Pelvic floor therapy is a specialized area of physical therapy focused on restoring healthy bladder, bowel, and sexual function. At Pulse Physical Therapy in Hinsdale, our team provides compassionate, evidence-based care for all individuals seeking to improve pelvic health, comfort, and confidence.

What is pelvic floor dysfunction?
Pelvic floor dysfunction refers to a wide range of conditions that affect the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues of the pelvic muscles.

These muscles and connective tissues play a crucial role in supporting pelvic organs, controlling bladder and bowel function, and facilitating sexual function. Pelvic floor dysfunction can manifest in various ways.

What to expect in a pelvic floor physical therapy session:
In a pelvic floor physical therapy session, you can expect a thorough and personalized approach tailored to your needs and preferences. Here’s what typically occurs:

Medical History and Goal Setting: Your therapist will begin by discussing your medical history, current lifestyle, and future goals related to pelvic health. This information helps guide the treatment plan.
Movement Assessment: Your therapist will assess your movement patterns, strength, and mobility, focusing on areas relevant to pelvic floor dysfunction. This may involve various exercises and movements to evaluate your pelvic floor and surrounding muscles.
Internal Exam (Optional): While an internal examination may be suggested for a more comprehensive assessment, it is never mandatory. Your comfort and preferences are prioritized. If you choose to proceed with an internal exam, your therapist will explain the procedure and ensure you feel supported throughout.
Customized Exercise Program: Based on the evaluation findings and your goals, your therapist will create a customized exercise program tailored to your specific needs. This program may include pelvic floor exercises, stretches, strengthening exercises, and other therapeutic techniques for your pelvic floor muscles.
Collaboration and Adaptation: Collaboration between you and your therapist is essential. Your therapist will work closely with you to ensure the exercise program aligns with your lifestyle and preferences. If you have constraints or preferences regarding time or activities, your therapist will adapt the program accordingly to ensure it fits seamlessly into your routine.

They can review birthing positions, look at your low back pain, or teach you how to kegel. They will prescribe pregnant-appropriate exercises to reduce your current pain and make you strong for labor and delivery!

Foot function plays a vital role in the health of your entire body. When your feet are not properly aligned or supported, it can lead to pain not only in the feet but also in the knees, hips, and lower back. Custom orthotics provide corrective support that helps restore balance, improve movement, and reduce strain on the joints. The result is better stability, improved comfort, and an overall enhancement in quality of life.

Using the TOG GaitScan™ system, the most advanced gait analysis technology available, we analyze how you walk, stand, and distribute pressure through your feet. This comprehensive assessment allows us to identify areas of imbalance or dysfunction that may be contributing to pain or limiting performance.

   type of orthotic for your needs, whether for daily use, work, or sports.
3. Custom Fabrication: Your orthotics are built specifically for you, ensuring maximum
   comfort, function, and long-term results.
4. Follow-Up Support: We monitor your progress and make adjustments as needed to ensure
