The PRO Therapy care you know, now with pelvic health expertise.
“I fractured 3 transverse spinal processes in November 2025 and had a C section baby 3 days later. I was in quite a bit of pain with very limited mobility, and about a month after the injury, started physical therapy to ensure I could heal well and run again.
Dr. Lily helped me both heal and get my back moving again, as well as some pelvic floor exercises since even though I had a C section, I had pelvic floor pain after being pregnant. After a few months, we tapered off appointments and I have sucessfully been able to run, do yoga, lift weights, and return to normal daily life again with no pain!
They were very conveniently located in NE Minneapolis near me, and had great scheduling availability. I’d go again!”
What is Women’s Health & Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy?
Your pelvic floor is a group of muscles that support your bladder, uterus, and bowel, but pelvic health is about so much more. From pregnancy and postpartum recovery to the changes that come with menopause and active living, your body deserves support at every stage.
Pelvic health physical therapy is a specialized form of care provided by our Doctors of Physical Therapy. We combine evidence-based techniques with whole-body treatment to:
- Reduce pain and discomfort
- Improve strength, stability, and confidence
- Support postpartum healing and safe return to activity

What to Expect at Your First Visit
We know it can feel intimidating to start pelvic health physical therapy and at PRO Therapy, your comfort, privacy, and goals come first. You can expect a safe and supportive environment with all sessions one-on-one in a private space with a Doctor of Physical Therapy who specializes in women’s health.
At your first appointment, here’s what typically happens during your evaluation:
Conversation & Listening
We’ll start by talking about your history, current symptoms, and your goals. Whether it’s leaking when you run, discomfort after childbirth, or changes during menopause — we listen first.
Whole-Body Assessment
We look at posture, breathing, core, hips, and back — not just the pelvic floor. This helps us understand how your whole body is working together.
Pelvic Floor Examination (If Appropriate)
With your consent, we may perform an internal or external pelvic floor exam to better understand how your muscles are functioning. We’ll always explain each step, and you’ll decide what you’re comfortable with.
Personalized Plan of Care
You’ll leave with a clear plan — from education and home exercises to hands-on therapy and guided progressions — tailored to your needs.
Ongoing Sessions
Each session is about empowering you — reducing symptoms, restoring function, and building long-term confidence in your body. As you progress, we’ll adjust your plan to help you reach the activities that matter most, whether that’s running, lifting your kids, or simply living without worry.
Common Questions About Women’s Health Therapy in Minneapolis
Is pelvic floor physical therapy painful?
Treatment should never be painful. We work within your comfort level and always respect your boundaries. Many patients find relief from their first session.
Do I need a referral?
Minnesota allows direct access to physical therapy, so you can schedule directly with us. We can also work with referrals from your doctor, OB/GYN, or other healthcare providers.
What should I wear to my appointment?
Comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows for easy movement. We’ll provide specific guidance when you schedule.
How long does treatment take?
Every person is different, but many patients see improvements within the first few visits. We’ll discuss realistic timelines based on your specific condition and goals.
Do you accept my insurance?
We work with most insurance plans and offer transparent cash-pay options. Our team will help verify your benefits and explain your coverage.
Can pelvic health physical therapy help if I haven’t had kids?
Absolutely. While postpartum recovery is a common reason women seek pelvic PT, many women who have never been pregnant also benefit. Pelvic health PT can address leakage during exercise, chronic pelvic pain, hip or back discomfort, and changes related to aging or activity.
At PRO Therapy, we support women in every stage of life, with or without kids.
Is pelvic PT helpful during menopause?
Pelvic health physical therapy provides strategies to restore strength, improve confidence, and help you stay active and supported through these transitions.
Can physical therapy help with leakage when I run, sneeze, or cough?
Our doctors of physical therapy use evidence-based techniques to improve pelvic floor coordination, core strength, and breathing strategies so you can return to running, exercise, and daily life without worry.
Does pelvic physical therapy help with painful intimacy or pelvic pain?
Through gentle hands-on therapy, education, and individualized exercises, pelvic PT can reduce pain, improve muscle coordination, and restore comfort and confidence.

Every session is one-on-one in a private space, focused entirely on your goals. We also partner with OB/GYNs, doulas, and other providers across the Twin Cities, making us a trusted resource for women’s health care in our community.
Will my sessions be private?
We’ll always explain each step of care, respect your boundaries, and ensure you feel safe, comfortable, and empowered throughout your visits.
