Pelvic Pain

Pelvic Physical Therapy Support in Boca Raton & Fort Lauderdale

Pelvic pain is common but it is not normal. If you experience persistent discomfort in your lower abdomen, vulva, tailbone, hips, or deep pelvis, and you’ve been told “everything looks normal,” you deserve a more thorough approach. Pelvic pain is often multifactorial involving muscles, connective tissue, joints, nerves, and the nervous system itself. Physical therapy addresses the musculoskeletal and neuromuscular contributors to chronic pelvic pain.

Common Symptoms of Pelvic Pain

  • Deep pelvic aching

  • Tailbone pain (coccyx pain)

  • Pain with sitting

  • Vulvar burning or irritation

  • Lower abdominal pain

  • Hip or groin pain

  • Pain after trauma or surgery

  • Pain that worsens with stress

How Can Physical Therapy Help?

Chronic pelvic pain often leads to protective muscle guarding, decreased mobility, and nervous system sensitization.

Over time this can create:

  • Pelvic floor overactivity

  • Fascial restriction

  • Reduced blood flow

  • Joint dysfunction

  • Heightened pain response

Physical therapy focuses on restoring mobility, improving muscle coordination, and calming the nervous system.

In Our Sessions We May Work On:

  • Pelvic floor relaxation training

  • Manual therapy and myofascial release

  • Hip and sacroiliac joint mobility

  • Tailbone mobilization (if appropriate)

  • Breathwork and nervous system regulation

  • Core and glute retraining

  • Graded movement exposure

Internal pelvic work is always optional and consent-based.
