Discover This Transformative Method of Treatment
Pelvic floor physical therapy is a specialized treatment focused on improving the strength, function, and coordination of the pelvic floor muscles—an essential group of muscles that support the bladder, bowel, and uterus. When these muscles become weak, tight, or uncoordinated, women can experience pain, discomfort, and changes in bladder, bowel, or sexual function.
At Long Island Physical Therapy in Huntington Station, NY, our pelvic floor specialists provide compassionate, evidence-based care for women experiencing pelvic floor disorders. Whether you’re dealing with persistent pelvic pain, postpartum changes, or bladder and bowel challenges, our highly trained therapists are here to help you feel better and move with confidence.
Pelvic floor physical therapy requires advanced training, and our clinicians have completed specialized education in women’s pelvic health assessment and treatment. Our goal is simple: to help you regain comfort, function, and control using proven techniques that support your long-term well-being.

Conditions That Pelvic Floor Therapy Treats
Women experience pelvic floor symptoms for many reasons, including pregnancy, childbirth, hormonal changes, aging, injury, or chronic conditions. We treat a wide range of concerns, including:
- Urinary incontinence and bowel problems: Bowel and bladder control problems, such as leakage or increased urgency. Symptoms can also be mild or severe, ranging from a slight loss of urine after sneezing, coughing, or laughing to full urinary control and/or constipation.
- Interstitial cystitis (IC): Pelvic pain, bladder pain, uncomfortable pressure, and a frequent urge to urinate are all symptoms of IC.
- Pelvic and lower abdominal pain: Pain in the lower abdomen and pelvis, ranging from a sharp jab to a dull aching. Pain in the vaginal area and/or rectum is also possible.
- Pregnancy/postpartum pain: Many women experience pain or discomfort during pregnancy, as well as urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, and separation of the abdominal muscles (diastasis recti).
- Pelvic organ prolapse: Prolapse occurs when the pelvic organs drop from their normal position.
- Sexual dysfunction: Pelvic floor symptoms can cause issues like reduced sexual arousal, infrequent orgasm, and dyspareunia (genital pain that occurs before, during, or after intercourse)
Our evidence-based approach helps women find relief from long-standing symptoms and return to comfortable movement, daily activities, and intimacy.
Pelvic Floor Therapy Treatments
At Long Island Physical Therapy, your first visit includes a private, one-on-one evaluation where your therapist will discuss your symptoms, goals, and concerns. Pelvic health is personal, and we take the time to ensure you feel comfortable and informed.
Following the initial consultation, your therapist will design a treatment plan that is customized to your unique needs and will successfully meet recovery goals. Treatment options typically include:
Pelvic floor exercises
Pelvic floor exercises can help ease tight muscles and improve coordination.
Bladder and bowel retraining
If you’ve been struggling with incontinence, our therapists will help you develop a program and schedule for urinary and bowel movements.
Education and lifestyle modifications
Our team will educate you on maintaining your recovery in and out of the clinic. Lifestyle modifications may include proper posture, diet, and other factors affecting pelvic floor health. We may also recommend changes to your work or home environment and teach you home exercises to help reduce pain and restore functions.
Our mission is to help women overcome pelvic pain and restore confidence through skilled, personalized care that fits your life.
