Persistent pelvic symptoms are common. Pelvic PT visits are not.

A Quebec survey of 3,822 women who had given birth in the previous four years found that more than 95% reported at least one pelvic health condition lasting longer than three months during pregnancy and/or postpartum. Only 50.4% of women with a condition reported consulting a physiotherapist. 1

The reported reasons for not consulting included seeing symptoms as normal or self-resolving, not knowing pelvic health physiotherapy could help, and having no referral or recommendation. Name the symptom, say how long it has lasted, and ask who can assess or refer you. 1
