Pelvic health is an area where physical and occupational therapistss receive advanced, post-graduate instruction in pelvic floor anatomy and function to better serve those with related needs. While the broader field of physical and occupational therapy has long been established, pelvic floor therapy is a newer area that’s growing quickly—and we’re honored to be part of this important progress. Despite our specialized knowledge in pelvic care, we consistently treat every patient with a comprehensive perspective that includes the full body and mind.
We help individuals resolve symptoms arising from challenges in the gastrointestinal, reproductive, nervous, musculoskeletal, and urologic systems. Typical pelvic health concerns are categorized as pelvic pain, bladder dysfunction, bowel irregularities, or sexual health issues. A wide variety of factors such as trauma, childbirth, surgical history, menopause, or medications may be responsible. If you’re in Oceanside and curious about how these issues may affect you, we encourage you to explore our website where we go into more depth on each symptom.

How We Can Help You
When dealing with symptoms of pelvic dysfunction, beginning with a pelvic health physical and occupational therapy evaluation is a smart and constructive first move. In this session, your therapist will explore your medical history, talk through your symptoms, and examine the effectiveness of any prior treatments. We know that by the time people in Oceanside reach out, many have already endured a long and difficult journey—and we are here to provide care that is both understanding and results-driven.
During the physical portion of your evaluation, we’ll assess your muscles, joints, connective tissue, nerves, and your functional movement. After collecting these insights, the therapist will go over your results and help you make sense of what’s contributing to your symptoms. An individualized assessment is then developed, clearly outlining the suspected causes and building both immediate and long-range treatment objectives.
Treatment typically consists of one to two weekly visits over the course of about 12 weeks. Along with your sessions, you’ll receive a home program specifically created to support your goals between appointments. Your therapist will also coordinate your care plan with your broader medical team. Oceanside residents can count on us to be a consistent partner in working toward restored function, relief from pain, and an overall healthier quality of life.
