Pelvic Floor Therapy in Fort Collins

Muscle Restoration Therapy provides non-invasive pelvic floor therapy in Fort Collins for people dealing with bladder leaks, urgency, pelvic discomfort, core weakness, postpartum changes, low back symptoms, or concerns after prostate surgery. Treatment uses HIFEM technology while you remain fully clothed, with no internal exam and no downtime. Every plan begins with an evaluation to determine whether this approach fits your symptoms and goals.

Non-Invasive HIFEM Treatment in Fort Collins

At MRT, HIFEM technology creates repeated, targeted muscle contractions while you sit fully clothed in a specialized treatment chair. There are no probes, internal exams, or recovery period. Sessions take about 30 minutes, and the intensity can be adjusted to your comfort level.

This approach is not presented as a replacement for medical care or traditional pelvic floor physical therapy. It may be used as a separate option or as part of a broader care plan when the evaluation shows that muscle strength and coordination are contributing to symptoms.

How the HIFEM Treatment Chair Works

Depending on your evaluation, care may also include Muscle Restoration Therapy or other non-invasive pain management services. These options are recommended only when they support comfort, mobility, and function.

HIFEM uses focused electromagnetic energy to activate the muscles involved in bladder control, core support, and pelvic stability. The treatment produces contractions that are difficult to create through voluntary exercises alone.

You remain fully clothed throughout the session. Most people describe a tapping, tingling, or pulsing feeling rather than pain. After the session, you can return to normal daily activity.

What to Expect During Pelvic Floor Therapy

Your first visit begins with a review of your symptoms, health history, goals, and any factors that could affect treatment safety. MRT uses this information to decide whether HIFEM or another approach may be appropriate.

If treatment is recommended, you remain fully clothed while sitting in the HIFEM chair for about 30 minutes. The intensity is adjusted to your comfort level. You may feel tapping, pulsing, or repeated muscle contractions during the session.

MRT tracks symptoms at the beginning and end of the program. This may include bladder leaks, bathroom urgency and frequency, pelvic discomfort, sexual function, and low back symptoms. Progress is measured rather than assumed.

Symptoms and Conditions We Evaluate

HIFEM treatment may be considered when weakness or poor coordination contributes to bladder symptoms, pelvic discomfort, postpartum changes, or recovery after prostate surgery. MRT evaluates six main areas and tracks changes throughout care.

HIFEM treatment may be considered when weakness or poor coordination contributes to bladder symptoms, pelvic discomfort, postpartum changes, or recovery after prostate surgery. MRT evaluates six main areas and tracks changes throughout care.

For a more detailed explanation, see the conditions that pelvic floor therapy may help.

Urinary Leak Frequency and Severity

Bladder leaks with coughing, sneezing, lifting, running, or standing can be linked to weak or poorly coordinated support muscles. The research cited below reported improved incontinence quality-of-life scores after HIFEM treatment. MRT tracks both the frequency and severity of leaks during care.

Bathroom Urgency and Frequency

Urgency, frequent bathroom trips, and nighttime waking can disrupt work, exercise, travel, and sleep. HIFEM creates repeated contractions intended to improve muscle strength and coordination. MRT tracks urgency and frequency to determine whether symptoms change over time.

Sexual Function and Satisfaction

Muscle strength and coordination can affect sexual function in both women and men. The research cited on this page reports changes in female sexual function scores, while men’s treatment may focus on strength and control after prostate care. These concerns are discussed privately during the evaluation.

Post-Partum Pelvic Floor Recovery

Pregnancy and childbirth can affect bladder control, muscle strength, and core support. Postpartum pelvic floor therapy at MRT is non-invasive and does not require an internal exam. Current pregnancy is listed as a reason someone may not qualify, so safety screening is required before treatment.

Post-Prostatectomy Incontinence in Men

Men with continued leakage after prostate surgery may need additional rehabilitation support. The 2025 study cited below reported improved incontinence scores and reduced pad use following HIFEM treatment. MRT reviews surgical history and current symptoms before treatment begins.

