Pelvic floor dysfunction treatment at home

Pelvic floor dysfunction affects millions of women, yet most go untreated or wait years to find care.¹ ² Symptoms such as pelvic pain, leakage, or pressure can be distressing, but they are not inevitable. With new digital tools, women can now access pelvic floor dysfunction treatment at home, guided by licensed experts and supported by clinical data. From-home women's health care programs like Bloom by Sword Health offer private, effective therapy designed to help women heal comfortably, confidently, and on their own schedule. The pelvic floor is a network of muscles that supports the bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs. These muscles are essential for stability, posture, and everyday functions such as urination, bowel movements, and sexual activity. When the pelvic muscles become weak, tight, or uncoordinated, it leads to pelvic floor dysfunction, a condition that can cause discomfort, pain, and loss of control.³

Endometriosis: Shedding Light on the Invisible Illness

Endometriosis care is one of the most urgent but often overlooked needs in women’s health. Millions live with symptoms for years before they receive a diagnosis, let alone effective care. The condition is common and complex, yet stigma, gender bias, and delays in diagnosis leave many people coping silently. The stakes are high. Chronic pelvic pain, infertility, missed work, mental health challenges, and mounting medical costs all converge to make endometriosis a significant health and economic issue. On top of this, treatment pathways are fragmented, requiring people to navigate multiple specialists and therapies. This is why comprehensive endometriosis care matters.

How women’s health physical therapy can help

Every woman’s body tells a story. It is shaped by life experiences, hormones, pregnancies, stress, and the countless demands of modern life. Through all of it, your body works hard, often without thanks. But when something feels “off,” when pain, pressure, or leakage appear, it can be hard to know where to turn. Women’s health physical therapy is a specialized branch of physical therapy that supports women through every stage of life, from adolescence to postmenopause, helping them move comfortably, recover from change, and reconnect with their bodies. Unlike traditional physical therapy, which often focuses on injury recovery, women’s health physical therapy is built around the unique physical and hormonal transitions that women experience. It is about restoring balance, strength, and confidence so you can live fully, without pain or hesitation.

Female pelvic health guide

Women’s health and wellness conversations often focus on fitness, nutrition, or maternity care. Yet one crucial part of the body that impacts daily comfort, mental health, and work performance is too often overlooked: pelvic floor health. The pelvic floor is a group of muscles and tissues that support the bladder, uterus, and bowel. When these muscles weaken or stop functioning properly, women can experience a wide range of problems: urinary leaks, pelvic pain, bowel issues, sexual discomfort, or a constant sense of pressure. For years, many women have silently endured these issues, assuming they were “normal” after childbirth or aging. But pelvic dysfunction is not something to suffer through. With the right pelvic floor health program, women can reclaim comfort, confidence, and control.
