Pelvic Health
& Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy

The pelvic floor is a complex set of soft tissues, bones and joints that form a sling or trampoline at the base of your pelvis. Their main roles are to support the abdominal and pelvic organs, help maintain posture, and all things related to bladder health, bowel health, and sexual activity.
These muscles may become either under-active or overactive for any number of reasons. Often, pelvic floor dysfunction can exist without an obvious or known cause. The result is called Pelvic Floor Dysfunction and can result in pain that affects everyday activities and quality of life.
EVERYONE has a pelvic floor. Roots treats people with pelvic floor conditions related to Men’s Health, Trans Health, Gender Affirming Procedures, Pregnancy, Fertility, Menopause and More!

Pregnancy + Postpartum

Pregnancy and Childbirth are arguably the single greatest changes a person will experience in their lifetime - physically, mentally and emotionally. Changes in our bodies begin the moment we conceive, and continue for a minimum of 2 years following delivery. During this process, our bodies grow and change in unique and incredible ways. Anyone who's experienced this knows there is no such thing as "bouncing back" - that's a myth. As we build our families, we keep moving forward, building our health, our strength, and our resilience! Roots PTs will not only guide you through all stages of pregnancy, we'll prepare you for labor and delivery and beyond! Physical Therapy at Roots is a safe and effective way to address pregnancy- and postpartum related conditions. Our providers are knowledgeable, respectful, valuable resources for a FUN and HEALTHY pregnancy and postpartum experience!

Education, breathing techniques practicing safe movement starts immediately following delivery! Hands-on manual-therapy techniques and movement re-training help restore mobility and strength so you can enjoy your life free of pain.
