🚽 UTI symptoms—but your urine tests keep coming back negative?
Burning, urgency, frequency, pelvic pressure, and the constant feeling that you need to p*e can feel exactly like a UTI. But when cultures are repeatedly negative—or antibiotics aren’t solving the problem—the pelvic floor may be part of the missing piece.
Tight, irritated, or poorly coordinated pelvic floor muscles can contribute to:
• Urinary urgency and frequency
• Burning or discomfort with urination
• Pelvic or bladder pain
• Difficulty fully emptying the bladder
• Symptoms that keep returning despite negative testing
Pelvic floor physical therapy does not replace testing or medical treatment for a true infection. However, once infection and other medical causes have been addressed, we can assess the muscles, nerves, breathing patterns, bladder habits, and other factors that may be contributing to ongoing symptoms.

You deserve more than being told, “Your test is negative, so everything must be fine.”
