Our Therapy addresses dysfunction in the pelvic floor
Non-invasive treatment that reduces pain and disability
A versatile treatment that is very common in Chinese medicine.
Dysfunction in Pelvic floor muscles can cause problems with bowel, bladder functions, sexual dysfunction, vaginal pain, coccyx (tail bone) pain, and pelvic organ prolapse. Regardless of your age or gender, you can benefit from pelvic floor therapy if you’re dealing with chronic pain, recovering from childbirth, or managing a pelvic health condition.
Some conditions that can be improved with pelvic floor physical therapy are:
Pelvic Floor Physical Therapists addresses dysfunction in the pelvic floor muscles externally and/or internally, while working with biomechanical alignment, breathing, and posture to address the body as whole. Prescription of exercises depends on the symptoms requiring relaxing, lengthening and strengthening of the muscles.

Simran completed her Bachelor’s of Physical Therapy at Terna Physiotherapy College and her Post-Professional Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Loma Linda University. Simran completed her Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy training through the Herman and Wallace Pelvic Rehabilitation Institute. She also is certified in Vestibular Rehabilitation and Concussion Therapy through the American Institute of Balance.
In addition to treating common female conditions and concerns, Simran also specializes in oncological-related pelvic floor conditions.
Outside of the clinic, Simran is especially fond of yoga, a passion she acquired from her mother and has practiced it since her childhood. Her love of yoga encouraged her to become a Physical Therapist because she wanted to have an in-depth understanding of human anatomy and physiology.
Simran shares: “The most fulfilling part of being a physical therapist is helping my patients and alleviating their pain. Whether it be to help a grandparent lift their grandkids, or an athlete return to playing a sport, it gives me great joy when a patient is able to meet their goals.”
Pelvic floor dysfunction affects 1 in 3 women and 1 in 9 men – yet most go untreated. SportsMed is home to New Jersey’s top-rated pelvic floor physical therapy specialists, providing discreet, evidence-based care for urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, painful sex, prolapse, postpartum recovery, and post-prostate surgery rehabilitation.
Pelvic floor physical therapy is a specialized branch of PT focused on the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues that support your bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs. Pelvic floor specialists hold advanced certification beyond standard PT licensure and use both external and (when appropriate) internal techniques to assess and treat dysfunction. The pelvic floor is just like any other muscle group – it can be too weak, too tight, or poorly coordinated, and targeted therapy can fix all three.
Our specialists treat urinary incontinence (stress, urge, and mixed), urinary urgency and frequency, fecal incontinence, constipation, pelvic organ prolapse, painful intercourse (dyspareunia), vaginismus, vulvodynia, endometriosis pain, interstitial cystitis, post-childbirth recovery, diastasis recti, c-section scar pain, post-prostate surgery incontinence, chronic pelvic pain, coccyx (tailbone) pain, and pudendal neuralgia. We treat both women and men.
You should see a pelvic floor specialist if you leak urine when you cough, laugh, or exercise; feel sudden urges to urinate; experience pain with sex; have pelvic, low-back, or tailbone pain; feel pressure or heaviness in the pelvis; have just given birth; are preparing for or recovering from prostate surgery; or have unexplained constipation or bowel issues. These problems are common – but they are not normal, and they are highly treatable.
Your first visit lasts 60 minutes in a private treatment room. Your specialist will discuss your symptoms, medical history, and goals. The evaluation includes posture, hip and core strength, breathing patterns, and (with your consent) an internal pelvic floor exam to assess muscle strength, tension, and coordination. You’ll leave with a personalized treatment plan, education, and a home program.
SportsMed offers a private, judgment-free environment with female and male specialists trained in advanced pelvic floor protocols. We coordinate with OB-GYNs, urologists, urogynecologists, and colorectal surgeons across New Jersey. Most patients see significant improvement in 6–12 sessions.
Pelvic floor physical therapy is available at SportsMed in Jersey City (McGinley Square), New Brunswick, and Newark. Additional locations are added based on demand – call for the closest option.
