Pelvic Floor Therapy for a More Comfortable, Confident You

At Empowered Health and Wellness, we specialize in pelvic floor therapy to help you find lasting relief from common but often overlooked issues like pelvic pain, constipation, urinary stress incontinence, urge incontinence, and discomfort or dissatisfaction during intimacy. Whether you’re struggling with leaks when you laugh or lift, lingering abdominal pressure, painful intercourse, or difficulty fully emptying your bowels, our holistic approach gets to the root of the problem — not just the symptoms. We create personalized therapy plans that blend hands-on techniques, corrective exercises, and education about your body, empowering you to restore strength, function, and confidence in all aspects of daily life.

 Frequently Asked Questions

  • Occupational therapy focuses on how pelvic floor dysfunction impacts your daily activities and overall quality of life. While PT may primarily work on muscle strength, alignment, and movement patterns, OT looks more broadly at your routines, habits, environment, roles, and even emotional well-being, creating a more comprehensive therapy plan that targets the individual’s functional needs.

  • We use a combination of gentle hands-on techniques, guided exercises, posture and breath work, and education to retrain and strengthen the pelvic floor and core. Our approach is always respectful and customized to your comfort level and goals.

  • No — while pregnancy and childbirth are common triggers, anyone can experience pelvic floor dysfunction. We help individuals of all backgrounds and life stages who are struggling with urinary leaks, pelvic pain, constipation, or sexual discomfort.

  • You will not have to undress during our appointments. I’ve found there is tremendous power in helping clients deepen their mind-body connection, rather than relying solely on others to “fix” them. I offer guided self-examination training that you can do in the comfort of your own home. Not only does this provide valuable insight that informs our therapy sessions, it also helps you truly understand what your body is doing and how it’s responding. This kind of empowerment leads to longer-lasting results that continue well beyond the time we work together.

  • Every person is different, but many begin to see positive changes within a few sessions. We’ll work together to create a plan that supports steady progress and lasting results.

  • Occupational therapy often explores how pelvic health challenges affect things like toileting routines, intimacy, sleep quality, return to exercise, or feeling confident in social and work settings. We also incorporate strategies for pacing, stress management, sensory processing, and nervous system regulation — all of which can directly influence pelvic floor function.


  • Absolutely. Many clients benefit from a collaborative approach where OT and PT each address different but complementary parts of care. We’re happy to coordinate with physical therapists to create a comprehensive, individualized plan that supports your goals from multiple angles.

Common Signs You May Benefit from Pelvic Floor Therapy

You don’t have to live with discomfort, embarrassment, or worry. Pelvic floor therapy can help if you’re experiencing:

  • Pelvic pain or pressure, including during daily activities or intimacy

  • Urinary leaks when you cough, sneeze, run, or lift (stress incontinence)

  • Strong urges to urinate and rushing to the bathroom, sometimes not making it in time (urge incontinence)

  • Chronic constipation or straining to have a bowel movement

  • Painful or unsatisfying sexual experiences, including difficulty with arousal or reaching orgasm

If any of these sound familiar, you’re not alone — and we’re here to help you restore comfort, confidence, and function.
