Pelvic Floor Pain & Issues

Pelvic floor muscles are similar to regular muscles—they can cause pain and discomfort. However, the pain often presents a bit differently and can be experienced as vaginal, rectal, clitoral, testicular, or penile pain. We treat all of these symptoms with the goal of restoring patients back to their pain-free levels.

Endometriosis Physical Therapy

Endometriosis is a condition in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside of it, often leading to chronic pelvic pain, painful periods, and discomfort during intercourse or bowel movements. While endometriosis is a medical diagnosis, its symptoms are frequently amplified by pelvic floor dysfunction, muscle guarding, and nervous system sensitization—areas that fall directly within the specialty of physical therapy. At Solstice Physiotherapy in New York, our physical therapists work with patients to release tension in the pelvic floor, improve tissue mobility, and calm an overactive nervous system, helping to reduce pain and improve daily function. Because endometriosis affects each person differently, we create individualized treatment plans that address not just the pelvic floor, but also the abdomen, hips, and surrounding structures that often contribute to symptoms. 

Bowel & Bladder Dysfunction

Digestive symptoms are often treated as if the gut is the only culprit—but that’s not the full picture. Bowel function and defecation are both mechanical and neuromuscular processes, which makes them very much within a physical therapist’s specialty. Proper bowel movements, gas regulation, and pressure management require coordination between your abdomen, pelvic floor, neuromuscular system, and diaphragm—and when that coordination is disrupted, you feel it. At Solstice Physiotherapy, we take pride in helping patients restore healthy bowel function and feel like their best selves again.

Lymphedema Physical Therapy

Lymphedema is a condition characterized by swelling, typically in the arms or legs, caused by a buildup of lymph fluid due to a compromised lymphatic system—often following cancer treatment, surgery, radiation, or trauma. While it’s a medical condition, managing lymphedema effectively relies heavily on specialized physical therapy techniques, including manual lymphatic drainage, compression therapy, and therapeutic exercise, all of which fall within a physical therapist’s expertise. At Solstice Physiotherapy in New York, our physical therapists are trained to help reduce swelling, improve circulation, and prevent further complications through hands-on treatment and personalized care. Because lymphedema can affect mobility, comfort, and quality of life, we create individualized treatment plans that address each patient’s unique needs, whether they’re managing a new diagnosis or a long-term condition.

Perimenopause & Menopause Physical Therapy

Menopause and perimenopause are natural transitional stages in a woman’s life, but that doesn’t mean they’re always easy. Perimenopause refers to the years leading up to menopause, when estrogen levels begin to fluctuate, while menopause is officially reached once an individual has gone 12 months without a menstrual period. Both stages mark the end of the reproductive years and can bring hormonal changes that affect many systems throughout the body. Some people experience only mild symptoms, while others find that these changes significantly impact their everyday lives. Pelvic floor therapy can be a valuable resource to support women through this stage, helping to ease symptoms and restore a sense of control and comfort.

Pregnancy & Postpartum Physical Therapy

Pregnancy and postpartum are powerful and transformative times that deserve expert care and guidance. At Solstice Physiotherapy, we take pride in being a part of an individual’s journey. Pelvic floor physical therapy helps reduce pain during pregnancy, prepare for birth, improve recovery after delivery, safely return to activities of your choice, and more.

Sexual Health Physical Therapy

Sexual health concerns—including pain during intercourse, decreased sensation, erectile dysfunction, and difficulty with arousal or orgasm—are often treated as purely psychological or hormonal issues, but the pelvic floor plays a critical role that’s frequently overlooked. Sexual function relies on coordinated muscle activity, proper blood flow, nerve sensitivity, and tissue mobility throughout the pelvic region—all areas within a physical therapist’s specialty. At Solstice Physiotherapy in New York, our physical therapists use manual therapy, pelvic floor rehabilitation, and individualized exercise programs to address muscle tension, weakness, or dysfunction that may be contributing to symptoms. We provide a private, judgment-free space where patients feel comfortable discussing sensitive concerns and receiving care tailored to their specific needs.

Transgender Physical Therapy

Gender-affirming care often involves hormone therapy and surgery, but physical therapy plays an important supporting role that’s frequently overlooked. Pelvic floor and postural changes can occur before, during, and after gender-affirming procedures—such as vaginoplasty, phalloplasty, top surgery, or hormone therapy—and addressing these changes falls within a physical therapist’s specialty. At Solstice Physiotherapy in New York, our physical therapists provide pre- and post-surgical care, including scar tissue mobilization, pelvic floor rehabilitation, dilator training, and postural or musculoskeletal support tailored to each patient’s transition goals. We offer a safe, affirming, and judgment-free space where patients can receive individualized care that respects their identity and unique needs. Our goal is to support patients through every stage of their journey, helping them heal, feel at home in their bodies, and move through life with confidence.
