Women's Health and Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy
Specialized, private care for pelvic health concerns at every stage of life.
About this care
Your pelvic floor is a group of muscles that support the bladder, bowel, and uterus, and help control how those organs work. When these muscles are weak, tight, or not coordinating well, the result can be leaking, pressure, pain, or discomfort. Pelvic floor physical therapy uses gentle, hands-on techniques, guided exercises, and education to help these muscles work the way they should.
Women's health physical therapy covers many stages of life. That includes care during pregnancy to prepare the body for birth, recovery after delivery, support during and after menopause, and help with concerns that can show up at any age. The goal is to address the root cause of a problem rather than simply working around it.
At 3DPT, this care is led by Kimberly Edwards, DPT, who earned her CAPP certification in pelvic health in 2017 through the Academy of Pelvic Health Physical Therapy. She brings advanced training to each visit and meets you where you are with patience and respect.

How it can help
Common questions
Is pelvic floor therapy uncomfortable or invasive?
Care is gentle and always within your comfort. An internal exam can give useful information, but it is never required. You decide what you are comfortable with, and your therapist explains each step before it happens.
I had my baby a while ago. Is it too late to get help?
No. Many women seek care months or years after delivery, and improvement is still very possible. Your pelvic floor can respond to therapy long after the postpartum period.
Do I need a referral from my doctor to come in?
Requirements can depend on your insurance, so it is worth a quick call to our office. We are glad to walk you through next steps and help you get started.
