Pelvic floor physical therapy addresses bowel, bladder, and sexual function. The pelvic floor is a diamond-shaped set of muscles located at the base of the pelvis. It is a key component of the "core" along with the deep abdominals, back muscles, and diaphragm. These muscles can get weak, tense, or dis-coordinated.
Sometimes problems with urination, defecation, sex, and pain can occur as a result. Many people are surprised to learn that physical therapy can treat conditions like incontinence, constipation, pelvic pain, gastrointestinal and reproductive illnesses, and pain with intercourse.

Pelvic floor physical therapy is recommended for individuals with abdominal or pelvic pain or bowel, bladder, or sexual dysfunction. See this list for examples of potential concerns.

You don't need a referral to see a pelvic specialist at Pelvic Care Physical Therapy.

If your care exceeds one month, your physical therapist will help to secure your physician's approval of your customized physical therapy plan of care.

Amanda is wonderful! She is so professional and caring, she makes you feel comfortable from the beginning. I am a CrossFit athlete (never had a baby) and was dealing with incontinence with double unders and heavy lifts. Amanda helped me coordinate my pelvic floor with my diagram and it helped in more areas than expected. I breathe more efficiently, I can control my pelvic floor (no surgery or expensive devices) and am so happy with the results. She is an amazing PT and everyone needs an Amanda on their team!

Amanda is absolutely the best physical therapist when it comes to pelvic care. Her personality alone creates a comfortable environment. Her knowledge and skill amaze me every session. I trust and appreciate her gentle approach to bring results to each issue. As her first year to branch out as an independent small business she was recently nominated as Top 5 Best Pelvic Floor Therapist in Norman. A much deserved nomination. Thank you Amanda for your drive to provide the best care for your clients!
