Free Screenings
Join us on Saturdays from 9 am – 2 pm for FREE Screenings
(first come first serve basis, about 8 patient slots available per Saturday)
“This place provides Free Screenings every Saturday. I went to check my shoulder problem during their Free Screening event. The physical therapist took enough time to patiently assess me and also explain why I am getting the pain and how to fix it. I went for a few sessions of therapy following that. The treatment and tips they provided were very useful. I am a lot better now and play without limitation. I would recommend you use their free screening as they are very good at identifying problems at the very root stage level and treating them too.”

How Physical Therapy Helps Pelvic Health
— August 2026 —
Are you living with symptoms you find difficult to talk about? Perhaps you’re struggling with incontinence, sexual dysfunction, or endometriosis. Maybe you’ve developed a pelvic organ prolapse.
While these conditions can sound scary, they’re very treatable. Unfortunately, they often stem from issues related to pelvic health, and many people will live with pain and discomfort due to being uncomfortable sharing their concerns.
At Therapy Fit Physical Therapy, we want to change that. Our physical therapists frequently help people manage their pelvic health, offering private rooms and a judgment-free zone where you can share your symptoms and get the treatment you need.
Today, we want to explore pelvic health: what it is, how it can impact your life, and how our physical therapy services can help improve it.
Still have questions? Our friendly staff is happy to answer them. We’re just a phone call away!
What Do We Mean by Pelvic Health?
Your pelvic floor is a sling of muscles at the base of your core. It acts as a “hammock” for your pelvic organs, including your bladder, bowels, prostate (in men), and sexual organs (in women). When the pelvic floor is healthy, it supports those organs and helps them function properly. But when it becomes impaired–such as being weak or overly restricted–you can experience several different symptoms.
Anyone can experience issues with their pelvic floor, although the exact concerns can vary somewhat with gender. Here are some of the common complaints we help treat:
Urinary Incontinence
- Anyone can develop urinary incontinence, although it is more common in women. This can include stress incontinence (leaking when laughing or coughing), urge incontinence (having an overwhelming need to go), or a combination.
Pelvic Pain
- Pelvic pain can have a variety of causes, from nerve issues to gynecological conditions like endometriosis. We’ll help determine the cause and find the right treatment option for your needs.
Sexual Dysfunction
- For women, sexual dysfunction can include painful intercourse or difficulty with orgasm. For men, it can include erectile dysfunction or painful ejaculation. But either way, pelvic floor impairment is often the culprit.
Pelvic Organ Prolapse
- This occurs when the pelvic organs slip out of place. It can affect both men and women and develops due to weakened pelvic floor muscles.
Pregnancy/Postpartum Discomfort
The changes that occur in your body during pregnancy can lead to pelvic and lower back pain, urinary incontinence, and other musculoskeletal concerns.
Is Your Posture Causing You Pain?
Diana learned just how important posture is. If you’re struggling with persistent shoulder pain, call the team at Therapy Fit Physical Therapy. We’ll dig down to the source–and give you the guidance you need to correct the issue.

What Treatment Options Do We Offer?
Treatment for pelvic health concerns varies depending on the cause. That’s why our team will spend your first session taking your health history, reviewing your symptoms, and running several screens so we can provide you with the interventions you need.
Here are some of the common treatment options we use to improve pelvic health:
Pelvic Floor Exercises
- We’ll show you tailored exercises designed to stretch and strengthen your pelvic floor muscles–and ensure you’re performing them correctly.
Biofeedback
- Biofeedback uses technology to help you “see” what’s going on inside your body. This is especially true for the pelvic floor, an internal muscle that can be harder to control.
Manual Therapy
- Certain hands-on pain relieving techniques, such as myofascial release, can help ease muscle tension that can contribute to pelvic pain and dysfunction.
Electrical Stimulation
- Electrical stimulation (sometimes called TENs) uses a mild electric pulse to improve pelvic muscle function and reduce pain.
Bladder Training
- If you’re dealing with urinary incontinence (especially urge incontinence), bladder training can help you go longer between bathroom breaks.
Lifestyle Modifications
- We’ll help you find lasting relief by addressing other factors that might contribute to pelvic floor dysfunction, such as regular exercise, nutrition, and more.

What Sort of Exercises Help the Pelvic Floor?
Your pelvic floor is a muscle like any other, which means exercise will help keep it in top shape! However, you may be wondering what exercises are most beneficial.
Here are some of our favorites to include in treatment plans, but do make sure to check with us before trying anything new:
Kegels
If you’re like most people, when you hear “pelvic floor exercises,” you probably think of Kegels, a technique for contracting and releasing the pelvic floor muscles. While beneficial, they can be tricky to perform correctly, and the contracting sensation is different for men and women.
Fortunately, our team is on the case. We’ll walk you through the process and may use biofeedback technology to ensure you’re working the correct muscle.
Squats
It’s true–the mighty squat works more than your glutes and hamstrings! To perform a bodyweight squat, stand hip-width apart, then bend your knees as if you’re going to sit in a chair (you can use a chair–sitting down and getting up without using your hands emulates a squat movement).
Glute Bridges
Glute bridges are another great exercise for targeting the core, glute, and pelvic floor muscles. They involve lying on your back with your knees bent, slowly lifting your hips up from the floor, and pressing down on your sides with your arms.

