Women's Pelvic Floor Treatment in Los Altos, CA
Pelvic floor dysfunction is a common problem that often goes undiagnosed.
Our pelvic floor treatment plans can help through a variety of techniques.
What is Your Pelvic Floor?
If you’re experiencing urinary incontinence, back or pelvic floor pain, or any type of pelvic floor dysfunction, the first thing we want to do is make clear that we are familiar with your concern and that we have seen this before many times. This condition is NOT your fault. We know what causes it, that it is real. More importantly, we know just what to do about it and we can reassure you there IS hope for a HEALTHY future for you. One that is FREE from the frustration of pelvic floor issues.
Conditions We Treat
Our women's sexual health physical therapy addresses a wide range of concerns.
Leakage with coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercise (stress incontinence). Sudden urges that are hard to control (urge incontinence). Frequent bathroom trips.
Pain during or after sex, difficulty with penetration, vaginismus, or decreased sensation. Often related to tight muscles or scar tissue.
Chronic pain in the pelvis, vulva, vagina, or rectum. Pain with sitting, exercise, or daily activities. Often misdiagnosed or dismissed.
Constipation, fecal incontinence, difficulty emptying, or pain with bowel movements. Often related to pelvic floor coordination.
Feeling of heaviness, pressure, or "something falling out." Bladder, uterine, or rectal prolapse. PT can reduce symptoms and sometimes avoid surgery.
Healing after vaginal delivery or C-section. Diastasis recti, perineal tears, scar tissue, weakness, and return to exercise.

Patient Stories
"Alison is the most skilled PT that I have been treated by in a long time. She told me about a ligament "Uranus" problem today that I have never heard of being a PT myself. She also goes the extra mile in never cutting the hour short, in sending clarifying emails afterward, in keeping her hands on me truly treating and not just talking and documenting the session afterward mot during our time. Even though the package is very very expensive I am going to buy another one as a Christmas present for myself!!!!"
