What Is Pelvic Floor?

Pelvic Floor, like any other part of our body is composed of bones, muscles, ligaments and fascia, along with some vital organs such as the bladder, uterus, and rectum. Dysfunctions in the pelvic floor can therefore create issues in these organs as well. For example, if you have a very tight pelvic floor, you can experience pain with intercourse. Having a weak pelvic floor can also create symptoms like incontinence, prolapse and back pain!

How Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy Can Help?

With a thorough assessment, our skilled Physical Therapist will evaluate the muscle imbalances that may exist in the pelvic floor or any fascial restrictions which may be creating your symptoms. With both external and internal (per-vaginal) techniques, these restrictions/ weaknesses can be alleviated, in turn resolving your symptoms. Biofeedback equipment may also be utilized to give you instant feedback on muscle recruitment, strengthening, etc.

A large number of women suffer from pelvic floor dysfunctions. It is estimated that pelvic floor disorders affect about 10% of women ages 20 to 39 and 27% of women ages 40 to 59.

These dysfunctions can range from Incontinence, Pelvic Pain, Diastasis Recti, Prolapse, Interstitial Cystitis,
Bowel Dysfunctions, Lower Back Pain, Hip Pain and Sexual Dysfunctions.

Q: Do I Have To Live With Pelvic Floor Symptoms?

Most women assume that they will have to 'Live with it' and that 'It is normal to have these symptoms'. While it is common to develop dysfunction in the pelvic region, it is not something you need to live with! Most women are not aware that specialized Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy can help with their symptoms and it is very effective!

Q: I am pregnant, will you be able to treat my back or pelvis?

Yes! We are the only practice in Jersey City that offers treatment on a special table with Prenatal Cutout. You can lie face down and unload your back while the therapist is treating you. No need for bulky uncomfortable pillows. Our patients love it!

Q: Can I bring my baby with me?

Absolutely! We offer bouncers and rockers in each room for the comfort of your baby while you get treated. If possible, try to come without the baby for the first appointment since it involves more conversation and a thorough assessment before formulating the treatment plan. We also have a changing table in one of our spacious bathrooms.

I cannot recommend Liberty PT enough. I contacted the team during my second trimester of pregnancy as I had developed some severe pain and discomfort in my hips/pelvis. Through a series of virtual PT sessions, exercise and strengthening guidance, I began to see notable difference in my pain. Fast forward a few months and I am so much better!

PRE-NATAL HIP & PELVIS
Liberty PT is, by far, above my expectations. I asked around for a recommendation and had several, but went with Liberty PT as they came highly recommended for my specific problem, Pelvic Floor Dysfunction and Pelvic pain. You need to see therapists who are truly educated in this specific condition. Can’t say enough about this place!! A+++

PELVIC PAIN
Liberty Physical Therapy helped me tremendously with some lingering postpartum issues I had with my core/pelvic floor. I saw them for approximately 1.5 months and now I feel stronger, more stable and the mild back pain I had is gone. I’m already seeing the benefits of the treatment in my regular exercise routine. I highly recommend them!

POSTPARTUM REHAB

During and after my pregnancy I was getting treatment at Liberty PT, and I really like them so much. They are so knowledgeable and understood precisely about my problem. They combine manual therapy and exercises during the treatment and it helped release my pain a lot. The office is also very clean and comfortable.

PRE & POST PREGNANCY REHAB
I’ve been going to Liberty PT for the past month and a half for a misaligned pelvis. My body has been off balance pretty much for all of my life. After working with them, I’ve experienced a dramatic change in my posture, breathing, hip strength, and a host of other issues. I’ve been to many different physical therapists but Liberty PT is excellent.

PELVIS
I started going to Liberty PT six weeks after having my first baby for pelvic floor therapy and for diastasis recti. Having a baby is so traumatizing to the body. Pelvic floor therapy is very personal and I appreciate how they are professional but also warm and caring. I feel like they actually care about my progress. I recommend Liberty PT to every new mom!
