Life After Hysterectomy — Why Pelvic Floor Therapy Matters

A hysterectomy is life-changing surgery. While it may relieve pain or bleeding, recovery often leaves women with questions.

Common Post-Hysterectomy Changes

  • Core and pelvic floor weakness

  • Scar tissue tightness or pain

  • Risk of prolapse

  • Vaginal dryness or painful intimacy

  • Guidance for safe return to activity & intimacy

When to Start

Most women benefit from starting PT after their surgeon clears them (usually 4–6 weeks post-op).

Don’t go through recovery alone — schedule a 60-min evaluation to start your healing.
