Signs You May Benefit From Post-Surgical Pelvic Rehabilitation
Without targeted rehab, many patients continue managing symptoms that specialized pelvic floor PT can address.
- Bladder leaks, urgency, or difficulty emptying after surgery
- Scar tissue tightness, sensitivity, or pain at the incision site
- Constipation, straining, or bowel control changes post-op
- Pelvic heaviness, pressure, or a sense that something doesn't feel right
- Core weakness or instability affecting movement and daily activities
- Pain or discomfort returning to intimacy after surgery
These symptoms are common after pelvic and abdominal surgery — but common doesn't mean you have to just wait them out. With the right evaluation and rehab plan, most patients improve significantly.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Post-Surgical Pelvic Rehabilitation at The Pelvic Lab
Timing depends on your specific surgery and your surgeon's clearance. Many patients begin pelvic floor therapy 6–8 weeks after surgery, though some types of work — like scar tissue education and gentle breathing — can start even earlier. We'll coordinate with your surgical team and work within any restrictions you've been given.
Pelvic floor therapy is beneficial after many surgeries, including hysterectomy, prostatectomy, C-section, prolapse repair, hernia repair, myomectomy, rectal or anal surgery, bladder surgery, and other abdominal procedures. If you're unsure whether your surgery qualifies, reach out — we're happy to discuss your situation.
Texas allows direct access to physical therapy, so you can begin without a referral. However, for post-surgical patients we typically request a referral within the first 30 days to keep your care coordinated with your surgical team. If you need help getting one, we'll walk you through it.
Sessions are private and one-on-one — one full hour with Christine, focused entirely on you. Your first visit includes a detailed history, a movement and pelvic floor assessment, and a review of your surgical history. From there, treatment may include scar tissue mobilization, pelvic floor retraining, breathing and core work, and a personalized home exercise plan. Everything moves at your pace.
The number of sessions varies depending on your surgery type, current symptoms, and recovery goals. We'll create an initial plan at your first visit and adjust as you progress. Many patients see meaningful improvement within 4–8 sessions, though complex cases or multiple concerns may require more.
Yes. Standard post-surgical PT focuses on general mobility, strength, and incision healing. Pelvic floor PT goes deeper — addressing the internal pelvic floor muscles, scar tissue at and around the pelvis, bladder and bowel function, and core reintegration. If you're experiencing pelvic symptoms specifically, a specialist in pelvic floor rehabilitation is the right fit.
