Infertility in Pooler
Infertility can be a deeply emotional and physically complex
experience, affecting countless individuals and couples. While treatments like IVF and hormone therapy are widely known, many don’t realize that pelvic floor physical therapy can also play a vital role in addressing underlying physical contributors to infertility.
At Savannah Pelvic Health and Wellness, we offer specialized care designed to optimize pelvic function and support your fertility journey with empathy, skill, and personalized attention.
How Pelvic Therapy Can Support Fertility
Pelvic health physical therapy aims to restore balance to the muscles, tissues, and nerves surrounding the reproductive organs. When these areas are tight, restricted, or misaligned, they may interfere with essential functions such as blood flow, hormone balance, and organ communication.
Here’s how pelvic therapy can help improve your chances of conception:
- Boosts circulation to the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes—supporting hormonal health and tissue nourishment
- Releases scar tissue and adhesions from surgeries, infections, or conditions like endometriosis and PID
- Balances pelvic floor muscles, reducing excessive tension or dysfunction that could impact reproductive function
- Promotes lymphatic drainage and reduces inflammation, helping the body maintain hormonal equilibrium
- Alleviates physical stress and tension, which are known to disrupt menstrual cycles and fertility
- Improves posture and pelvic alignment, supporting optimal nerve signaling to reproductive organs
Who Benefits from Fertility-Focused Pelvic Therapy?
Pelvic therapy is an excellent option if you are:
- Preparing for or currently undergoing fertility treatments like IUI or IVF
- Facing unexplained infertility
- Living with conditions such as PCOS, endometriosis, or painful periods
- Recovering from gynecologic surgery (laparoscopy, C-section, etc.)
- Seeking a more natural or complementary path to support conception
- Experiencing irregular cycles or chronic pelvic discomfort
What to Expect During Your Sessions
At Savannah Pelvic Health and Wellness, your care begins with a thorough one-on-one consultation where we listen to your story and assess your needs. Each session may include:
- A detailed evaluation of pelvic alignment, soft tissue mobility, and posture
- Gentle manual therapy to reduce restrictions and restore balance
- Breathing and relaxation techniques for stress relief and nervous system support
- Education on movement, body awareness, and fertility-enhancing habits
- A personalized home program to help maintain progress between visits
With ongoing treatment, many individuals report more regular cycles, decreased pain, improved emotional wellness, and enhanced outcomes alongside fertility treatments.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this therapy only for women trying to conceive naturally?
No. Whether you’re trying to conceive naturally or preparing for assisted reproductive treatments like IUI or IVF, pelvic therapy can help improve your body’s readiness and reduce physical barriers to conception.
Can pelvic floor therapy really help with infertility?
Yes, pelvic floor physical therapy can support fertility by improving pelvic alignment, reducing muscle tension, enhancing blood flow to reproductive organs, and addressing conditions like endometriosis or pelvic adhesions that may interfere with conception.
Will the treatment be invasive or painful?
Not at all. All evaluations and treatments are gentle, respectful, and always based on your comfort and consent. Many techniques are external, and any internal work is only done with full permission and clear communication.

Success Stories & Testimonials
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.

Dr. Jasmine Polk is very warm and pleasant, she’s very thorough and patient, she’s passionate, and cares. I’ve learned so much about my pelvic floor and have seen such improvement with my pelvic floor since I’ve been going to her. Thank you
Myra Smith
Pelvic Floor Therapy was not something I thought would be beneficial I honestly hadn’t heard of it until I needed it. Dr. Jasmine Polk introduced exercises before my surgery a year ago. I chose to return to her after to retouch on exercises and learn more ways to benefit my health through her knowledge and guidance. I wouldn’t go anywhere else! She explains what she is doing, and why, and takes her time with her patients knowing my time is valued, and concerns addressed! Five stars all day for Dr. Polk!
