Pelvic floor physical therapy is a specialty focused on the rehabilitation of the pelvic floor muscles affected by a variety of diagnoses including bowel, bladder, sexual dysfunctions, and pelvic pain known as Pelvic Floor Dysfunction. A trained Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist will assess the level of strength, tone and function of the pelvic floor muscles, determine what causes the dysfunction, and treat appropriately. Physical therapy interventions are not ‘one size fits all’ so it is important to have your pelvic floor muscles assessed by a specialist.

Dr. Tara founded M2B for those in need of both pelvic floor physical therapy and sexual counseling. As a pelvic health specialist for over 12 years, she is experienced with the mind to body connection that affects sexual function. Combining pelvic floor physical therapy and sexual counseling services offers a comprehensive approach to addressing physical and psychological aspects of sexual well-being. Sexual health involves physical, emotional, and relational aspects of sexuality. These combined services address patients navigating issues such as low desire, performance anxiety, communication problems with partner(s), shame , guilt, or fear associated with sex, religious and cultural influence, and any type of trauma. These emotional and psychological aspects may be in concurrence with physical concerns such as pain with sex, pelvic pain, erectile dysfunction, prostatitis, vaginismus, anorgasmia, and any other sexual related concerns from a biopsychosocial perspective.
