Cyclists

Cyclists often experience pelvic floor issues like numbness, pain, and urinary or sexual dysfunction due to prolonged pressure from bike seats. Pelvic floor physical therapy addresses these problems through hands-on techniques, posture correction, and tailored exercises to relieve symptoms and prevent future issues.

Common Symptoms:

  • Numbness or pain in the perineal area

  • Pudendal nerve irritation

  • Pelvic floor muscle weakness or tightness

  • Lower back pain

  • Hip tightness or imbalance

  • Urinary urgency, frequency, or infections

  • Sexual dysfunction (painful sex, erectile issues)

How We Help: Our therapists use targeted manual therapy and corrective strategies to improve comfort and performance:

  • Myofascial release and trigger point therapy

  • Joint and pelvic alignment mobilization

  • Scar tissue and nerve pain treatment

  • Posture and bike fit recommendations

  • Neuromuscular retraining to restore coordination and strength

These techniques relieve pain, restore pelvic floor function, and support better cycling performance.

What to Expect: Your first visit includes a review of your history and a thorough pelvic exam assessing alignment, muscle health, and posture. An optional internal exam offers additional insights. Treatment starts immediately with personalized manual therapy, and most cyclists see significant improvement within the first few sessions.
