Transgender Care Program

Welcome! We are thrilled you made your way to this space and are considering pelvic floor physical therapy in conjunction with your gender affirmation journey. At Pelvic Pride Physical Therapy, you will find a safe and welcoming environment which we believe is vital in your experience with pelvic floor physical therapy. 

Depending on the stage you are at in your journey, you may have a deep understanding of the process for your upcoming surgery OR you may be doing your research to figure out what to expect. Regardless of where you are in your journey, we are here to help!

The primary focus of pelvic floor therapy during your gender affirmation journey is to:

• Provide pre-surgical pelvic floor assessment for bottom surgery (requested by most area surgeons) as well as treatment as needed to ensure optimal outcomes during your recovery postsurgical
• Educate you on the function of the pelvic floor, bowel, and bladder before and after surgery to ensure everything moves smoothly
• Assist you in troubleshooting your dilator routine post vaginoplasty (or helping you establish one if you haven't already)
• Address scar tissue restrictions that result from surgery which can cause
• restrictions in your muscles and connective tissues (i.e. fascia) which can affect muscle function
• hyper-sensitivity which can cause pain/discomfort to the touch 
• Ensure ease with your return to all desired activities including intimacy, exercise, and whatever activities you like to do for fun!

The surgeries we help patients with include:

• vaginoplasty
• phalloplasty
• metoidioplasty
• scrotoplasty
• hysterectomy
• chest surgery
• breast augmentation
  

We also help our patients tackle any issues related to binding or tucking.

Are you looking for a safe space to seek treatment for an issue not related to the pelvic floor?

• At Pelvic Pride, we make it our mission to ensure every patient feels safe and welcome here without fear of being misgendered, mistreated, or dismissed. While we are the pelvic health experts, we still treat patients for issues from head to toe. So whether you are having some neck and shoulder pain from working from home, lingering low back pain, not feeling quite right during your exercise routine, or any other orthopedic issues you can imagine, you have come to the right place!
