If you’re struggling with pelvic pain, discomfort, or dysfunction, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to suffer in silence. Pelvic floor rehabilitation is an effective, specialized form of physical therapy that helps address conditions like chronic pelvic pain, urinary incontinence, postpartum recovery, and pain after abdominal surgery.
At PREP Performance Center in Chicago and Niles, our trained physical therapists provide personalized pelvic rehab programs designed to relieve pain, improve mobility, and restore strength in the pelvic floor muscles. Whether you’ve been dealing with persistent symptoms for years or are newly diagnosed, we’re here to help you regain comfort and confidence.
Pelvic rehabilitation is a type of therapy for strengthening the pelvic floor muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Muscles in the pelvic area sometimes become tight or weak, leading to a variety of painful or debilitating ailments that can affect your daily life. A physical therapist will provide a musculoskeletal examination to determine what specific type of treatment you’ll need. The therapist will also likely want to get as much of your medical history as possible.
Pelvic floor rehab would include a combination of manual therapy as well as technological therapies such as biofeedback and electrical stimulation. Specific treatments would involve several types of exercises and relaxation techniques. You may also be given a home program that includes a list of therapeutic exercises you’ll need to follow. There are other types of physical therapy services the therapist may provide besides treating injury and pelvic pain relief. A trained therapist who specializes in pelvic rehabilitation may also provide proactive and preventative treatment such as preparing a woman for childbirth. This may make the delivery easier as well as possibly prevent a C-section.
Even if your car accident injury happened years ago, physical therapy can still help you regain mobility and reduce pain through specialized rehabilitation techniques.
These are just a few of the many conditions pelvic floor rehabilitation can relieve or eliminate. Painful intercourse and infertility problems may also be improved with pelvic therapy.
You don’t have to live with pelvic pain or dysfunction. The team at PREP Performance Center is here to help you recover, heal, and move forward with a customized pelvic rehabilitation program.
