Uniquely Customized Treatment Plans

Many women believe pelvic pain, bladder leaks, prolapse, or back pain are simply something they have to live with – and often do for a long time.

If you…

  • Thought it would go away on its own.

  • Tried kegels, but they didn’t help.

  • Were told by a doctor that surgery or medication might be my only option.

  • Thought this was all just part of getting older.

We’re here to tell you…

  • Pelvic floor issues don’t just go away, but they don’t have to persist.

  • Kegels aren’t always (usually aren’t) the answer to pelvic floor problems.

  • Surgery and medication aren’t the only ways for you to feel better.

  • This isn’t just “all part of getting older”.

It’s time to prioritize you and your pelvic floor rehabilitation.

Wondering if Orthopedic or Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy at Revive PT & Pilates is right for you?

In this short video, you’ll hear from Dr. Dawn Andaolon, our founder and pelvic floor specialist,  so you can get a feel for what our women’s wellness studio is like — the space, the experience, and the kind of support you can expect from day one.

What is Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy?

Your pelvic floor is a complex group of muscles, ligaments, and tissues that support your pelvic organs, bladder, and core. When this system isn’t functioning properly, you may experience:

  • Two beige star-shaped decorative objects with a textured surface on a white background.

    Incontinence or leaking

  • Two gold star-shaped objects on a white background.

    Pelvic organ prolapse

  • Two beige star-shaped objects with a rough texture, positioned on a white background.

    Pelvic pain or pressure

  • Two beige star-shaped objects with distressed texture on a white background.

    Painful intimacy

  • Two beige star-shaped objects with a rough texture on a white background.

    Postpartum or surgical recovery issues

  • Two beige star-shaped decorative objects with irregular edges, positioned diagonally from each other on a white background.

    Abdominal separation (diastasis recti)

  • Two beige star-shaped objects with a vintage or distressed look on a white background.

    Hip, back, or tailbone pain

  • Two beige-colored star-shaped starfish on a plain white background.

    Constipation or bowel dysfunction

Pelvic floor physical therapy identifies and treats the root cause of these symptoms — not just the surface problem. If you have any of these issues, we can help you.

FAQs

  • Yes, this is one of our core specialties. If you’re leaking with sneezing, coughing, or exercise — or feeling heaviness or bulging in your pelvic area — we can help. We use a proven combination of hands-on therapy and therapeutic movement (like Pilates) to restore pelvic floor function and help you feel in control again.

  • We combine clinical expertise with a boutique, supportive experience designed specifically for women over 40. Instead of rushed, impersonal visits, you’ll receive one-on-one care that treats the root cause, not just the symptoms. We integrate therapeutic Pilates, hands-on techniques, and compassionate guidance to help you feel empowered, strong, and pain-free for the long haul.  We are focused on results and offer a 100% happiness guarantee!

  • Your first visit is all about understanding your story. We’ll sit down for a full evaluation, review your health history, and assess your movement, posture, and any symptoms. From there, we’ll begin gentle hands-on therapy and introduce therapeutic exercises tailored to your body. You’ll leave feeling heard, supported, and clear on your path forward.

  • Our studio is in the heart of North County San Diego. We proudly offer therapeutic Pilates and physical therapy in Encinitas, CA to women seeking compassionate, expert-led care. Our address is: 681 Encinitas Blvd #308, Encinitas, CA 92024 – and yes, there is a parking lot with plenty of free parking available.

  • Pelvic floor physical therapy is a specialized branch of physical therapy (PT) focused on the muscles, nerves, and connective tissues that support your bladder, uterus, and bowel. At Revive, we go beyond standard PT by addressing these deeper, often overlooked issues that affect intimacy, continence, posture, and confidence. And yes—it’s completely private, respectful, and tailored to your needs.

  • Absolutely. Many women are surprised by how much their core and pelvic floor are affected after a hysterectomy. We help you heal properly, reduce scar tissue restrictions, and safely rebuild your strength from the inside out — so you can return to daily life and movement without discomfort or fear.

  • No referral is needed! California is a direct-access state, which means you can schedule a physical therapy evaluation without waiting for an MD referral. We’ll work collaboratively with your healthcare providers if needed, but you’re in control of when and how your care begins.

  • Revive PT & Pilates is a private pay wellness center, which means we don’t bill insurance directly and have no relationship with Medicare. We are considered out-of-network with PPO plans for our physical therapy services. This allows us to provide longer, more thorough personalized sessions without the limitations of insurance networks. However, we’re happy to provide a superbill (coded receipt with instructions) that you can submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement.
