Pelvic Pain & Physical Therapy
Expert, Supportive Care for Pelvic Pain
Pelvic pain can affect every part of your life—how you move, rest, and connect with others.
At Connect NW Physical Therapy & Wellness, we provide compassionate, evidence-based care that considers your body, nervous system, and other factors like sleep, stress, and daily habits.
No matter the cause, we’re here to listen, support you, and help you regain control and confidence.
Care for Pelvic Pain & Sensitivity
Pelvic pain or discomfort and tension can show up in many ways—and you don’t have to navigate it alone.
Physical therapy can help with:
● Discomfort or difficulty with penetration (vaginal, rectal, or sexual)
● Symptoms related to endometriosis or scar tissue
● Pain or discomfort associated with fibromyalgia or Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS)
● Vulvar sensitivity or irritation
● Symptoms that worsen with sitting, movement, or physical activity
● Chronic feelings of pelvic tightness, heaviness, or pressure
Why Pain Is Multifactorial
Pelvic pain is often mulitfactorial. It can stem from tissue changes (like tight muscles, irritated nerves, or restricted fascia) and from how your nervous system has adapted in response to ongoing discomfort or stress.
Our care looks at the whole picture: what’s happening in your body and how your brain and nervous system are interpreting and responding to pain.
How Physical Therapy Can Help
We tailor treatment to your unique experience, combining a blend of manual therapy, movement strategies, and pain education to help reduce symptoms.
-
Gentle, hands-on techniques that work with your nervous system to help your pelvic floor and surrounding muscles soften, release tension, and restore balanced function. By calming nerve input and improving tissue mobility, manual therapy can reduce sensitivity and support lasting comfort.
-
Guided, safe movement that helps you build strength, improve coordination, and reconnect with your body in a way that feels supportive—not triggering.
-
Understanding how pain works can be incredibly empowering. We’ll help you make sense of your symptoms and give you tools to calm your nervous system, manage flares, and regain a sense of control.
A Collaborative and Empowering Approach
We work at your pace and in partnership with you. If helpful, we can also collaborate with your broader care team—so you’re supported on all fronts.
Our goal is to help you feel more comfortable, more in control, and more confident in your body.
Pain Can Improve—And So Can Your Quality of Life
Living with persistent pain can be exhausting, but you don’t have to face it alone. With the right support, you can reduce symptoms and get back to what matters most. We’re here to help you feel informed, supported, and in control.
