Learn how to reduce pain and resume an active life.

The levator ani is a group of muscles located deep in the pelvic floor. These muscles help to elevate the pelvic floor and anal sphincter. A spasm of these muscles is called Levator Ani Syndrome and can cause pain with sitting, constipation, bowel movement pain and low back pain. Physical therapists who specialize in the pelvic floor are experts at treating this condition. Treatment will include soft tissue mobilization, exercises to stretch and relax the levator muscles and retraining of these muscles.

You do not need to suffer from the discomfort of levator ani syndrome. Physical therapy can help alleviate the pain and get you back to a normal life.

My daughter developed a stress fracture due to over-training and lack of proper guidance. She had to sit out her sophomore season and we were afraid her running career would be over. Her self-confidence was way down and we had serious concerns, but thanks to BreakThrough she is “back on track” and continuously improving her times as well as enjoyment for cross country. Thank you!

My shin splints were killing me and I had to pull out of my last race. Thanks to Prina helped me avoid needing a boot and really being on the sidelines. I am now increasing my mileage and am so excited to have the support of your Sports Performance Program!

I PR’ed this weekend and I cannot thank Irina enough for all the hard work and dedication she put in to help me accomplish my goal!!
