How your pelvic floor works with the rest of your core
Your core works like a canister. Scroll to see how each part shares the load, and why we treat them together.
-
Step 1 · Breathing
Every breath moves your pelvic floor
When you breathe in, your diaphragm drops and pushes pressure down. A healthy pelvic floor lengthens slightly to make room, then lifts as you breathe out.
-
Step 2 · Core & posture
Your core spreads the load
Your abdominal and back muscles form the walls. How you stand, carry kids and lift groceries decides whether pressure is shared around the walls or pushed straight down.
-
Step 3 · Pelvic floor
The floor has to be able to move
Leaking, heaviness and pain often show up here. Sometimes the muscles are weak, but they're often too tight. We check which one before giving you exercises.
-
Step 4 · All together
That's why kegels alone often don't work
When breathing, core and pelvic floor move together, pressure is managed and symptoms ease. Your evaluation looks at the whole system.

Common questions
Do I need an internal exam?
No. An internal exam is always optional. Many clients improve with external techniques, movement training, education and functional exercise alone.
Do you take insurance? Do I need a referral?
We’re out-of-network. We provide a superbill you can submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. Most clients don’t need a referral, though some plans require one.
What happens in a session?
Each session is individualized and may include posture and movement assessment, external manual therapy (and an internal exam only if you choose), exercise and movement training, and practical strategies for daily life.
How many visits will I need?
It depends on your goals and symptoms. Some people feel better within a few sessions; others work with us for several weeks or months. Your therapist adjusts the plan as you progress.
Is this only for after having a baby?
No. We see women at every life stage: prevention, pregnancy, postpartum, pelvic pain, leaking, prolapse, core weakness and returning to exercise.
