Pelvic pain is NOT normal.
Pelvic pain in women is a complex and often misunderstood condition that can impact daily life, relationships, and overall well-being. It may be acute (short-term) or chronic (lasting more than six months), with causes ranging from muscle tension and injury to underlying medical conditions.

What We Can Do
- Improve soft tissue mobility: the better your tissues move around the abdomen and pelvis, the better they can adapt to your movements and other internal changes.
- Create improved movement patterns: if certain areas are overworked or underworked, they can cause pain. Our goal is to balance how you use your body so you can move more efficiently.
- Learn to listen: your body is likely telling you things that you haven’t learned to listen to. We will learn how to take your own body’s cues to keep you from feeling pain in the first place, and what to do if you do have pain signals.
