We will start with a comprehensive 90-minute assessment, including a detailed internal and external pelvic examination, conducted with consent, to identify the root causes of your concerns. Following the assessment, we'll discuss a customized care plan and review the available package options tailored to your needs.

On average, patients complete 8-12 sessions over 3-6 months. While that may seem longer than expected, this approximate duration of care is needed to fully address the cause of your pain. Many of these issues take time to develop, so it requires a consistent approach to make lasting improvements and ensure you're fully recovered, not just temporarily symptom-free.

Our goal is to help you achieve long-term health and prevent future setbacks, so once you finish therapy at Amplify, you won’t need to return for the same problems.

Some patients opt for a maintenance plan after treatment, with monthly or quarterly check-ins to catch any potential issues, but that decision is entirely up to you.

Pelvic organ prolapse

Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when the muscles and tissues supporting the pelvic organs (bladder, bowel, rectum, or uterus) weaken, causing one or more of these organs to slip down into or protrude from the vaginal canal. It can result in symptoms like a feeling of fullness or pressure in the pelvic area, urinary or bowel issues, or vaginal bulging.

Stress incontinence

Stress incontinence is the involuntary leakage of urine that occurs when pressure is placed on the bladder, such as during activities like coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercising. It happens when the muscles and tissues that control the bladder become weakened, often due to pregnancy, childbirth, aging, or pelvic floor dysfunction.

Urinary Urgency

Urinary urgency is the sudden, strong need to urinate, often accompanied by the fear of not making it to the bathroom in time. Frequency refers to needing to urinate more often than usual, sometimes in small amounts. These symptoms can be caused by bladder irritation, infections, or pelvic floor dysfunction.



Constipation

Constipation is a condition where bowel movements become infrequent, difficult, or painful. It can involve hard, dry stools, discomfort, and a feeling of incomplete evacuation. Causes include poor diet, dehydration, lack of exercise, or pelvic floor issues that affect the ability to properly evacuate the bowels.



Pelvic pain

Pelvic pain refers to discomfort or aching in the lower abdomen or pelvic region, which can be caused by various conditions such as pelvic floor dysfunction, endometriosis, uterine issues, or muscle imbalances. It may also result from trauma, infection, or nerve irritation in the pelvic area.

SI Joint Dysfunction 

SI (sacroiliac) joint dysfunction occurs when the sacroiliac joints, which connect the lower spine to the pelvis, become inflamed or misaligned. This can cause lower back or buttock pain, and may be worsened by movement, standing, or sitting for long periods.

Hip & Low Back Pain

Hip and low back pain often go hand-in-hand and can result from issues like muscle strain, arthritis, or spinal problems. Pain in these areas may be caused by poor posture, overuse, or injury, and is commonly associated with imbalances in the muscles or joints that support the hips and lower spine.



fecal incontinence

Fecal incontinence is the inability to control bowel movements, leading to the involuntary leakage of stool. It can be caused by muscle weakness, nerve damage, or issues with the anal sphincter, often resulting from childbirth, aging, or gastrointestinal disorders.



Dyspareunia (Pain with intercourse) 

Dyspareunia refers to persistent or recurrent pain during or after sexual intercourse. This pain can occur during initial penetration or during deep penetration.
Vaginismus, a form of dyspareunia, is a condition where the pelvic floor muscles involuntarily tighten or spasm during attempted intercourse, making penetration painful or even impossible.


Coital Incontinence 

Coital incontinence is the involuntary leakage of urine during sexual activity. It typically occurs due to weak pelvic floor muscles or bladder dysfunction.



Pregnancy + Postpartum

wellness & Prep

Pelvic floor therapy during pregnancy and postpartum focuses on preparing the pelvic floor for the demands of childbirth and supporting recovery afterward.

Therapy helps strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, improve posture, and relieve discomfort like back or pelvic pain, while preparing the body for labor and delivery. It also helps manage symptoms like urinary incontinence or pelvic pressure.

During Pregnancy

Postpartum

After childbirth, pelvic floor therapy aids in recovery by restoring muscle strength, addressing incontinence, and preventing or treating pelvic organ prolapse. It also helps with pain, such as dyspareunia (painful intercourse) or pelvic floor dysfunction, ensuring a healthier recovery and return to physical activity.

Pelvic floor therapy can also be key in preventing long-term issues related to pregnancy and childbirth.

C-section recovery 

C-section recovery focuses on healing after a cesarean delivery, which involves both physical and emotional healing. Therapy may address scar tissue, improve abdominal strength, and help restore pelvic floor function. The goal is to reduce pain, prevent complications, and restore core strength for everyday activities.

Diastasis Recti (DRA) 

Diastasis Recti is the separation of the abdominal muscles (rectus abdominis) along the midline, often occurring during pregnancy or after childbirth. It can lead to a weakened core, back pain, and difficulty with certain movements. Pelvic floor therapy and specific exercises can help close the gap and strengthen the abdominal muscles.

Core Weakness

Core weakness refers to a lack of strength and stability in the muscles that support the spine, pelvis, and abdomen. This can lead to poor posture, back pain, and difficulty with balance or physical activity. Strengthening the core through targeted exercises is key to improving function and preventing injury.

Promote overall wellness and comfort

Perimenopause is the transitional phase leading up to menopause, where hormonal fluctuations can affect the pelvic floor muscles, leading to symptoms like urinary incontinence, vaginal dryness, and pelvic organ prolapse. Postmenopause refers to the years after menopause, when the lack of estrogen may further weaken pelvic floor muscles, leading to increased risk of incontinence, prolapse, and sexual discomfort.
