Pelvic floor physical therapy is a specialty area within physical therapy, sometimes called urotherapy, that focuses on rehabilitating the muscles of the pelvic floor after injury or dysfunction. It can address muscle weakness or tightness following childbirth, painful intercourse, vaginismus, vulvodynia, constipation, fecal or urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse and sexual dysfunction. Licensed physical therapists with specialized training treat patients across the gender and sex spectrum, though the practice is often associated with women health because of its focus on pelvic trauma after childbirth.
