Compassionate, Specialized Care for Pelvic Pain
If you’re living with pelvic pain, you may feel frustrated by symptoms that haven’t improved with rest, time, or other treatments you’ve already tried. You don’t have to just live with it. At Motive Sports & Physical Therapy, we offer individualized, one-on-one care designed to help you understand what’s causing your pain and get you moving again with confidence.
Pelvic pain affects people of all ages and activity levels — including adolescents, adults, older adults, athletes, and those who are pregnant or postpartum. Many people experience symptoms for months or even years before learning that physical therapy can help. Our team is here to change that.
What Is Pelvic Pain?
Pelvic pain refers to discomfort felt in the lower abdomen, groin, or pelvic region, often related to tension, weakness, or dysfunction in the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues that make up the pelvic floor. It can be constant or intermittent, sharp or dull, and may be tied to specific activities like sitting, exercising, or intimacy.
This pain can develop gradually or appear suddenly, and it’s often connected to how the pelvic floor muscles are functioning — whether they’re too tight, too weak, or simply not coordinating the way they should.
Why Addressing Pelvic Pain Matters
Pelvic pain can affect far more than just physical comfort. It can limit your ability to sit through a workday, exercise the way you used to, enjoy intimacy, or simply move through your day without distraction. Left unaddressed, pelvic pain often leads to muscle guarding, avoidance of activity, and a gradual decline in confidence and quality of life.
With the right evaluation and an individualized treatment plan, most people find real, lasting relief — and a clear path back to the activities and routines they care about most.

A Personalized, Evidence-Based Approach to Care
Every treatment plan begins with a comprehensive evaluation to identify the root cause of your symptoms — not just where it hurts, but why. From there, we build an individualized plan focused on restoring function, reducing discomfort, and helping you return stronger.
Pelvic pain often calls for specialized, focused care. That’s why Motive Sports & Physical Therapy offers a dedicated Pelvic Health Physical Therapy Program at our Berwyn, PA clinic, led by Clinic Director Abigail Bogovich, PT, DPT. Abby works closely with each patient in a private, supportive environment to address the root cause of pelvic pain, not just the symptoms.
Depending on your symptoms and comfort level, your evaluation may include an internal pelvic floor examination to assess muscle strength, coordination, tension, and tenderness. This examination is never required and is performed only with your consent — you’re an active partner in every part of your care.
Treatment may include:
- Pelvic floor muscle training to improve strength, endurance, and coordination
- Relaxation and down-training for overactive or tight pelvic floor muscles
- Manual therapy to address muscle tension, trigger points, and soft tissue restrictions
- Breathing and core coordination techniques
- Bladder retraining strategies, when relevant
- Exercise and movement training to support a safe return to daily activities, fitness, and sport
- Patient education on symptom management and long-term wellness
