Pelvic pain can affect anyone — and it’s more common than most people realize. Whether it’s a dull ache, sharp discomfort, or pressure in the lower abdomen or pelvic area, pelvic pain can interfere with your daily life, relationships, exercise, and overall well-being.
At Pulse Physical Therapy in Hinsdale, we specialize in treating pelvic pain and pelvic floor dysfunction through gentle, personalized care that addresses the root cause—not just the symptoms.
Pelvic pain refers to pain or discomfort felt anywhere in the lower abdomen, hips, groin, or pelvic floor. It may come and go or be constant. Some people describe it as pressure, heaviness, or tightness in the pelvic region.
Pelvic pain can stem from many different causes, including:
Because these areas are all connected, it often takes a whole-body approach to identify the real source of the pain.
Pelvic floor physical therapy is one of the most effective, evidence-based treatments for chronic pelvic pain. The pelvic floor is a group of muscles, ligaments, orthopedic rehab associates and connective tissues that support your bladder, uterus, and bowel. When these muscles become too tight, weak, or uncoordinated, pain and other symptoms can develop.
Your physical therapist will design a customized program to restore strength, flexibility, and balance to the pelvic region. Treatment may include:
1. Gentle Manual Therapy
Hands-on techniques to release tight muscles, reduce scar tissue restrictions, and improve blood flow.
2. Relaxation and Breathing Training
Learning how to relax your pelvic floor muscles and diaphragm can significantly decrease pain and tension.
3. Strengthening and Coordination Exercises
Targeted exercises help you regain control of your pelvic floor and core muscles, improving stability and posture.
4. Posture and Movement Training
Since pelvic pain often relates to body mechanics, your therapist may address hip and spine alignment to reduce strain.
5. Education and Lifestyle Guidance
You’ll learn strategies for pain management, bladder and bowel habits, sexual health comfort, and stress reduction.
At Pulse Physical Therapy, we treat a wide range of pelvic health conditions, including:
We work closely with you and your healthcare provider to create a coordinated care plan focused on long-term relief.

From there, we’ll build a personalized treatment plan that fits your comfort level and progresses at your own pace. Our goal is to help you move comfortably, regain confidence, and feel like yourself again.
Pelvic pain is common—but it’s not normal, and it’s treatable. With the right therapy and support, you can heal, move freely, and reclaim your quality of life.
