Our 3-Step Process to Normal Pelvic Function
Step 1: Find the Root Cause
A targeted and in-depth pelvic health examination provides the information needed to identify the underlying cause of your symptoms. Whether it’s overactive or weak pelvic floor muscles, or a coordination issue, we uncover the issues that need to be addressed.
Step 2: Fix the Issue
Addressing pain, breathing techniques, and muscular strength, control, and coordination in a specific, systematic, and progressive manner help you control and eliminate symptoms.
Step 3: Perform and Prevent
Get back to those functional activities you love without the pelvic symptoms while learning how to make your progress stick long-term.
