A Woman’s Guide to Pelvic Health Physical Therapy in the Twin Cities

For the active women of the Twin Cities, balancing career ambitions, fitness goals, and a bustling family life is second nature. But if you have been quietly dealing with unexpected bladder leakage during workouts, persistent pelvic pain, or a constant feeling of pressure, it’s time to address these concerns directly.

At PRO Therapy, we believe you deserve to feel strong, confident, and in control of your body at every stage of life. That is why we are proud to offer specialized Pelvic Health Physical Therapy services for our communities in Northeast Minneapolis and Coon Rapids.

Understanding Your Core Foundation: The Pelvic Floor

Your pelvic floor is a vital group of muscles at the base of your pelvis, forming the foundation of your core. This muscular system supports your bladder, uterus, and rectum, while also stabilizing your spine and controlling bladder and bowel functions.

For active women, particularly those aged 25-55, this system is under constant demand. High-impact activities like running, lifting, and even chasing after children can lead to symptoms that, while common, are not normal:

Incontinence: Leaking urine or stool when you laugh, cough, jump, or run (Stress Incontinence).

Pelvic Pain: Experiencing pain during intercourse, with tampon insertion, or a general sense of discomfort in the pelvic area.

Postpartum Recovery Challenges: Lingering abdominal separation (Diastasis Recti), C-section scar tissue pain, or a feeling of core weakness long after delivery.

Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP): A sensation of heaviness or a bulge in the pelvic region.

Often, persistent low back or hip pain can also be traced back to a pelvic floor imbalance.

PRO Therapy’s Comprehensive Approach: Beyond Kegels

Pelvic Health Physical Therapy is a specialized, non-surgical treatment designed to restore the strength, flexibility, and coordination of your entire core system.

What Differentiates Our Approach?

Our care is built on a foundation of personalized, goal-oriented treatment plans. We don’t just treat a symptom; we partner with you to achieve your specific goals, whether that means training for a marathon, enjoying a pain-free sex life, or lifting your child without concern.

Our expert physical therapists utilize advanced techniques, including:

Manual Therapy: This hands-on approach releases trigger points and muscular tension in the pelvic floor and surrounding areas (hips, low back, abdomen). It is crucial for effectively treating conditions like painful intercourse and mobilizing scar tissue.

Core Coordination Training: We teach you how to properly engage your deep core unit—the diaphragm, transverse abdominis, and pelvic floor—during functional movements like lifting, squatting, and running.

Biofeedback & Education: We empower you with the tools to understand how to correctly contract and, just as importantly, fully relax your pelvic floor muscles for optimal function.
