You Deserve Answers — Not Dismissal
If you've been living with pelvic pain that no one can fully explain, you already know how isolating that experience can be. Maybe you've been told your tests look normal, that it's stress, or that you just need to give it time.
That pain is real. And it has a cause.
At Adapt Wellness, pelvic floor physical therapy begins with truly listening, understanding your full history, your symptoms, and how pain has changed your daily life. Dr. Ali's approach is rooted in finding the source of your dysfunction, not managing symptoms on the surface.
You don't have to navigate this alone, and you don't have to leave your home to start healing.
Conditions We Treat with Pelvic Floor Therapy
Pelvic Pain
Pelvic pain affects roughly one in four people assigned female at birth — and the causes are often layered and interconnected. Whether your pain stems from endometriosis, interstitial cystitis, trauma, surgery, or tension patterns that have built over months or years, it deserves more than a generic answer.
Dr. Ali uses a whole-body approach to pelvic pain treatment in Charlotte — combining manual therapy, myofascial release, and nervous system regulation to address the root cause, not just quiet the symptoms. Many patients begin to notice meaningful relief within the first several sessions.

Leaking when you cough, sneeze, laugh, or exercise is common — but it isn't something you need to accept as permanent. Whether you experience stress incontinence, urge incontinence, or overactive bladder, the pelvic floor can be retrained. Research supports pelvic floor physical therapy as a first-line, non-surgical treatment for incontinence — and effective care goes far beyond basic Kegels.

Your body did something extraordinary during pregnancy and delivery. Recovery afterward should be just as intentional. Postpartum pelvic floor therapy addresses diastasis recti, core weakness, pelvic floor tension or weakness, perineal and cesarean scar pain, and the disconnect many people feel with their body after birth. Dr. Ali provides a phased rehabilitation plan that guides you safely back to strength, activity, and confidence.
Start Your RecoveryPain with Intercourse
Pain during or after intimacy is more common than most people realize — and it is absolutely treatable. Conditions like dyspareunia, vaginismus, and vulvodynia often involve pelvic floor muscle tension, scar tissue restrictions, or nerve sensitivity. At Adapt Wellness, treatment is delivered in the privacy of your own home, a safe space where your experience is taken seriously and your boundaries are always respected.
You Deserve Comfort — Reach OutPregnancy-Related Pain
Pelvic girdle pain, SI joint dysfunction, pubic symphysis pain, and low back pain during pregnancy are not things to simply push through until delivery. Targeted pelvic floor physical therapy during pregnancy addresses joint stability, muscular support, and movement patterns — helping you stay active and comfortable. Dr. Ali provides safe, pregnancy-appropriate care that supports both your body and your preparation for labor.
Find Relief During PregnancyOrthopedic + Pelvic Floor Integration
The pelvic floor doesn't exist in isolation — it functions within a larger system that includes your hips, lumbar spine, deep core, and respiratory diaphragm. Many people with chronic hip pain, persistent low back pain, or SI joint issues have an undiagnosed pelvic floor component contributing to their symptoms. Dr. Ali's background in both orthopedic and pelvic floor therapy means she evaluates and treats the full picture.

If you've been waiting for your symptoms to resolve on their own — or if you've been told to just do Kegels and be patient — you're not alone in feeling frustrated by the lack of results.
Pelvic floor dysfunction persists because the underlying cause is rarely what people assume. Pelvic pain, incontinence, and sexual dysfunction aren't simple weakness problems. They involve complex interactions between muscle tension, fascial restrictions, nerve sensitization, breathing patterns, and postural habits.
Without a thorough assessment by a pelvic floor specialist, the actual driver of your symptoms may never be identified. And when treatment is aimed at the wrong target, it's no surprise that results don't last.
Many people are surprised to learn that their pelvic floor is actually too tight rather than too weak. In these cases, strengthening exercises can make symptoms worse — not better.
Pelvic floor physical therapy works because it treats the root cause — restoring the way your muscles, tissues, and nervous system function together. The longer these patterns go unaddressed, the more deeply established they become. If your symptoms have lasted months or years, that's not a sign that nothing can be done. It's a sign that the right approach hasn't been tried yet.

Every session at Adapt Wellness is one-on-one with Dr. Ali for a full hour — in the comfort and privacy of your home. There are no assistants, no rotating providers, and no rushing through a treatment checklist. Your time and your trust are honored here.
Treatment begins with a comprehensive evaluation — your full history, a postural and movement assessment, and, when appropriate and with your complete consent, an internal pelvic floor examination. From there, Dr. Ali builds a care plan specific to your body, your symptoms, and your goals.

Hands-on techniques to release muscular and fascial restrictions throughout the pelvic floor, hips, and surrounding structures.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pelvic Floor Therapy
Most people begin to notice improvement within the first few sessions. A full course of treatment typically ranges from eight to twelve sessions depending on the complexity and duration of your condition. Dr. Ali will give you a realistic timeline during your initial evaluation and adjust the plan as your body responds.
Most people find it relieving. Some discomfort may occur during assessment or release techniques, particularly for trigger points or scar tissue — but sessions are always adapted to your comfort level. Dr. Ali communicates throughout every visit and adjusts based on your feedback.
North Carolina allows direct access to physical therapy, so you can schedule without a physician referral. Coordination with your physician, OB-GYN, or midwife can still be helpful, and Dr. Ali welcomes collaborative care when it benefits your treatment.
No. While many people who seek pelvic floor therapy are assigned female at birth, it can benefit all genders — especially those experiencing pelvic pain, incontinence, or core and pelvic dysfunction.
Most people can begin a postpartum evaluation around six weeks after vaginal delivery or eight weeks after cesarean section, once cleared by their provider. Earlier gentle guidance on breathing and basic activation may be appropriate sooner — Dr. Ali can advise based on your specific delivery and recovery.
Not at all. Internal assessments are optional and only performed with your full consent and comfort. Effective treatment can also include external techniques, movement retraining, and nervous system regulation — Dr. Ali always respects your boundaries.
Your initial evaluation is a full hour in the comfort of your home. It includes a thorough discussion of your history, symptoms, and goals, followed by a physical assessment. Internal examination is never required at a first visit. Dr. Ali will explain every step before it happens.
If previous therapy didn't specifically address your pelvic floor — or if you saw a generalist rather than a specialist — there is a very good chance your condition can still improve. Specialized evaluation often uncovers causes that were previously missed. Dr. Ali is especially passionate about helping people who haven't found lasting relief through conventional care.
