How Many Times a Week Should You Do Pelvic Floor Therapy?

Learn the recommended frequency, what to expect during treatment, and how long until pelvic floor therapy works.

The frequency of sessions varies, but most patients attend once a week. In an ideal world where time and finances were not a factor, two to three sessions per week could accelerate progress.

How Long Until Pelvic Floor Therapy Works?

Patients often notice improvements within four to eight weeks. For those with acute conditions, progress may come sooner. For chronic pain or dysfunction, therapy may take longer, but improvements are still measurable within the first month.

Can I Go to Pelvic Floor Therapy If I Am on My Period?

Yes, therapy can continue during your period. If you are comfortable, your therapist can proceed with all aspects of care. If not, external techniques can be used until your cycle ends. The choice is always yours.

Is Pelvic Floor Therapy Worth It?

For many, the therapy is life changing. Patients frequently report regaining confidence, returning to activities they thought were lost, and avoiding surgery. Considering the improvements in daily quality of life, the answer is almost always yes.
