At Auria Pelvic Health, we believe everyone deserves compassionate, expert care that honors their whole identity.
For many in the LGBTQIA+ community, pelvic health concerns are an important—but often overlooked—part of overall wellness.
Whether you’re navigating recovery, prevention, or pain management, affirming pelvic health care can make all the difference.
Why Pelvic Health Is Important for LGBTQIA+ Individuals
Pelvic floor health affects bladder, bowel, sexual function, and core stability—areas that touch many aspects of daily life.
For LGBTQIA+ individuals, unique life experiences can shape pelvic health needs, including:
Gender-Affirming Care: People who have undergone bottom surgery, top surgery, or hormone therapy may benefit from pelvic floor support to improve comfort, mobility, and long-term wellness.

Chest Binding or Tucking: Practices that affirm gender identity may also place strain on posture, breathing, or pelvic floor muscles—areas that pelvic therapy can help rebalance.
Pregnancy & Postpartum: LGBTQIA+ parents may face unique challenges during and after pregnancy. Pelvic health therapy can help reduce pain, restore function, and support recovery.
Chronic Pain & Tension: Stress, trauma, or medical experiences can impact pelvic floor tension and lead to pain with sitting, exercise, or intimacy.
Sexual Wellness: Pelvic therapy can support comfortable, pain-free intimacy regardless of anatomy, orientation, or relationship style.
