Pelvic Floor Occupational Therapy: A Whole-Person Approach
At Inner Connections Women, Michelle who is an Occupational Therapist, specializes in helping women restore and improve their ability to function in everyday life. Pelvic floor occupational therapy goes beyond treating symptoms—it focuses on how pelvic health impacts your daily activities, including work, exercise, self-care, relationships, and social engagement.
Michelle takes a holistic approach, addressing: Physical symptoms, emotional well-being, lifestyle and daily habits and the mind-body connection
I understand that pelvic health conditions can affect more than just your body—they can impact your confidence, relationships, and quality of life. That’s why treatment is always personalized and centered around what matters most to you.
Pelvic floor occupational therapy can be especially helpful for women experiencing: Bladder and bowel dysfunction, Chronic pelvic pain, Interstitial cystitis, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Vaginismus, Endometriosis, and symptoms related to menopause and hormonal changes
How Pelvic Floor Therapy Can Help:
Pelvic floor therapy is about more than exercises—it’s about empowerment and restoring function. Your individualized treatment plan may include: Patient education, manual therapy (external and internal, when appropriate), targeted exercises, biofeedback, Neuromuscular re-education, relaxation and nervous system regulation techniques, Lifestyle modifications and daily habit support, and a personalized home program.
Each plan is designed to help you move, feel, and function better in your everyday life as well as feel confident in handling your symptoms independently.
What to Expect at Your First Appointment:
Your first visit is a collaborative and supportive experience. Together, we will: Review your health history, discuss your daily routines, habits, and goals, explore what activities are most important to you. We will also assess breathing patterns, posture and alignment, muscle strength and coordination. A pelvic evaluation may be included if appropriate and with your full consent. Internal exams can be helpful but are never required—you are always in control, and your comfort is our priority.

“Deciding to reach out and work with Michelle Mintz was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I initially went to her for issues with my pelvic floor, but what I found upon our appointments was so much more. Firstly, she is the most patient, empathetic health care provider. She listens and genuinely cares about all of your health concerns and what happens in your daily life. Even when dealing with more intimate issues, she strives to make sure you are comfortable and feel safe. You come to quickly understand why the practice is called “Inner Connections,” as she helps point out how what is happening in life impacts our body and health. She’s given me tools to help not only to set a routine with my pelvic floor stretches and treatment, but also helped with my anxiety and stress management to help me navigate my body’s stress response and to live an all-around healthier life. Our sessions are always calming and helpful! I cannot recommend her enough; she will help change your life for the better and guide you on your journey through full-body healing! I know I absolutely could not have made the strides I’ve made without her help, guidance, and support—book your appointment now, you’ll be glad you did. Thank you, Michelle! “ (L.P.-Novi,MI)
