Pelvic floor issues can cause pain in your lower back, SI joints, tailbone, or pubic bone, or you may experience incontinence, constipation, etc. Pelvic floor issues are quite broad. They can occur during pregnancy, as you age, during adolescence, and men can also experience them.
Pelvic pain limits you in your daily life, making it difficult to move, exercise, or work. Or perhaps your world becomes smaller because you don’t venture far from home or hesitate to do so because you’re afraid there won’t be a toilet nearby.
Do you want to move pain-free again, have control over continence, and be free to go wherever you want? We help you regain control over your body and movement!

Pelvic pain refers to discomfort in areas such as the SI joints, coccyx, pubic bone, and/or the sitting and hip bones. These symptoms commonly occur during or after pregnancy but can also affect teenagers, men, and older individuals.
The pain is often dull or achy and hinders you from changing positions, prolonged standing, sitting, walking, or even turning over in bed. This limitation affects your mobility.
It’s crucial not to ignore these symptoms for too long, as pain and tension often worsen the condition. Did you know that we can often alleviate pelvic pain within just 4-6 treatment sessions?
By identifying the root cause of your symptoms and teaching you how to address and prevent them, you can regain your freedom of movement without worry!
We’re here to assist you further.

Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus. This can cause various symptoms such as abdominal, back, or leg pain, discomfort during daily activities, or during intercourse. Additionally, some women may experience difficulty or pain while urinating and/or defecating.
Unfortunately, there is still no definitive solution for endometriosis. Even pelvic floor therapy cannot cure endometriosis, but we can help you relax the muscles in and around your pelvis. Pain often causes muscles to tense up, and tension can lead to more pain. We can assist you in reducing muscle tension so that you experience less discomfort caused by endometriosis. We also teach you how to cope with the pain if it persists.
Regarding endometriosis, we have a beneficial collaboration with AKI Acupuncture & Balance. The combination of pelvic floor therapy and acupuncture can help you relax more, resulting in less pain!
