FAQs
These structures work together to support your bladder, bowel, reproductive organs, and core while playing an important role in movement, stability, and overall quality of life.
When the pelvic floor isn't functioning as it should, symptoms may include:
- Urinary leakage or urgency
- Constipation or bowel dysfunction
- Pelvic, hip, low back, or tailbone pain
- Pain with intimacy
- Pelvic pressure or prolapse
- Pregnancy or postpartum discomfort
- Core weakness
Many women are told these symptoms are "normal." They're common, but that doesn't mean you have to live with them. Pelvic floor physical therapy is designed to identify the root cause of your symptoms and help you feel stronger, more comfortable, and more confident in your body.

Not at all.
While pregnancy and postpartum care are a large part of what we do, many women experience pelvic floor dysfunction throughout different seasons of life.
Whether you're an athlete, navigating chronic pelvic pain, entering menopause, recovering from surgery, or simply trying to understand symptoms that don't feel "normal," pelvic floor physical therapy may be able to help.
Your evaluation may include:
- A detailed conversation about your symptoms and goals
- Movement, posture, and breathing assessment
- Evaluation of your core and pelvic floor
- An internal pelvic floor examination if necessary, only with your full consent
- Education about what we find and how we'll work together moving forward
You'll leave your first visit with a personalized plan of care and a clear understanding of your next steps.
Our goal is for you to leave feeling informed, supported, and hopeful.
Sometimes, but not always.
Your physical therapist will explain why it may be helpful, answer any questions you have, and obtain your consent before proceeding.
Your comfort and trust always come first. If you're not ready for an internal assessment, there are many other ways we can begin your care.
Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move easily.
Depending on your evaluation, you may be asked to perform gentle movement and exercises, so clothing similar to what you'd wear for a yoga class or walk is ideal.
Nope!
Georgia is a Direct Access state, which means you can schedule an appointment with a physical therapist without first seeing a physician.
This allows you to begin treatment sooner, often saving time and avoiding unnecessary appointments, testing, or medications.
If collaboration with another healthcare provider would benefit your care, we're happy to communicate with your physician or refer you to the appropriate provider when needed.
Calm Pelvic Health is an out-of-network provider, allowing us to provide one-on-one, individualized care without the limitations often imposed by insurance.

Every woman is different.
Your treatment plan depends on your symptoms, goals, medical history, and how your body responds to treatment.
After your evaluation, we'll recommend a personalized plan and adjust it as you progress. Our goal is always to help you achieve lasting results, not keep you in therapy longer than necessary.
