Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy in Nashville, Murfreesboro, and Franklin, TN
Pelvic floor physical therapy focuses on the muscles, connective tissues, and nerves that support the bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs. These muscles play an important role in core stability, bladder and bowel control, sexual health, and overall movement.
When the pelvic floor is not functioning properly, it can lead to symptoms such as bladder leakage, pelvic pressure, pain, and difficulty with daily activities or exercise.
At Archer Physical Therapy, our therapists specialize in evaluating and treating pelvic floor dysfunction at every stage of life. We provide personalized, one-on-one care designed to help you restore strength, coordination, and confidence in your body.

Pelvic Health Through Every Stage of Life
Pelvic floor physical therapy can support women throughout many different life stages. (See also our section for men for pelvic floor physical therapy.)
Pregnancy and Postpartum
During pregnancy and after birth, the pelvic floor undergoes significant stress and change. Physical therapy can help reduce pain, support recovery, and restore strength and coordination after delivery. Visit our Pregnancy and Postpartum pages to learn more.
Perimenopause and Menopause
Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can affect pelvic tissues, muscle strength, and bladder function. Many women notice symptoms such as bladder leakage, pelvic pressure, or discomfort with intimacy during this time.
Pelvic floor physical therapy can help improve muscle function, support pelvic organs, and reduce symptoms so you can continue to move and live comfortably.
