Pelvic health physical therapy in Murfreesboro, TN

Your pelvic health. Your active life.

Pelvic health issues can show up quietly for active women and runners: leaking during a run, pressure that builds with mileage, or postpartum challenges that never fully resolved. At Proactive Kinetics, we address these the same way we address every injury: root-cause investigation and a clear plan.

Pelvic floor issues left unaddressed only limit you more over time.

Leaking during runs or workouts is common but it is not something you have to accept

Leakage during high-impact activity is incredibly common and rarely discussed. It is also addressable. You do not have to reduce your training just to manage it.

Postpartum return to running without support often leads to setbacks

Returning to running after pregnancy without addressing pelvic floor strength and coordination often leads to pain, instability, or symptoms that worsen with load. Getting cleared by your OB is not the same as being ready to run.

Pelvic pain during activity gets dismissed or goes unaddressed for years

Pelvic pain with running, lifting, or daily activity is often dismissed as normal or hormonal. It usually has a mechanical component worth investigating and often responds well to physical therapy.

How it works

Our three-phase approach to lasting results

Resolve

Stop managing symptoms. We start with a deep-dive investigation to find the actual root cause of your pain, so your plan addresses the real problem from day one.

Reload

Take ownership of the work. Progressive loading bridges the gap from pain-free to powerful, rebuilding both strength and confidence in your movement.

Reinforce

Play the long game. Refined mechanics and self-management tools help you sustain your results for years, not weeks.

Dr. Samantha Elrod with Proactive Kinetics was great for my physical therapy. I quickly saw improvement with my issues. She was able to get me back to where I was before my accident in eight visits. The bonus was not having to drive somewhere for the treatment. She came to me. If would definitely recommend using Proactive Kinetics for any physical therapy that you may need.

I went to Dr Sam for a sore shoulder I’d had for a few months. She was able to determine where the problem was originating and develop a plan of exercises, stretches and some other interventions to get the muscles to loosen up and move without pain. I’ve graduated from shoulder PT and would recommend her for PT or even for preventative care if you’re starting a new sport or exercise routine.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about pelvic health physical therapy in Murfreesboro, answered by our team.

Is pelvic health PT relevant if my main issue is running injuries?

It can be. For many runners, especially women, pelvic floor dysfunction is a contributing factor to hip, back, or lower extremity issues. We have experience in both orthopedic and pelvic health PT, which allows for a more complete assessment when both are involved.

Is pelvic health PT treated the same as regular PT at your clinic?

Yes. Pelvic health sessions at Proactive Kinetics are 1:1, in a private setting, with the same root-cause investigation and individualized plan that guides all our care. The same standard applies regardless of the service.

What is a pelvic health PT session like?

A first session typically starts with a detailed intake covering your history, goals, and current symptoms. From there, we build a picture of what is contributing to the issue before moving into any hands-on assessment. Everything is explained, and you are always in control of the pace.

Do I need a referral for pelvic health PT?

No. Tennessee allows direct access to physical therapy, including pelvic health PT. You can reach out directly to schedule a discovery call and ask any questions before committing to an evaluation.

Is pelvic health PT only for postpartum concerns?

No. Pelvic health PT addresses a wide range of issues: pelvic pain, leakage during high-impact activity, prolapse concerns, prenatal support, and dysfunction discovered alongside a running or orthopedic injury. You do not need to be postpartum to benefit.
