PELVIC HEALTH & STABILITY WITH INNOVATIVE PHYSICAL THERAPY (Hybrid - In-Person at SPB Location and on Zoom)

Monday, April 13, 11:00 a.m.–noon

Pelvic floor health plays an important role in strength, balance, bladder and bowel control, posture, and overall mobility. The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that support the bladder, bowel, and (for women) the uterus, and it works closely with the core, hips, and diaphragm to help the body move safely and efficiently.

As we age, experience illness or injury, undergo surgery, or go through life changes such as childbirth or menopause, these muscles can weaken or lose coordination. This may lead to symptoms such as leakage, urgency, discomfort, instability, or difficulty with everyday movements like standing, walking, or lifting.

Learning about pelvic floor health helps individuals better understand how their bodies work and how targeted, gentle exercises and movement strategies can improve strength, control, and confidence. With the right guidance, pelvic floor health can be supported at any stage of life, promoting comfort, dignity, and independence in daily activities.

Registration required, no fee.
