Pelvic Floor PT ?
-
Have we tried pelvic floor therapy? Has it helped with strength/anything else? I'm currently having lower back pain and my doctor recommended it but wondering if it's worth the hassle.

I did pelvic floor therapy at PT Solutions with Mackenzie Steiner who is a PT specialist (12 sessions) for painful sex, low back pain, and constipation … changed
mylife. I wish I had done this after both pregnancies and not just my second pregnancy. It was 100% covered by insurance and the experience was more like a “personal trainer” than anything else (I don’t know what I was expecting but you say pelvic floor and my mind goes a lot of places). Totallllyyyy worth it … I learned so much about my body and my issues were all solved. It ended up fixing a lot of other pain and body issues caused by the pregnancies I had been living with that I just hadn’t realized were lingering and easy to solve. Everyone’s experience and journey is different, but I could not celebrate or sing PT Solution’s praises more highly. If you’re on the fence I recommend trying it … you can always quit if it isn’t helping or it’s not for you. That’s the mindset I took when my doc recommended it as well. -
Worth it! Especially if you can get insurance to cover it, look into Origin PT in atx. It helped my lower back pain tremendously (L4&L5) and issues down there from two births. Most therapists will also do cupping and dry needling which really helps!! And they teach you exercises to help gain muscle back post baby.

I’ve seen a Pelvic Floor Therapist after both babies. One in Denver and one here. I love therapist I see now - ATX Pelvic Health, Dr Toussaint Biondi. She’s so knowledgeable and also pairs her recommendations with PT (Pilates).

I did not enjoy it. I found it invasive and hard to schedule. I switched to a chiropractor for lower back which targeted similar issues and liked that better.