Pelvic Pain, Pressure, and Low Back Pain

The muscles involved in pelvic support work with the hips, core, and low back. When weakness or poor coordination is part of the problem, strengthening the support system may improve function. People whose main concern is back discomfort can also review MRT’s back pain relief options.

Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation for Women and Men

Bladder symptoms, pelvic discomfort, weakness, and changes in function can affect women and men at different stages of life. MRT offers a private, non-invasive option for people who want treatment without internal examinations or surgery.

Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation for Women

Women may seek pelvic floor therapy for postpartum recovery, bladder leaks, changes after menopause, pelvic pressure, or concerns about muscle strength and sexual function.

  • Post-partum pelvic floor weakness, with leaks that appear with lifting, coughing, or exercise
  • Post-menopausal changes in bladder control and pelvic floor function
  • Chronic pelvic pain, pressure, or discomfort that hasn’t responded to other treatments
  • Reduced sensation or changes in sexual function
  • Women who have tried Kegel exercises for years without satisfactory results
  • Women who want pelvic floor care without an internal examination

Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation for Men

Men may seek pelvic floor therapy for continued leakage after prostate surgery, urgency, nighttime bathroom trips, pelvic discomfort, or concerns about strength and sexual function.

  • Persistent urinary incontinence following radical prostatectomy
  • Urinary urgency, frequency, or nocturia
  • Pelvic floor weakness contributing to sexual function concerns
  • Chronic pelvic pain that hasn’t resolved with standard care
  • Post-surgical pelvic floor rehabilitation
  • Men who prefer a non-pharmaceutical, non-surgical option

Research Behind HIFEM Treatment

Unlike many treatments marketed through med spas, HIFEM pelvic floor therapy has a meaningful and growing body of peer-reviewed clinical research. Below are two studies that inform our clinical approach. Published findings do not guarantee the same result for every patient. MRT uses the research as one part of the evaluation and tracks each person’s symptoms throughout care.

Randomized Trial: HIFEM vs. Pelvic Floor Exercises

Guerette et al., 2023, published in the Journal of Women’s Health Care. A multi-center randomized controlled trial comparing HIFEM therapy to conventional pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) for the treatment of urinary incontinence in women. The HIFEM group demonstrated a 35% improvement in ICIQ-LUTSqol scores at six months — statistically significant and clinically meaningful. Improvements were sustained through the 12-month follow-up. The PFMT group did not reach statistical significance at long-term follow-up.

Clinical Efficacy in Men: Post-Prostatectomy Incontinence

A 2025 clinical study evaluating HIFEM therapy in men with persistent urinary incontinence following radical prostatectomy. Mean ICIQ-SF scores improved by 53.1% after the treatment course and by 60.6% at one-month follow-up. Daily pad use dropped from baseline to approximately one pad per day at follow-up. No adverse events were reported across the study population.

Why Choose Muscle Restoration Therapy for Pelvic Floor Care

A Clinic, Not a Med Spa

We are a pain and recovery clinic in Fort Collins — not an aesthetics practice. Pelvic floor therapy sits alongside our other clinical modalities including SoftWave therapy, laser therapy, PEMF, and spinal decompression. Patients are treated by practitioners, not salespeople. Treatment decisions are clinical, not cosmetic.

Outcome Tracking Built Into Every Program

We measure progress across six validated dimensions — urinary leak frequency and severity, bathroom urgency and frequency, sexual function and satisfaction, pelvic pain, and low back pain. Every patient completes intake and exit tracking so that improvement is documented, not guessed at.

Treatment Connected to Whole-Body Care

Pelvic symptoms do not always occur by themselves. The muscles involved in pelvic support work with the hips, core, and low back. When appropriate, MRT can connect this treatment with other services focused on pain, mobility, muscle function, and recovery.
