Peeing, pain & pressure

Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy

Leaking, pain, pressure, or feeling disconnected from your core? These are common, but they're not things you have to live with. Let's get you back to running, jumping, lifting and playing.

What Is Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy?

Your pelvic floor is the group of muscles at the bottom of your core. It holds up your bladder, bowel and uterus, keeps you from leaking, and has a lot to do with sex, your back, and how well you lift, run and jump.

Not leaking
A strong, steady core
Sex that doesn't hurt
Pregnancy & birth
Postpartum recovery
Lifting, running and jumping

Important: Pelvic floor dysfunction does not only mean weakness. Many women have pelvic floor muscles that are overactive, uncoordinated, or unable to relax when they should. Pelvic floor PT addresses strength, mobility, coordination, and nervous system control. Not just Kegels.

Signs You May Benefit from Pelvic Floor Therapy

You don't need to be postpartum, an athlete, or under 40 to see a pelvic floor physical therapist. It can help if you have:

  • Leaking when you cough, sneeze, laugh or jump
  • Difficulty emptying your bladder or bowels
  • Pelvic pain, tailbone pain, or pain with sitting
  • Pain with intercourse or tampon use
  • Heaviness or pressure, especially by the end of the day
  • Core weakness, or your belly "coning" when you sit up or lift
  • Pain during pregnancy
  • Lingering symptoms after childbirth
  • Discomfort or leaking during lifting or running

If something feels "off" but you've been told it's normal, that's often a sign it's treatable.

  • Every woman should give themselves the gift of pelvic floor PT at Peak Rx! I have my life back. I can run and jump and sneeze and laugh and not have to go change my pants after. I have control over my bladder and am aware of my pelvic floor muscles and how to strengthen them and let them work for me as I lift heavy weights. Natalie gently and kindly educated me about my body and made me feel empowered to change things I didn’t love about it. Peak Rx offered exactly what I needed at a time that I felt deflated and vulnerable. Working with Natalie has given me confidence in my body in an area that my personal trainer certification and years of endurance sports could not. I will be forever grateful for pelvic floor PT and Peak Rx and encourage every woman to invest in this priceless knowledge about your body!

  • Oh my goodness, where do I even start?! I booked an appointment at the beginning g of 2025 after noticing I was leaking a lot more when I sneezed, coughed, laughed, or did any explosive movement in recent years. I delivered 4 big babies from 2008-2015 and even after years of CrossFit, I had zero core activation and very weak glutes. I worked with Natalie starting in February 2025 and I’m not kidding, within 2-3 visits, I was no longer leaking. I can now race my boys, jump on the trampoline with them, laugh at their jokes and not pee my pants. Literally life-changing! After that, Natalie helped me with exercises to strengthen my glutes, she focused on my knees and what movements I could do that would give me strength without bothering them. She’s a WEALTH of knowledge! I can’t speak highly enough of Natalie and all the ladies at PeakRx! I always felt welcome, loved coming in for each appointment and I’m sad it’s over!

  • How pelvic floor therapy at PeakRx changed my Tri season! ✅ Core stability on the bike, no more feeling wobbly and unsupported ✅ Urgency on the bike, learned I don’t need “just in case” pees ✅ No more leaks on the run, in training or racing Ruth Ann and Brooke at PeakRx specialize in pelvic floor therapy for women, and they took the time to address both my Triathlon goals and my mom life goals (jumping on the trampoline and sneezing without leaks 🙌). Their approach was layered like my favorite cake: 1️⃣ Emotional – They truly listened to my embarrassment and shame and gave me a safe space to talk about it. 2️⃣ Physical – Their expertise helped me make deep core connections and feel strong. 3️⃣ Mental – I learned to trust my body again and feel confident instead of worried. PeakRx gave me confidence where I used to feel uncomfortable and embarrassed. For me, that’s a game change - both on the race course and in everyday life.

Got Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

Nope. In Texas, you can be evaluated and treated for up to 3 weeks without one. If you want to submit for insurance reimbursement, you'll need a referral, and we can help you get one after your evaluation.

No. Internal assessment is optional and only performed with your full, informed consent. We always discuss all options before proceeding with any part of the evaluation.

Not at all. Women and men of all ages and activity levels benefit from pelvic floor PT. Whether you're an athlete, dealing with perimenopausal changes, or experiencing pain, we can help.

Not necessarily. Many people with prolapse symptoms get real relief with pelvic floor PT, and it's worth trying first. If surgery does end up being the right call, being strong going in helps you recover coming out.

Because nobody checked them. A lot of people squeeze the wrong muscles, or squeeze muscles that actually need to relax. We'll check, then give you what your body actually needs.

No. Your pelvic floor is a muscle group, and muscles respond to training at any age.

This varies based on your symptoms and goals, but many people notice improvement within a few sessions. We create individualized plans designed to get you better efficiently.
