Pelvic and abdominal surgeries can affect muscle strength, scar mobility, bladder and bowel function, sexual health, and overall movement patterns. Even when a surgery is successful, the body still has to adapt, heal, and relearn coordination. Pelvic physical therapy helps guide that recovery safely and progressively. We work with both men and women after pelvic and abdominal procedures to restore strength, reduce pain, improve mobility, and rebuild confidence.
