Pelvic health is essential for overall well-being, encompassing functions like bladder control, bowel function, sexual health, and musculoskeletal stability. According to a study performed by BMC Health, up to 46.5% of women in the US report at least 1 pelvic disorder. Due to the nature of pelvic health, it is often a silent topic and can lead to decrease in sport performance, isolation from social events, decreased quality of life, mental and emotional distress, and impact on personal and intimate relationships. Research has supported the benefits of pelvic floor physical therapy as a conservative and nonsurgical treatment that shows high rates of success. Whether you are an elite athlete or active adult, SOL-3 is here to provide pelvic health services to improve your performance goals, comfort, quality of life, and emotional well-being, in order to help you reach your goals and live a fulfilling life without the limitations.

What does pelvic floor physical therapy entail? 

At SOL-3, we approach pelvic health physical therapy in 3 phases to assist your return to your sport, hobbies, or a simple limitation-free lifestyle.

Phase 1 : Screen

​At Sol-3, your first appointment will include an initial full body assessment. This will include: 

  • Needs analysis and goal planning 

  • Posture analysis 

  • Movement assessment

  • ROM/strength/force-velocity testing 

  • Internal examination, if indicated

Phase 3 : Surpass 

At SOL-3, we don’t want to simply meet your initial goals, but we aim to partner with you to champion your efforts towards surpassing your goals. Goals should not be stagnant and should ever be evolving. 

  • Application

    • To bring together all concepts into functional exercises that simulate your sport or fitness to ensure safe and effective performance without any pelvic floor dysfunction

  • Development

    • To advance learning, strength, force production, etc with appropriate progressions in weight, resistance, velocity, or more. 

  • Independence

    • To promote long term self-management of pelvic health with increased independence and methods of future prevention

Phase 2 : Synchronize

​At Sol-3, we believe that our bodies are connected in mind, body, and soul. We believe that the state of our mind and body influences the vitality and energy of our spirit. Therefore, after the full examination, treatments will be focused on restoring the following:

  • ​Education

    • To provide extensive knowledge, understanding, and management strategies to empower women to make decisions suitable for their bodies. Includes behavioral techniques to address stress management and relaxation methods.

  • Manual therapy

    • To improve pelvic floor soft tissue pliability, mobility, and flexibility to restore muscle tone

  • Neuromuscular Re-education

    • To improve motor control, biofeedback, and enhance brain-muscle synchronization, including integration of proper muscle activation patterns to optimize coordination and performance.

  • Functional Training

    • To initiate application of methods, techniques, and knowledge to functional activities and return to sport/fitness tasks
