Hormones and Pelvic Floor Therapy
At Rome Physical Therapy, we specialize in supporting women through all stages of hormonal and pelvic health, helping you manage symptoms and improve overall quality of life. Hormonal changes throughout your menstrual cycle, during fertility treatments, and through pre- and post-menopause can have a profound effect on your pelvic floor, core stability, and musculoskeletal system. When these systems are impacted, it can lead to pain, discomfort, and dysfunction that interfere with daily life, intimacy, and athletic performance.
We then create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. This may include:
Pelvic floor therapy to improve strength, coordination, and relaxation
Core stability exercises to support the pelvis, spine, and hormonal changes
Myofascial release, scar tissue management, and soft tissue mobilization to reduce pelvic or abdominal tension
Breathing and relaxation techniques to improve mind-body connection and reduce pain
Exercise programs designed for hormonal balance, fertility support, and symptom reduction
By addressing the root causes of pelvic and hormonal symptoms, we help you reduce pain, improve function, and optimize reproductive and pelvic health. Our therapy can improve menstrual comfort, manage endometriosis pain, enhance pelvic support for PCOS, and even support your body during fertility treatments or menopausal transitions.
At Rome PT, we empower women to take control of their pelvic health and hormonal wellness, restore function, and regain confidence. We proudly serve surrounding Charleston communities including Mt. Pleasant, Summerville, and West Ashley, providing expert care for women experiencing hormonal, pelvic, and reproductive health challenges at every stage of life.
We help women address a wide range of issues, including:
Painful periods (dysmenorrhea) and menstrual cramps
Pelvic pain associated with endometriosis
Hormonal and pelvic dysfunction from PCOS
Infertility support through improved pelvic floor and core function
Pre-menopause and post-menopause symptoms, including urinary urgency, pelvic heaviness, low back, hip, or tailbone pain
Our approach is holistic and evidence-based. We start with a comprehensive pelvic floor and core assessment, examining the deep and superficial layers of the pelvic floor, your hip and spine alignment, and core coordination. We also evaluate the role of the internal pelvic organs and supporting ligaments, which can contribute to hormonal and pelvic pain symptoms.
