Southern Health Clinic is the adult-services branch of Southern Pediatric Therapy, created to expand our commitment to providing exceptional, compassionate care to our community. While Southern Pediatric Therapy continues to focus on serving children and families, Southern Health Clinic is dedicated to meeting the unique healthcare needs of adults, beginning with women's pelvic floor therapy.
Women’s Pelvic Floor
Many women experience bladder leakage, pelvic pain, pregnancy or postpartum changes, or other pelvic health concerns, but that doesn't mean you have to live with them. Our Women's Pelvic Floor Therapy program provides personalized, one-on-one care to help improve strength, restore function, and give you the confidence to get back to the activities you love.
What is Pelvic Floor Therapy?
Pelvic floor therapy focuses on the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues that support the bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs. These muscles play an important role in bladder and bowel control, core stability, posture, pregnancy and postpartum recovery, and overall pelvic health.
When the pelvic floor muscles become too weak, too tight, or are not functioning properly, they can contribute to a variety of symptoms. Pelvic floor therapy uses individualized treatment techniques, education, and exercises to help improve muscle function and reduce symptoms so you can enjoy everyday activities.
Common Concerns We Help With
Urinary leakage/incontinence
Pregnancy-related discomfort
Low back, hip, or pelvic pain
Pain with intimacy
Postpartum recovery
Pain with exercise or movement
Scar tissue/C-section recovery
Is this right for me?
You may benefit from pelvic floor therapy if you:
Leak urine when coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercising
Feel pressure or heaviness in the pelvic area
Experience pelvic pain
Have pain during intimacy
Are recovering after pregnancy or childbirth
Struggle with constipation
Want to improve core strength and stability
What to Expect
Comprehensive evaluation including bladder scan with abdominal ultrasound
Discussion of symptoms and goals
Personalized treatment plan
Education and home recommendations
Ongoing support and progress tracking
Your comfort is our priority. Most pelvic floor evaluations and treatments are completed using external techniques, and an internal examination does not need to be routinely performed unless consent is given. If an internal assessment or treatment may benefit your care, your therapist will explain it thoroughly, answer any questions you have, and it will only be performed if you choose to proceed.
