Pelvic Floor Therapy in New York
Private, one-on-one pelvic floor therapy in New York for postpartum recovery, pelvic pain, and incontinence.
What is pelvic floor therapy?
Maybe you've been leaking a little when you laugh, sneeze, or pick up your toddler, and you've quietly started buying pads for it. Maybe sex has become painful, or you're still dealing with pelvic pressure years after delivery and no one has ever really examined why. That is real, and it is far more common and far more treatable than most people are told. Pelvic floor therapy is specialized physical therapy for the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissue that support your bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs.
When these muscles are too tight, too weak, or not coordinating well, the result can be pain, leakage, pressure, or discomfort that many people are told to simply live with. A pelvic floor therapist evaluates how these muscles are functioning and builds a private, one-on-one plan to retrain them, whether you are recovering from childbirth, managing pelvic pain, or working through incontinence.
This is sensitive work, and it is treated that way. Every evaluation and treatment is conducted with full consent, clear communication at each step, and complete privacy, so you always know what to expect before it happens. Your therapist explains every technique before using it, and you are always in control of the pace.
Who it's for.
Pelvic floor concerns show up at every stage of life. These are the people who benefit most from care here.
Recovering after childbirth
Pregnancy and delivery place real demands on your pelvic floor. We help you rebuild strength and function so you feel like yourself again, not just cleared at your six-week checkup. That includes addressing scar tissue, diastasis recti, and the core weakness a quick OB visit rarely has time to cover.
Living with pelvic pain or leakage
Pain, pressure, or unexpected leakage is common, but it is not something you have to accept permanently. We identify the muscular cause and retrain the pattern, whether that means calming muscles that are gripping too hard or strengthening ones that have gone quiet.
Preparing during pregnancy
We help you manage pregnancy-related pelvic pain and prepare your body for delivery and the recovery that follows. Learning to coordinate and relax these muscles before delivery can make the recovery afterward considerably easier.
What to expect in a session.
Every visit is private, unhurried, and led entirely at your pace. Here is how a typical session runs.
Private consultation & assessment
We start with a conversation about your history and goals, then a thorough evaluation of pelvic floor function, always at your pace and with your consent at every step. Nothing happens without you understanding why first, and any internal assessment is explained fully before it ever begins.
Hands-on & guided retraining
Manual techniques and guided exercises retrain the coordination and strength of the pelvic floor muscles specific to your findings. Some patients need to learn to relax muscles that are gripping too hard, others need to build strength in muscles that have gone weak, and many need both.
Home program & progression
You leave with a clear, private home program that keeps progress moving between visits. Your therapist adjusts the plan as your symptoms change, and most patients notice a meaningful shift within the first several visits.
Pelvic floor evaluation and treatment may include internal manual assessment. This is always explained in advance, fully optional, and conducted only with your informed consent in a private treatment room, and you can stop or decline at any point. If you are pregnant, recently had surgery, or have a condition your physician has flagged, tell your therapist before your evaluation so your plan can be adjusted safely.
I came here four months post baby and my recovery would not have been possible without working with Dr. Monica. I was still very much struggling with pain throughout my body and she made me feel seen and heard throughout the process. It took me over 30 minutes to walk to her office the first day and only 10 minutes the last day, which made me feel like my old self again.
