Cervical Health Awareness Month:Supporting Your Body From the Inside Out

How Pelvic Floor Health Connects to Cervical Health

The cervix is part of a complex system that includes the pelvic floor muscles, connective tissue, nervous system, and posture. When pelvic floor muscles are tense, weak, or not coordinating properly, it can contribute to:

• Pelvic pain or pressure

• Pain with intimacy or tampon use

• Discomfort during gynecological exams

• Changes after pregnancy, childbirth, or pelvic surgery

Pelvic floor physical therapy helps address these underlying muscle and tissue restrictions, improving comfort, function, and confidence in your body.

How Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy Can Help

• Pelvic floor PT is a gentle, individualized approach that may include:

• Education on pelvic anatomy and cervical health

• Manual therapy to improve tissue mobility and reduce tension

• Breathwork and relaxation techniques to support nervous system regulation

• Targeted exercises to restore strength, coordination, and support

Whether you’re navigating pelvic pain, preparing for a gynecological procedure, recovering postpartum, or simply wanting to be proactive about your health, pelvic floor therapy can be a valuable part of your care team.

Taking Charge of Your Cervical Health

This month is a great reminder to:

• Stay up to date on routine cervical screenings

• Listen to your body and address pain or discomfort early

• Advocate for care that feels supportive and empowering

• Explore pelvic floor therapy as a preventative and restorative option

Your cervical health matters—and so does your comfort, confidence, and quality of life.
