Pelvic floor therapy can include as much or as little as you desire. Typically, we utilize techniques such as external manual therapy, internal manual therapy (although helpful, it is not necessary), and personalized exercises and education to reach your goals.

At Bloom Pelvic Therapy, we believe that every individual requires a personal approach to care. If you haven't seen improvement with other pelvic therapy, we are confident in our ability to help. Our process begins with a thorough evaluation to uncover the root cause of your symptoms, allowing us to develop a customized treatment plan to fully reach your goals, not just decreasing or masking them!
Not all pelvic therapy is created equal—our therapists have spent extensive time pursuing pelvic-specific continuing education, ensuring that we provide the most effective and up-to-date treatments. We thrive on complexity and have yet to meet a case we couldn’t help. From the simplest to the most challenging presentations, we’ve seen a variety of conditions and always embrace the unique nature of each individual.
Our goal is to get you to yours, and we are confident we can help you achieve the results you’re seeking

No, you don’t need to wait until after childbirth to benefit from pelvic therapy! At Bloom Pelvic Therapy, we help women during all stages of pregnancy and beyond. Whether you’re trying to conceive, currently pregnant, or postpartum, pelvic therapy can be incredibly beneficial.
During pregnancy, pelvic therapy can help you prepare your body for labor, address discomfort, and ensure your pelvic floor is functioning optimally. Addressing any pelvic issues beforehand can also lead to a smoother postpartum recovery.
Our therapists are highly trained in prenatal and postnatal care and will tailor a plan to meet your unique needs at any stage of your journey.

The first pelvic floor visit is the evaluation-this is where we get to know you, your biggest difficulties, your biggest joys, and goals to make a plan specific to you! The visit starts with a conversation with your therapist about your history, what your biggest bothers are, and your goals for pelvic floor therapy. Then we will look at your strength, mobility, balance, posture, how you move in typical tasks to assess for underlying causes and areas we can improve. If agreeable, we may perform a pelvic muscle assessment for a better understanding of your pelvic floor specifically. Throughout the visit we educate you on the ins and outs of the pelvic floor, things we can address in pelvic floor therapy, and recommendations. The visit ends with answering any questions and the giving you a plan to reach your goals!

Our visits run about 1 hour. Within that time frame you are one on one with your therapist working collaboratively towards your goals. Here at Bloom Pelvic Floor Therapy we don’t have a busy gym, waiting to use equipment, or therapist balancing multiple patients! You deserve the best and we value your time!

Yes! We believe that a great deal of progress is made at home between visits! We give a home exercise program and recommend modifications at each visit to progress and help you reach your goals with as little time in clinic as possible!
-
We understand the importance of privacy and comfort when addressing pelvic health concerns. All of our therapy sessions take place in private treatment rooms—no large, noisy gyms with people working on different issues.
Since we are a specialized pelvic floor therapy practice, all of our clients are on a similar journey, experiencing pelvic concerns in some way. This allows us to focus entirely on your pelvic care, ensuring a comfortable and personalized experience every time.
-
Yes, at Bloom Pelvic Therapy, we believe in giving you the time and attention you deserve. Each session is a full hour spent one-on-one with your therapist in a private treatment room. We know it takes time to tell your story, share your pelvic health updates, and make meaningful progress toward your goals. No techs, no machines, no fluff—just focused, personalized care designed to help you reach your goals.
-
No, we do not. We believe your pelvic floor needs to move as dynamically as you do. Machines, e-stim, and kegel chairs often don’t provide functional outcomes and most times make matters worse. Instead, we take a full-body approach, focusing on the root cause of your symptoms rather than masking them.
In fact, we frequently help clients resolve issues caused by those pelvic machines! Our personalized, hands-on therapy ensures the best long-term results for your pelvic health.
