absolutely! In fact, your symptoms maybe connected and the key to treating one is actually treating both. The beauty of our treatment model is that we can treat what we find relevant to your symptoms.
-
We typically see our patients once a week for the first several visits and then decrease frequency as symptoms decrease.
