What Does a Pelvic Floor Therapist Do?
Pelvic floor PTs assess and treat dysfunction in the muscles that support the bladder, uterus, and rectum. During pregnancy, they address low back pain, pelvic girdle pain, and prepare the pelvic floor for birth. Postpartum, they help with urinary incontinence, prolapse, diastasis recti (abdominal separation), pain during intimacy, and safe return to exercise. Treatment includes manual therapy, targeted exercises, biofeedback, and education about body mechanics.
Common credentials
How to Choose a Pelvic Floor Therapist in Gainesville
Look for a physical therapist with additional training in pelvic floor rehabilitation — many have completed specialized certifications or residencies.
Ask if they treat pregnant patients and postpartum patients, as some PTs specialize in one or the other.
Confirm that internal assessment is available — this is the gold standard for pelvic floor evaluation, though external-only options exist if you prefer.
Check if they have experience with your specific concern (incontinence, prolapse, diastasis recti, pelvic pain, return to running).
Ask about their approach to exercise guidance and whether they work with athletes or fitness enthusiasts returning to activity after birth.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pelvic Floor Therapists in Gainesville
What does a pelvic floor therapist do?
A pelvic floor PT assesses the strength, coordination, and function of the muscles that support your bladder, uterus, and rectum. They treat conditions like urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, diastasis recti, pain during intimacy, pelvic girdle pain, and core weakness through targeted exercises, manual therapy, biofeedback, and education.
When should I see a pelvic floor therapist after birth?
Many providers recommend a pelvic floor assessment around 6 weeks postpartum, though you can start sooner if you are experiencing pain, incontinence, or heaviness. Some countries routinely refer all postpartum patients for pelvic floor PT, and the practice is gaining traction in the United States. Prenatal pelvic floor work is also beneficial.
Does pelvic floor therapy hurt?
Pelvic floor PT should not be painful. Internal assessments may feel unusual but should not cause pain. If you have pelvic pain, the therapist will work within your comfort level and progress gradually. External-only assessment and treatment options are available if you prefer.
Is pelvic floor therapy covered by insurance?
Yes, pelvic floor PT is typically covered as physical therapy under most insurance plans. You may need a referral from your physician or midwife. Some plans have visit limits, so verify your benefits. HSA and FSA funds can also be used.
