Women’s Health Month is a time to spotlight the physical, emotional, and mental health of women at every stage of life. While many topics get attention—like heart health, mental wellness, and cancer prevention—pelvic floor health is often overlooked, even though it plays a crucial role in women’s overall well-being. From postpartum recovery to navigating perimenopause and menopause, the pelvic floor is central to how women move, function, and feel in their bodies. At Woerner Physical Therapy, we’re passionate about empowering women to understand and care for this essential part of their health.
Postpartum: Healing and Rebuilding After Birth
Childbirth places immense strain on the pelvic floor muscles, often leading to weakness, discomfort, and even dysfunction. Many women experience issues like incontinence, pelvic pressure, or pain—but think these are just the “new normal.” The truth is, these symptoms are common but treatable. Pelvic floor physical therapy can help new moms reconnect with their core, rebuild strength, and restore confidence in their bodies.
Our team works one-on-one with postpartum women to address specific concerns through customized treatment plans. Techniques like manual therapy, guided movement, and education on posture and breath work allow healing to begin gently but effectively. The goal isn’t just to recover—it’s to thrive in your new season of life.
Perimenopause and Menopause: Navigating Change with Confidence
As estrogen levels decline, many women in midlife begin to notice pelvic floor symptoms such as urgency, leaking, or discomfort with intimacy. These changes are natural but don’t have to be disruptive. Pelvic floor therapy helps manage these symptoms by strengthening the muscles that support the bladder, bowel, and uterus, improving control and comfort.
At Woerner PT, we support women through this transitional phase with compassionate care and science-backed treatment. We address the structural and hormonal changes with tailored techniques designed to increase pelvic stability, improve function, and support hormonal shifts through movement and body awareness.
