Bladder, bowel, or core changes following pelvic or abdominal surgery
Feeling disconnected from your core or unsure what’s "safe" to do
What Treatment Can Look Like
Guided rehabilitation matched to your specific surgery and stage of healing: scar-tissue mobilization, pelvic floor and deep-core retraining, posture and movement optimization, and a gradual, well-sequenced return-to-activity plan so healing is both safe and complete.

The Role of Pelvic Floor Therapy in Post-Surgical Recovery
Surgery heals the structure, but the surrounding muscles, fascia, and scar tissue often need rehab to move and load well again - and that is exactly what pelvic floor therapy provides. Scar tissue can tether nearby tissues and refer pain or dysfunction well beyond the incision; the core and pelvic floor frequently go quiet or uncoordinated after abdominal and pelvic procedures. Rehabilitation for scar mobility and core/pelvic-floor recovery is a well-established part of restoring full function after surgery.
How Pelvic Floor Therapy Helps
Once you’re cleared by your surgeon, we mobilize and desensitize scar tissue so it glides instead of pulls, wake up and reconnect a core that’s been offline, and rebuild strength and movement in a deliberate progression rather than a hopeful leap. We bridge the gap between "your incision has healed" and "you feel like yourself again," with a plan tailored to your procedure, your goals, and your timeline.
When to Begin
Early, gentle scar and breathing work can often start soon after surgery, with more active rehab layered in as your surgeon clears you. If your surgery was months or years ago and you still don’t feel right, it’s not too late - old scar tissue and lingering core changes respond to skilled care.
