Embarking on a pelvic health recovery journey can feel overwhelming—especially when you’re juggling work, family, and the pace of life in Boston. Maybe you’re a new mom navigating postpartum changes, an active woman dealing with leaking when you run or lift, or someone quietly struggling with pelvic pain, heaviness, or bowel changes.
When something feels “off” in your pelvic health, it’s easy to feel alone or to assume it’s just something you have to live with.
You don’t.
At Pacer Physical Therapy, located at 665 Boylston Street in Boston, MA, we specialize in pelvic health physical therapy in Boston, MA that goes far beyond a standard set of exercises. Our one-on-one care is designed to help you understand what’s happening in your body, address the root causes of your symptoms, and return to the activities that make you feel like you again.
Pelvic health isn’t just about your pelvic floor muscles—it’s about how your core, hips, breathing, posture, and daily movement patterns all work together. Our approach blends evidence-based pelvic health physical therapy with strength training, education, and coaching, so you feel supported every step of the way.
Specialized Pelvic Health Care for Pregnancy and Postpartum in Boston
Pregnancy and postpartum bring huge changes to your body—physically, hormonally, and emotionally. Yet many women are told at six weeks, “You’re cleared—go back to everything.” That can feel confusing, intimidating, or even dismissive if you’re still in pain or not feeling like yourself.
At Pacer Physical Therapy, we specialize in supporting women through pregnancy and postpartum with pelvic health physical therapy in Boston, MA that is:
- Personalized to your body, birth history, and goals
- Focused on the whole system, not just isolated muscles
- Designed to bridge the gap between symptom relief and getting back to lifting, running, and high-intensity exercise confidently
Whether you had a vaginal birth or C-section, are newly postpartum or months/years out, we help you reconnect with your body, rebuild strength, and move forward with clarity—not trial and error.
Regaining Control: Leaking, Urgency, and Pelvic Floor Concerns
Leaking urine (with coughing, sneezing, running, or lifting) is incredibly common—but it’s not something you just have to accept.
Through pelvic floor physical therapy at Pacer PT, we help you:
- Understand how your pelvic floor, core, breathing, and posture work together
- Identify whether your pelvic floor is weak, overactive, or uncoordinated
- Use targeted exercises, hands-on care, and education to improve support and control
Instead of handing you a list of unspecific Kegels, we provide a plan that reflects your body. The goal is not just fewer leaks, but confidence—knowing you can laugh, lift, jump, or run without constantly worrying about your bladder.
Returning to High-Intensity Exercise: Running, Jumping, and Lifting
If you love to move—whether that’s strength training, HIIT, running along the Charles, or boutique fitness classes—you may be wondering:
- “Is it safe to go back yet?”
- “Will this make my symptoms worse?”
- “How do I rebuild without overdoing it?”
Our pelvic health physical therapists are also movement and fitness-minded. We help you:
- Build a step-by-step plan to return to higher-impact exercise
- Learn how to brace, breathe, and load your body in ways that support your pelvic floor
- Progress smartly—so you’re not stuck at light activity forever, but you’re also not jumping back in too fast
We meet you where you are and help you get where you want to go: lifting heavier, running farther, or simply feeling strong and capable in your everyday life.
Beyond the Basics: Bowel Changes and Postpartum Constipation
Pelvic health isn’t just about your bladder. Bowel changes—like constipation, difficulty emptying, or pain with bowel movements—can show up during pregnancy and postpartum and significantly affect your comfort and confidence.
At Pacer Physical Therapy, we address bowel concerns through:
- Pelvic floor techniques to support easier, more complete bowel movements
- Education on toileting posture, breathing, and coordination
- Guidance on lifestyle factors (like movement, fluid intake, and habit changes) that support better bowel health
These conversations are often skipped in traditional care—but here, they’re a normal, important part of your pelvic health plan.
Comprehensive Pelvic Health Physical Therapy for All Stages of Life
While pregnancy and postpartum are a big part of what we do, pelvic health physical therapy in Boston, MA at Pacer PT supports women at many stages and situations—far beyond the postpartum window.
We work with women who experience:
- Pelvic pain (vulvar pain, pain around the sit bones, deep pelvic pain, tailbone pain)
- Painful intercourse (dyspareunia)
- Pelvic organ prolapse (heaviness, pressure, or “falling out” sensation)
- Bladder concerns
- Urgency and frequency
- Stress incontinence (leaks with cough/sneeze/jump)
- Urge incontinence (difficulty making it to the bathroom in time)
- Bowel dysfunction
- Constipation
- Straining
- Incomplete emptying
Our care is discreet, empathetic, and grounded in up-to-date pelvic health research. The goal is always the same: to help you feel more comfortable, more in control, and more at home in your body.
The Pacer Physical Therapy Difference: Pelvic Health Care Tailored to You
At Pacer Physical Therapy in Boston, pelvic health isn’t a side service—it’s the heart of what we do.

- One-on-one, 60–75 minute sessions
Every visit is just you and your pelvic health physical therapist, with enough time to listen, assess, treat, and adjust your plan without rushing. - Full-body, movement-friendly care
We look at how your hips, spine, breath, and strength all influence your pelvic symptoms, not just what’s happening locally. - Blending rehab and performance

We don’t just treat you on the table; we teach you what’s happening, why it’s happening, and what you can do to support long-term change.
