Pelvic pain can be hard to describe and easy to dismiss. We take time to listen, look carefully at what may be contributing, and build a plan around you.
Understanding It
About pelvic pain & dysfunction
Pelvic pain can feel like aching, pressure, sharp discomfort, or tension in the pelvis, hips, tailbone, or low back. It may come and go, or flare with sitting, exercise, or certain activities.
Pain in this area often involves several factors — muscle tension, joint mechanics, posture, breathing, stress, and past injuries or surgeries. Physical therapy takes a whole-person view and works alongside your medical providers.

FAQs
Questions women often ask
Prefer to talk it through? Call 678-765-0909.
What causes pelvic pain?
Pelvic pain can have many contributors, including muscle tension, joint or nerve irritation, posture, past injury or surgery, and medical conditions. Your physician can help rule out medical causes, and physical therapy focuses on the movement and muscle-related factors.
Can physical therapy help with pain during intimacy?
Discomfort with intimacy can sometimes be related to pelvic floor muscle tension or coordination. Your physical therapist can talk with you privately about whether pelvic floor care may be appropriate for your situation.
Do I need a diagnosis before starting?
Not always, but we recommend seeing your physician about new or unexplained pelvic pain. Physical therapy can work alongside your medical care.
