Your body did something amazing. Pelvic floor therapy helps it feel strong, supported, and fully yours again.
It helps put things back where they belong. - Dr. A
Dr. Adams often shares this with a smile on our webinars. It is one of her favorite recommendations for moms after a vaginal birth, and the research is right there with her.
Every woman can benefit from pelvic floor therapy. A little leak when you sneeze or laugh is more common than most people realize, and may worsen over time. You do not have to live with it, and you are not alone.
Pelvic floor physical therapy uses biofeedback and guided exercises to strengthen the muscles at the base of your pelvis. It reaches far past a simple Kegel, and it can help treat a wide range of concerns:
Whether you welcomed your baby vaginally or by cesarean, your pelvic floor did a lot of work. Therapy is recommended after all deliveries to help you recover fully.
Full Circle Women's Care has a licensed pelvic floor physical therapist right here on staff to guide you through a program built around your needs.

As the premier OB/GYN practice in the county, our providers are in high demand. Unlike other practices, we never double-book appointments, ensuring you receive the personalized attention you deserve. Unless an unexpected emergency arises on our end, 95% of our patients are seen on time, every time. We deeply respect your time, just as we do our own.
When should I schedule my first gynecological visit, and how often after that?
Most guidance points to an initial visit between ages 13 and 15, often just a conversation rather than an exam, with annual visits afterward. ACOG recommends that every woman aged 21 and older have an annual well-woman visit with her obstetrician-gynecologist, regardless of whether cervical cancer screening is performed.
These visits are essential for assessing overall health, providing preventive care, and discussing lifestyle factors.
What's the difference between a Pap smear and a pelvic exam, and how often do I need one?
These are often confused, but they are not the same thing. A Pap smear screens for changes in the cells of the cervix and is typically recommended at intervals based on your age and health history. A pelvic exam is a broader physical exam of the reproductive organs and may be performed more frequently, depending on your individual needs.
Contact our office to discuss the screening schedule that's right for you.
Is what I'm experiencing with my period normal?
Contact our office to schedule a problem visit where we will discuss irregular cycles, heavy bleeding, severe cramping, or symptoms that are causing you discomfort or concern.
Why is my pelvic pain happening, and when should I be concerned?
Pelvic pain is discomfort in the area below your belly button and between your hips. It may feel sharp, stabbing, or burning. If your pain is severe or affecting your daily life, contact our office to schedule a problem visit.
