Pelvic Floor Therapy

Take Back Your Comfort: Personalized Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy

Heal, Strengthen, and Relieve Pain

Are you experiencing pelvic pain or struggling with urinary incontinence? For many, discussing these intimate struggles can be difficult. At Maximum Rehabilitation Services, our physical therapists are musculoskeletal experts trained to treat dysfunctions in all body regions.

Pelvic floor dysfunction is a serious issue. The pelvic region supports vital daily functions, playing a crucial role in women’s health. Pelvic pain can trigger during your menstrual cycle, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, or due to a medical condition.

These conditions affect both women and men, causing painful intercourse, painful urination, or bowel dysfunction. Our pelvic floor physical therapists commonly treat chronic prostatitis, postpartum pelvic pain, post-surgical pain, dyspareunia, and endometriosis.

Dealing with these symptoms alone can be isolating and confusing. Fortunately, targeted pelvic floor rehabilitation can provide lasting pelvic pain relief. If pelvic floor issues are disrupting your daily life, pelvic floor therapy can help you regain control. Contact one of our physical therapy clinics in South Chicago, Evergreen Park, Illinois, or Munster, Indiana today to schedule a consultation!

Understanding the Goals of Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation

Our specialized team utilizes advanced pelvic floor physical therapy techniques to alleviate pelvic pain and restore normal bladder and bowel function. We also provide targeted treatment for individuals experiencing painful intercourse (dyspareunia) and sexual dysfunction.

The pelvic floor consists of a complex group of muscles at the base of the pelvis that supports vital pelvic organs. Everyone has a pelvic floor, and treating pelvic floor dysfunction in this area can significantly improve your health and quality of life.

Our expert physical therapists use proven clinical strategies to relieve chronic pain and restore healthy, normal function to the urinary and bowel systems. We also work closely with patients to overcome painful intimacy and related sexual performance issues.

Understanding your pelvic anatomy is a crucial step toward recovery; this intricate muscle group works directly with the core and surrounding pelvic cavity. Everyone can benefit from pelvic floor exercises, and resolving these issues drastically elevates your daily well-being.

The ability to properly contract these muscles can be compromised by several factors, including:

Weakened bladder muscles due to pregnancy, childbirth, obesity, or aging
Physical damage to pelvic floor muscles from childbirth or abdominal surgery
Nerve damage from chronic conditions like diabetes and multiple sclerosis
Enlarged prostate (prostatitis)
Certain cancers and medical treatments
Specific medications
Physical or emotional trauma

Strong pelvic floor muscles are essential for managing intra-abdominal pressure during daily activities like coughing, laughing, sneezing, and lifting. When these muscles become weak, tight, or uncoordinated, urinary incontinence and dysfunction occur.

Some of the common pelvic conditions we treat at Maximum Rehabilitation Services include:

Overactive bladder muscles
Damaged bladder nerves (due to diseases such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis, or Parkinson’s)
Damaged pelvic floor nerves (due to childbirth, injury, or surgery)
Tight and/or weak pelvic floor muscles
Bloating and abdominal pressure

Pelvic floor physical therapy focuses on strengthening the pelvic floor muscles and restoring optimal pelvic health. When you develop pelvic floor dysfunction—causing these muscles to become too tight or weak—it disrupts daily life, as this essential region stabilizes your core and supports everyday functional movement.

One of our licensed physical therapists will review your medical history to design a personalized treatment plan. Depending on your symptoms, your care may include targeted stretches, specific muscle activation, and pelvic floor exercises. Manual physical therapy may also be utilized to relax tense muscles and eliminate painful restrictions.

At Maximum Rehabilitation Services, our pelvic health specialists treat all types of dysfunctions affecting the pelvic region, providing gender-inclusive care for both Mens Health and women Health.
