Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy: Pain, Leaking & Sexual Dysfunction ft. Dr. Brita Allgyer

Send us Fan MailLeaking urine when you laugh, pelvic pain during sex, pressure or heaviness you can't explain — these are not things you just have to live with. In this episode, Dr. Stephanie Zwonitzer, DNP, sits down with Dr. Brita Allgyer, board-certified physical therapist, pelvic pain specialist, and founder of Pelvic Healing and Wellness Physical Therapy, to talk about how pelvic floor physical therapy can resolve some of the most common and most ignored issues in women's health. Dr. Brita brings over a decade of orthopedic physical therapy experience plus her own personal journey with endometriosis and bladder pain to her practice, giving her a uniquely empathetic and clinically sharp perspective. Topics covered: what the pelvic floor is and what happens when it stops working properly, urinary leakage and incontinence — why it happens and how to fix it, pelvic pain, endometriosis, and bladder and bowel dysfunction, sexual dysfunction rooted in pelvic floor issues, pre and postpartum pelvic care, and what pelvic floor physical therapy actually involves including dry needling, myofascial release, therapeutic cupping, and trigger point release. Dr. Brita's practice serves patients in Northern Virginia and offers a patient-centered, holistic approach to pelvic health.
