Have you ever been told your pelvic floor symptoms—like leaking when you laugh, pain after childbirth, or discomfort during workouts—are “just something you’ll have to live with”?
Let’s challenge that assumption immediately. Common does not mean normal.
If you’re struggling with pelvic floor issues, core weakness, or uncomfortable symptoms that you’ve been told are “just part of life,” it’s time we had a heart-to-heart. You deserve better.
I’m Dr. Sheridan Kent, and at REACH Rehab + Chiropractic, we take pelvic floor health seriously—because it impacts your daily life in ways that go far beyond the obvious.
Understanding Pelvic Floor Dysfunction (and Why Kegels Aren’t the Answer)
Pelvic floor dysfunction happens when the muscles supporting your pelvic organs become too tight, too weak, or fail to coordinate properly. Most people assume pelvic floor issues only come from childbirth, but that’s just one part of the story.
Yes, childbirth is a common contributor. But pelvic floor dysfunction also impacts:
- Athletes and active women engaging in high-impact activities
- Women going through hormonal changes, including perimenopause and menopause
- Individuals recovering from pelvic or abdominal surgeries
- Anyone experiencing long-term poor posture, core weakness, or even everyday habits like constantly “sucking in” your stomach or wearing overly tight clothing (thanks, society!)
Here’s the groundbreaking insight most healthcare providers overlook: pelvic floor problems aren’t isolated muscle issues—they’re whole-body issues.
A Whole-Body, Holistic Approach to Pelvic Floor and Core Strength
The traditional advice of “just do more Kegels” falls flat because it oversimplifies a complex, interconnected system. Imagine constantly tightening your fist to get stronger. Eventually, it would fatigue, become sore, and lose flexibility. Your pelvic floor works the exact same way.
That’s why at REACH, we ditch outdated “one-size-fits-all” solutions. Instead, we take a holistic, whole-body approach that incorporates your spine, pelvis, breathing patterns, and everyday movement habits. This is where true, lasting improvement happens.
Our care isn’t just about addressing symptoms—it’s about giving you the strength and confidence to move freely through your daily life. Your personalized plan may include:
- Gentle chiropractic care that restores spinal and pelvic alignment and mobility
- Functional movement exercises reflecting real-life demands—lifting your child, running, squatting, or simply getting through your busy day
- Targeted external soft tissue therapies, like myofascial release and trigger point therapy, to relieve muscle tension and enhance your mobility
- Strategic lifestyle guidance, empowering you with practical daily habits that reinforce your healing
Our approach is designed around one core truth: your pelvic floor doesn’t need constant tension—it needs balanced strength and mobility.
How Chiropractic Care Transforms Pelvic Floor Health (Without Invasive Procedures)
You might not initially think of chiropractic care for pelvic floor concerns, but the truth is, your pelvic floor doesn’t exist in isolation. It’s intimately connected to the function and alignment of your spine, pelvis, and core muscles.
At REACH Rehab + Chiropractic, our chiropractic approach provides a strong foundation for pelvic health by:
- Restoring spinal and pelvic alignment: Reducing mechanical stress that directly affects pelvic floor function.
- Enhancing core muscle activation: Helping your core muscles coordinate effectively with your pelvic floor through tailored movement strategies.
- Relieving muscular tension: External soft tissue therapies that help pelvic floor muscles relax and contract naturally.
And the best part? We achieve powerful results without invasive procedures or uncomfortable internal treatments.
However, there are cases where internal treatments are necessary, and we have trusted pelvic floor physical therapy professionals on our court whom we can refer you to for co-managed care!
