Discover how Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy can transform your health and well-being in Miami and surrounding areas.
By APRN Khrystyna Nehoda, Toxwell Med Spa & Wellness, Hallandale Beach, FL
At some point in life, many women and men in Miami and nearby areas find themselves dealing with pelvic discomfort, urinary incontinence, or unexplained lower back pain. Often, the cause lies hidden—literally and anatomically—in the pelvic floor. As an experienced APRN and aesthetic wellness professional at Toxwell Med Spa & Wellness, I've seen firsthand how Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy (PFPT) can change lives. But what exactly is it, and how does it help?
Let’s dive in.
WHAT IS PELVIC FLOOR PHYSICAL THERAPY?
Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy is a specialized form of physical therapy that targets the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues that support the pelvic organs, including the bladder, uterus, prostate, and rectum. These muscles are key in bowel and bladder control, sexual function, posture, and breathing.
Think of your pelvic floor like a hammock. When it’s strong and supportive, everything sits where it should. When it’s weak or overly tight, things get messy—sometimes literally. That’s where PFPT comes in.
WHY DO PEOPLE NEED PELVIC FLOOR PHYSICAL THERAPY?
You might be surprised by how many conditions relate to pelvic floor dysfunction:
Urinary incontinence
Fecal incontinence
Pelvic organ prolapse
Constipation
Pain during intercourse (dyspareunia)
Chronic pelvic pain
Interstitial cystitis
Endometriosis-related pain
Postpartum recovery
Erectile dysfunction
Tailbone pain (coccygodynia)
Lower back or hip pain with no apparent cause
Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy is not just for postpartum moms—although they certainly benefit—it’s for athletes, post-menopausal women, prostate surgery survivors, and anyone with mysterious pain “down there.”
WHO PROVIDES PELVIC FLOOR PHYSICAL THERAPY IN MIAMI?
At Toxwell Med Spa & Wellness near Hallandale Beach, I work alongside highly trained pelvic floor physical therapists specializing in personalized care. We’ve helped clients restore their confidence, comfort, and control from Miami Beach to Boca Raton.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING A PELVIC FLOOR PHYSICAL THERAPY SESSION?
Here’s where things get personal—in a good way. Your first appointment is about understanding your symptoms, medical history, and goals. After an initial conversation, your therapist may perform a physical examination that includes:
Postural analysis
Assessment of pelvic alignment and hip mobility
Internal or external evaluation of pelvic floor muscles
Breathing and core coordination analysis
From there, we build a customized therapy plan which may include:
Manual therapy
Biofeedback
Myofascial release
Pelvic floor exercises (like Kegels—but done correctly!)
Neuromuscular re-education
Behavior and lifestyle modification
IS IT PAINFUL OR EMBARRASSING?
Let’s be honest—talking about your pelvic floor isn’t something most people do over coffee. But in our clinic, your privacy, dignity, and comfort are paramount. Every session is conducted in a serene, respectful environment where your voice matters.
Yes, some therapies can feel intense, especially if your muscles are tight or inflamed. But pain is never the goal—healing is.
HOW DOES PELVIC FLOOR THERAPY WORK?
Picture this: If your biceps were too tight or weak, you’d feel it in your arm. The same goes for your pelvic floor. When those muscles aren’t functioning correctly, nearby structures like your bladder, bowels, or hips suffer. PFPT works by restoring balance, function, and coordination.
It retrains your muscles to engage and relax correctly—there will be no more random leaks during a laugh or pain after intimacy.
COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT PELVIC FLOOR PHYSICAL THERAPY
“It’s only for women.” Wrong. Men benefit greatly, especially after prostate surgery or if they suffer from chronic pelvic pain.
“It’s just about Kegels.” Not even close. Kegels are helpful, but only when prescribed correctly. PFPT is far more comprehensive.
“It’s a last resort.” It’s one of the best early interventions, especially post-childbirth, post-surgery, or when symptoms first arise.
