Cancer Care
at Inland Pelvic Health
Cancers that affect the pelvis—and even those elsewhere in the body—can impact pelvic health, sometimes in unexpected ways. At Inland Pelvic Health, we offer compassionate, specialized pelvic therapy to help you navigate the effects of cancer and its treatment on your pelvic floor, organs, and overall function.
Common Cancer-Related Challenges We Treat
Pelvic Cancers & Their Effects
Bladder, colorectal, uterine, cervical, ovarian, vaginal, prostate, and testicular cancers can all weaken, scar, or irritate the pelvic floor muscles. We address the changes these cancers and their treatments create, supporting both recovery and quality of life.
Bladder & Bowel Dysfunction
Urinary incontinence, urgency, constipation, or stool leakage can result from cancer-related tissue changes or treatments like radiation and surgery. We restore control and improve pelvic organ function.
Pelvic Pain & Scar Tissue
Surgical scars, radiation fibrosis, and nerve irritation can cause lasting discomfort. We use hands-on techniques to improve mobility, reduce pain, and relieve tension.
Non-Pelvic Cancers
Impacting Pelvic FunctionCancers outside the pelvis—such as abdominal, breast, or lymphatic cancers—can still affect the pelvic area through scarring, nerve damage, or changes in movement patterns. We treat the whole body with a pelvic focus.
Sexual Health Concerns
Cancer treatment can lead to pain, dryness, erectile dysfunction, or difficulty with intimacy. We help restore comfort, confidence, and function at your pace.
How Pelvic Therapy Supports Cancer Recovery
We take a gentle, tailored approach, meeting you wherever you are in your oncology journey. Therapy may include:
-
Soft tissue mobilization and scar tissue release
-
Strengthening weakened muscles and restoring coordination
-
Relieving painful spasms and trigger points
-
Education on bladder, bowel, and sexual function
-
Movement strategies to regain confidence and comfort
What to Expect During Your Visit
We begin by learning about your symptoms and history, then complete a thoughtful evaluation of your posture, mobility, strength, and pelvic alignment. When appropriate and with your consent, we can perform an internal exam to assess the pelvic floor directly.
We work alongside your oncology team to ensure coordinated care and to support you through treatment, recovery, and beyond.
