Women’s History Month & the Power of Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy

March is Women’s History Month, a time to celebrate the achievements, resilience, and strength of women throughout history.

At CORE Physical Therapy, we believe that one of the best ways to honor women is by supporting their health and well-being—and that starts with pelvic floor health.

WHY PELVIC FLOOR HEALTH MATTERS?

The pelvic floor muscles play a vital role in bladder and bowel control, core stability, and overall movement. When these muscles are too weak or too tight, it can lead to:
✅ Urinary leakage (common in athletes and postpartum moms)
✅ Pelvic pain or discomfort
✅ Prolapse (organs shifting downward)
✅ Core weakness that impacts daily function

These issues can affect women at any stage of life—from young athletes to postpartum mothers to aging women looking to stay mobile and independent.

HOW PHYSICAL THERAPY CAN HELP?

At CORE Physical Therapy, we take a comprehensive approach to pelvic health by integrating:
🔹 Manual therapy techniques to improve mobility and relieve discomfort
🔹 Targeted exercises to strengthen or relax the pelvic floor as needed
🔹 Education & empowerment to help women take control of their health

Whether you’re an athlete struggling with stress incontinence, a new mom recovering from childbirth, or someone experiencing prolapse or leakage later in life, pelvic floor PT can help you regain confidence and function.

BREAKING THE STIGMA AND PRIORITIZING HEALTH

Too often, pelvic floor issues are ignored or accepted as “normal”, but they don’t have to be! This Women’s History Month, let’s break the stigma and prioritize women’s health at every stage of life.

If you or someone you love is struggling with pelvic floor issues, help is available. Reach out to CORE Physical Therapy today and take the first step toward strength, confidence, and independence.
