Pelvic Pain Conditions
Pelvic pain can present in many ways and may be constant or occur with certain movements, sitting, exercise, or intimacy. Pelvic floor dysfunction, muscle tension, nerve irritation, or previous injury can all contribute to ongoing symptoms.
Pelvic floor physical therapy can help address:
Chronic pelvic pain
Pain with sitting or prolonged positions
Tailbone (coccyx) pain
Pelvic muscle tension or guarding
Pain related to previous injury, childbirth, or surgery
Treatment may include gentle manual therapy, pelvic floor relaxation strategies, mobility work, and movement retraining to reduce tension and restore comfort.
Low Back & Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Pain
The sacroiliac joints and lower back play a critical role in supporting the pelvis and transferring force through the body during movement. When these joints become irritated or unstable, pain may develop in the low back, hips, buttocks, or pelvis.
Our approach to low back and SI joint pain focuses on:
Identifying movement patterns that contribute to strain
Improving core and pelvic floor coordination
Restoring stabilitythrough targeted strengthening
Reducing muscular tension that affects pelvic alignment
By improving how the pelvis, spine, and core work together, therapy can help relieve pain and improve overall movement efficiency.
Hip & Pelvic Mobility
Restricted mobility in the hips or pelvis can place additional stress on surrounding muscles and joints, often contributing to both pelvic and low back discomfort.
Pelvic health physical therapy may include:
Hip mobility and joint movement exercises
Soft tissue work to reduce muscle tension
Postural and movement analysis
Strengthening for the hips, glutes, and deep core muscles
Improving mobility and strength in these areas helps support better pelvic stability and reduces strain during daily activities, exercise, and work.
Tailbone (Coccyx) Pain
Tailbone pain can develop after falls, prolonged sitting, childbirth, or repetitive strain. This condition can make sitting, standing transitions, and daily activities uncomfortable.
Treatment may focus on:
Reducing muscle tension around the pelvic floor and tailbone
Improving pelvic alignment and mobility
Teaching sitting strategies to reduce pressure on the coccyx
Strengthening surrounding muscles for improved support
With targeted care, many people experience meaningful relief and improved tolerance for sitting and movement.
Understanding Pelvic Pain & Related Musculoskeletal Conditions
Pelvic pain and orthopedic conditions affecting the hips, spine, and pelvis are often closely connected. The pelvic floor muscles work together with the core, hips, and lower back to support movement, stability, and daily function. When one part of this system becomes irritated, tense, or weak, it can contribute to persistent discomfort or pain.
At Lotus Pelvic Health, we take a whole-body approach to evaluating pelvic pain and related orthopedic conditions. Our care focuses on identifying the underlying cause of symptoms and developing a treatment plan that improves mobility, restores muscle balance, and reduces strain on sensitive tissues.
