Your pelvic floor affects every aspect of your life.

Experiencing leaking when you run, jump, or sneeze? Pain during sex? Perhaps a persistent heaviness you can't quite explain? Maybe even hip or back pain that never fully resolves no matter what you try? Or just wanting to be strong throughout pregnancy and postpartum?

These experiences are incredibly common, but they are not inevitable. And they are absolutely not something you should have to quietly manage for the rest of your life.

The pelvic floor is affected by how you train, how you breathe, how you move, hormonal changes at every life stage, stress, and dozens of other factors.

At PIONE3R, we treat women at every stage of life. Whether you're a 24-year-old athlete, a woman navigating perimenopause, or a mom trying to get back to herself, we meet you exactly where you are.

Rehab should eventually progress away from the treatment table.

Believe it or not, there’s much more to treating the pelvic floor than Kegels. Getting a personalized assessment can make sure that your treatment is specific to you and works towards your goals.

  • We assess your whole body, not just the pelvic floor in isolation

  • We coach you back into the movements that matter to you, like running, lifting, or jumping, not just table exercises

  • We teach you why everything we do is chosen, so you understand your body

  • We work around your lifestyle and your goals, not a generic protocol

Whether you’re new to pelvic physical therapy or have already tried it somewhere else, let us help you work towards a life where you don’t have to deal with your symptoms anymore.

Our Process:

Our 3-step process will help get you out of pain, get you back to your goals, and help you to prevent it from coming back.

  • This is the get-out-of-pain phase. We work to calm symptoms down through modalities, exercise, and load management.

  • We continue to work on building up your body’s tolerance level. Too often, people stop working on themselves when their pain is gone. This phase is crucial for helping to keep symptoms at bay and to start returning you to your baseline strength and function.

  • Most people stop at step 2. Here, however, we are working off the foundation built in step 2 to get you back to your goals stronger and more resilient than ever!

Our Treatments

At PIONE3R, we believe that there are many treatments we can use as tools to help you manage symptoms. However, our plans of care are centered around helping you get long-term results so you can live the life you want.

Manual Therapy

Manual Therapy just refers to a type of hands-on treatment that helps provide pain-relief. When paired with exercise, it can help manage symptoms while working towards long-term goals. We will never push this on people who don’t want it, but it is an option.

Exercise Therapy

One of the best methods our research supports for helping you get stronger, managing symptoms, and building resilience. We guide you through exercises specific to your goals and tolerance, and teach you what is okay to feel and what to avoid.

Dry Needling

We use dry needling to reduce muscle tension, improve tissue mobility, and decrease pain. When paired with exercise, it can help manage symptoms while working towards long-term goals. We will never push this on people who don’t want it.

  • The pelvic floor is a group of muscles at the bottom of your pelvis. They attach from your pubic bone to your tailbone and are between your sit bones. This group of muscles is important for support of your pelvic organs; imperative for your pelvic function: peeing, pooping, sexual health and function, & birth. It is a key part of the core. .

  • Pelvic health physical therapy sessions do not look much different than an orthopedic therapy session, however as a pelvic floor therapist, we are able to view things through a different lens.

    The pelvic floor functions in conjunction with the whole body. We will do more than just look at the back or hips, but look at you as a whole. If you are leaking while jumping, our goal is to break down the pieces that contribute and get you back to jumping without leaking.

    Sometimes an internal examination is indicated where your physical therapist will examine the pelvic floor musculature internally. If this is indicated, your physical therapist will discuss this with you and only include this if consent is fully given.

  • The internal exam consists of examining the muscles inside the pelvic region. Each pelvic health physical therapist must have specialized training in this area in order to conduct this exam. The exam is very gentle and consists of your therapist inserting one gloved finger into the vagina. This allows the therapist to directly feel the muscles inside the pelvis in order to identify any tension or weakness of the muscles or if these muscles could be directly causing your pain. We often find that these muscles can largely contribute to hip or back pain. Additionally, the exam allows the therapist to determine the coordination of the musculature during movement, coughing, laughing, and breathing, which can assist with the overall treatment. The therapist can also examine the muscles located externally around the outside of the vagina.

    A speculum is not used and inserted into the vagina as is in most gynecologic exams.

    While the internal pelvic examination is the gold standard for examination and treatment of pelvic floor musculature, it is never a mandatory procedure and if you choose to forgo the internal examination, you will be able to receive treatment from your physical therapist based on the external examination.

  • Not at all. Pelvic floor issues affect women at every stage of life — from teenage athletes dealing with leaking during sports, to women managing endometriosis or vaginismus, to those navigating perimenopause or menopause. Pregnancy and childbirth are one pathway to pelvic floor dysfunction, but far from the only one.

  • Yes — and you deserve more than "that's just how it is." Pelvic floor PT can meaningfully reduce pain and dysfunction related to endometriosis, vaginismus, interstitial cystitis, and other conditions often dismissed in standard healthcare settings. We take these seriously.

  • No. Stress urinary incontinence — leaking with coughing, sneezing, running, jumping, or lifting — is common, but it's treatable. Most women see significant improvement with targeted pelvic floor PT. Whether you've had children or not, you don't have to manage this indefinitely.

  • We take a fitness-forward, whole-body approach. We coach you back into running, lifting, and the activities you love — not just table exercises. We teach you the why behind every decision. And you work one-on-one with the same PT every session, so your care is always building on itself.