The Importance of Rest and Relaxation for Your Physical Health
Did you know that August 15th is National Relaxation Day? At (Practice Name), we want to highlight the importance of rest and relaxation for your mental, physical, and emotional well-being. Here are some ways to celebrate National Relaxation Day:
- Take a Breath: Deep breathing isn’t just calming; it significantly reduces stress and enhances mental clarity. It’s a powerful tool for mental, physical, and emotional well-being.
- Get Some Sleep: Adequate sleep is more than rest. It’s a critical period for muscle recovery and overall health maintenance.
- Digital Detox: Unplugging from electronic devices is proven to reduce mental fatigue and boost overall mood.
This National Relaxation Day, remember that taking time to relax is not just a luxury but a key element in maintaining a balanced, healthy lifestyle!
Shoulder & Upper Body Mobility with Therapy Fit
On July 15th, Frisco Lakes residents joined Dr. Reddy from Therapy Fit Physical Therapy for an insightful and practical seminar on Shoulder and Upper Body Mobility.
As an expert in orthopedics and joint mobility, Dr. Reddy shared valuable strategies for keeping your shoulders healthy, pain-free, and moving smoothly. Maintaining a healthy range of motion in our upper body is crucial for our daily independence, and focused conditioning offers incredible benefits for older adults.
Releasing Your Arrow in the Right Way
On July 15th, we had the pleasure of hosting a special seminar for the Arjun Archery Academy led by Dr. Reddy. The session, titled “Releasing Your Arrow in the Right Way,” broke down the physical mechanics behind a flawless, accurate, and safe release.
Archery is a demanding sport that requires immense upper body stability, precision, and control. Drawing from his extensive expertise in orthopedics and shoulder mobility, Dr. Reddy explained how proper physical conditioning directly impacts your form on the range. Mastering the right body mechanics offers incredible benefits for archers of all levels.
Our Patients Get Great Results
“I had a great experience at Therapy Fit. My physical therapist, Mansi, did an excellent job helping me with my back problems. She was wonderful—very attentive and thoughtful in her approach. The exercises she recommended made a real difference in my back pain and significantly improved my posture.
On top of that, Therapy Fit is a tremendous value. Each session typically includes massage, mobilization treatment, and exercises, which made the care feel very thorough and effective. I highly recommend both Mansi and Therapy Fit.”

Southern Fried Chicken Burgers
Who needs to order in crispy chicken burgers when you can make your own at home in less than 15 minutes! These delicious Southern Fried Chicken Burgers are the ultimate weeknight fakeaway featuring tender seasoned chicken fried to golden perfection. Served with brioche buns, cheese, pickles and shredded lettuce, these burgers are a quick and delicious meal the whole family will love.
INGREDIENTS:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, or 2 chicken breasts, cut in half horizontally to form 4 thinner pieces
- 1 tbsp sweet paprika
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp sea salt flakes
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cornflour
- Oil, for frying
TO SERVE:
- 4 brioche buns or any burger bun of your choice
- 4 tsp whole-egg mayonnaise
- ¼ head of oakleaf or butter lettuce, shredded
- 4 slices gouda or burger or American cheese
- ⅓ cup sliced gherkin (dill pickles)
- Extra sea salt flakes
INSTRUCTIONS:
Pound the chicken using a mallet or rolling pin so that it is roughly ½ inch thick and also even in thickness. Set aside on a plate.
Combine the sweet paprika, onion powder, garlic powder and salt in a bowl. Sprinkle the spice mixture over both sides of the chicken taking care to get an even coverage.
Coat the chicken
Place the buttermilk in a shallow bowl and combine the flour and cornflour in a separate shallow bowl.
Dip the seasoned chicken pieces first in the buttermilk, then dredge them in the flour mixture, ensuring they are coated all over.
Fry the chicken
Heat the oil in a large, deep heavy-based pan over medium–low heat (don’t be tempted to go too high with the oil temperature, as the chicken will cook too quickly on the outside and will not be cooked on the inside; medium–low is perfect).
Cook the chicken for 4 minutes on each side or until crisp and golden. Drain on a paper towel.
Assemble the burgers
Toast the brioche buns if desired.
Place a dollop of mayonnaise on the bottom of the bun, followed by the shredded lettuce, chicken, cheese, pickles, and another dollop of mayonnaise if desired. Sprinkle with extra salt to serve, if desired. Top with the bun lid and serve immediately.
