Pelvic Floor Therapy
Pelvic health care that feels safe, supportive, and built for real life, with one to one care in Lutz, South Tampa, and St. Pete.
Helping you get lasting relief from symptoms “down there” with our comprehensive, holistic, whole-human approach.
Addressing pelvic health concerns can be intimidating, and our goal is to alleviate any fears you have about getting help. Pelvic conditions can be debilitating, embarrassing, and oftentimes keep you from living your life as you’d like to.
We know that with the help of pelvic therapy, you can go on that long road trip, jump and play with your kids, workout, leave the house without a pad on, and be in intimate with your partner without worrying about your what’s going on or what could happen in your pelvic region.
At Bloom Pelvic Therapy, our focus is finding the root cause of your symptoms and addressing that specific thing, so you can get the relief you’ve been hoping for.
Here at Bloom, it’s much more than just “do your Kegels” and giving you a pre-determined printout of home exercises. You are an individual with a unique history and specific needs, and we honor that inside our evaluations and every session after. Our approach is specific, collaborative, and individualized so that we can address your specific concerns and goals in a way that fits your lifestyle.
While many pelvic conditions and symptoms are common, they do not need to be accepted as your “new normal”. At Bloom Pelvic Therapy, we treat the most common and the most complex of cases, and we look forward to helping you find the solution you’ve been hoping for.

Diagnoses and Symptoms We Treat
Pelvic Pain
Pelvic pain can be very complex and there are many diagnoses that fall into the “pelvic pain bucket”. Whatever diagnoses or symptoms you are having, rest assured that we can help you find relief.
Some of the symptoms and diagnoses we treat:
Pain with sex (dyspareunia)
External genital pain or vulvar pain
Vaginal pain (vaginismus)
Pudendal neuralgia
Tailbone pain (coccydynia)
Endometriosis, interstitial cystitis(IC)/painful bladder syndrome
Levator ani syndrome (proctalgia fugax).
Orthopedic Pelvic Therapy
Pelvic therapy doesn’t just have to do with your pelvic region. With a whole-body approach, we will work with you to ensure that we’re addressing the root cause of your pelvic floor symptoms, which will include focusing on other regions of the body outside of the pelvic region. In addition, some orthopedic concerns have pelvic components and our therapists are trained to help you address these as well.
Common orthopedic symptoms we treat:
SI joint pain
Low back pain
Hip pain
Knee pain
Pelvic girdle pain
Prenatal and Postpartum Pelvic Therapy
Pregnancy doesn’t have to be a super uncomfortable time in your life. Our pelvic floor therapists alleviate all pain and symptoms, as well as keep you active throughout all stages of pregnancy. During the postpartum period, our therapists will help you heal and get back to activities you love.
What we can help you with:
Decrease any coning & doming
Alleviate any leaking
Help you prepare for labor & delivery
Prevent birth-related trauma
Postpartum symptoms like leaking, diastasis, pain with intercourse, pelvic organ prolapse
C-section recovery
Urinary Leaking, Urgency, and Constipation
If you are leaking when you laugh, cough, sneeze, or jump, rushing to the bathroom when you put your keys in the door or take your shoes off, feel like you need to use the bathroom every time you see one, can’t seem to have a consistent schedule or can’t seem to go at all when it comes to bowel movements, pelvic therapy can help you. These symptoms can be incredibly frustrating and embarrassing and might be keeping you from doing the things you love, but this doesn’t need to be something you accept.
What we can help you with:
Leaking urine when you’re away from the bathroom: while coughing, sneezing, jumping, running, laughing, etc.
Feeling like you need to rush to the bathroom
If you have a high frequency of “just-in-case” peeing
Not being able to make it through the night without using the bathroom
Decreasing stomach and pelvic discomfort related to bowel movements
Relieving constipation
Decreasing urgency & frequency
Controlling unwanted loss of gas
Symptoms related to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
Prolapse or Pelvic Floor Heaviness
Prolapse and symptoms of prolapse can be scary, and we know that a quick search on the internet will give you lots of information about surgery and how “nothing can be done.”
This couldn’t be any further from the truth: you have options and pelvic therapy is your best first step. Many people have some degree of prolapse throughout their lives, often without knowing and “just do your kegels” is not the answer, it is much more complex than that and we can help.
We addresses prolapse with a whole-body approach through strengthening, internal and external manual therapies as needed, biomechanics, pressure management, and creating optimal bladder and bowel habits so that you can maximize your conservative treatment strategy.
What we can help you with:
Feeling of heaviness in the pelvic region
Seeing something different at the opening of the vagina
Prolapse diagnosis of any grade or stage
Post Surgical Care
If you’ve recently had an abdominal surgery, a hysterectomy, an endometriosis-related procedure, a prostatectomy, fibroid removal, prolapse surgery, a c-section, or any other procedure, we recommend you seek out pelvic floor therapy, so you can have a safe return to activities after surgery, a great pain management strategy, and specific treatment for any scars you have post-op.
Oftentimes, you will return from surgery with little explanation of how to care for the new incision, how to comfortably move, no information on when and how you can return to activity, or discouraged that you still have discomfort after recovering.
How we can help:
Education around activity for now and for the future and how to move with less pain
Decrease pain and discomfort at and around the surgical site
Improve scar mobility and appearance
Men’s Pelvic Floor Therapy
Pelvic therapy is not just for women, we all have a pelvic floor. Men’s pelvic floor dysfunction is incredibly prominent and is an underserved specialty. We are proud to offer treatment inside our clinic.
How we can help:
Relief of constipation
Prostatectomy recovery
Relief from tailbone pain or generalize pelvic floor pain
Sexual dysfunction

FAQs
-
Pelvic therapy is a specialized form of care that focuses on the muscles, nerves, joints, and tissues of the pelvis, abdomen, and low back. Pelvic floor physical therapy looks at how your core and pelvic muscles work together and addresses issues like leaking, pelvic pain, postpartum healing, and abdominal pressure. Unlike general physical therapy, pelvic therapy for women includes assessment of daily habits, childbirth history, sexual health, and lifestyle factors that influence pelvic function. Pelvic therapy for men helps with incontinence, sexual health, prostatitis, and more.
-
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.

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!

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.

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.
