Fertility in Pooler

Supporting Fertility Through Pelvic Floor Therapy

Your path to parenthood should be met with support, clarity, and effective care. While fertility challenges can feel overwhelming, many couples aren’t aware of how vital pelvic floor health is to successful conception. At Savannah Pelvic Health and Wellness, we specialize in optimizing pelvic health to naturally support your fertility journey.

Understanding the Role of Pelvic Function in Fertility

Mechanical fertility involves the body’s physical systems working together to transport sperm, release eggs, and support implantation. When pelvic floor dysfunction is present, it can disrupt this process in several ways:

  • Uterine fibroids can distort the uterus and interfere with egg implantation.
  • Pelvic scar tissue or adhesions may limit movement of the ovaries and fallopian tubes, making it harder for sperm and egg to meet.
  • Abnormal uterine positions (like a tilted uterus) can affect sperm travel and embryo movement toward implantation.

Restoring Movement and Mobility

Blocked fallopian tubes and limited pelvic mobility are common barriers to conception. At Savannah Pelvic Health and Wellness, our targeted pelvic floor therapy focuses on:

  • Increasing pelvic blood flow to reduce inflammation and encourage healing.
  • Breaking down adhesions through gentle manual therapy.
  • Improving tubal mobility so the fallopian tubes can move and function properly.

Creating a Fertility-Friendly Environment

Pelvic floor therapy helps create the conditions needed for successful conception:

  • Balanced muscle tone supports pelvic organs and reduces pressure or misalignment.
  • Cervical comfort is addressed by treating pain or inflammation that may interfere with sperm transport.
  • Nervous system regulation helps reduce stress and support hormonal balance through guided relaxation techniques.

Addressing Pain That May Hinder Fertility

Chronic pelvic pain linked to conditions like endometriosis, cysts, or tight pelvic muscles can interfere with natural fertility. At Savannah
Pelvic Health and Wellness, our therapy approach focuses on:

  • Reducing muscle tension and guarding through hands-on techniques.
  • Improving muscular coordination to support better function and pain relief.
  • Identifying root causes such as nerve compression or scar tissue.
  • Enhancing Assisted Fertility Treatments Like IUI and IVF

For those pursuing IUI or IVF, pelvic floor therapy can improve outcomes by:

  • Enhancing uterine lining health through improved circulation.
  • Reducing stress and anxiety that can disrupt hormonal balance.
  • Easing post-procedure recovery with gentle, supportive therapies.

Success Stories & Testimonials

Dr. Polk is AMAZING! I never understood how important pelvic floor therapy was until my midwife recommended it. I started seeing Dr. Polk during pregnancy and have been seeing her postpartum. I strongly believe my delivery went so smoothly because of her! I am WAY more educated about my body and how it works! Thank you Dr. Polk for helping me achieve the goals in pregnancy, birth and now postpartum.

Reb GUad

Dr. Polk has helped me so much during my postpartum recovery. I started seeing her for prolapse conditions as well as issues arising from a second-degree tear. She helped me regain strength in my core and pelvic floor and also incorporated myofascial release work. I am 7 months PP and starting to feel like myself again. I can’t thank her enough!

Sara Stevens

Dr. Polk is so kind, calm, and knowledgeable. Everything you’d want in a pelvic floor PT! This was my first time seeing a pelvic floor PT and she was very thorough in her evaluation and walking me through each process. I really felt like she took the time to take all aspects of my health (past, present, and future) into account.
