SoftWave Therapy for Pelvic Health at Wellsprings Health in Hollywood, FL: A Non-Invasive Path to Lasting Relief

Pelvic pain, muscle tension, and movement limitations can affect everything from daily comfort to sexual function and postpartum recovery. If you’re searching for a safe, clinically proven treatment that addresses the root cause of pelvic dysfunction—not just the symptoms—SoftWave Therapy at Wellsprings Health offers a powerful, non-surgical solution for restoring healing, mobility, and long-term relief. SoftWave is a breakthrough technology that allows us to treat deeper tissues, calm irritated nerves, and reduce chronic pelvic pain without medication, injections, or downtime.

How SoftWave Therapy Supports Pelvic Health

SoftWave Therapy uses patented unfocused, low-intensity shockwaves that spread gently through the tissue—making it especially effective for sensitive pelvic floor structures, deep muscles, and scar tissue. Unlike traditional shockwave devices that deliver concentrated points of energy, SoftWave disperses energy more broadly and comfortably, allowing for:
  • Release of pelvic floor trigger points 
  • Reduction of nerve sensitivity 
  • Improved blood flow to support healing 
  • Relaxation of tight or overactive pelvic muscles 
  • Breakdown of adhesions and scar tissue 
  • Support for postpartum recovery and tissue regeneration 
This makes SoftWave particularly useful for treating chronic pelvic pain, painful intercourse, tailbone pain, pelvic floor hypertonicity, postpartum dysfunction, and conditions that have not responded well to other treatments.

Why Choose SoftWave Therapy for Pelvic Pain?

SoftWave gives pelvic health patients a gentle, research-backed alternative to invasive procedures, medications, or repeated injections. Patients choose SoftWave because it is:
  • Non-invasive – No surgery, injections, or anesthesia.
  • Highly comfortable – Broad, gentle waves make treatment more tolerable than traditional shockwave devices.
  • Clinically supported – Used in top medical and research institutions nationwide.
  • Targeted and effective – Reaches deep pelvic tissues that are difficult to treat manually.
  • Drug-free – Helps reduce the need for pain medications or muscle relaxants.
  • Designed for long-term results – Stimulates tissue repair and regeneration, not just temporary symptom relief.
For many pelvic patients, SoftWave helps restore normal muscle function, reduce persistent pain, and improve mobility in ways that traditional therapy alone cannot achieve.

Pelvic Health Conditions Commonly Treated with SoftWave Therapy

SoftWave is used across pelvic physical therapy to improve tissue healing, reduce irritation, and normalize pelvic floor function. Conditions that respond well include:
  • Chronic pelvic pain 
  • Dyspareunia (painful intercourse) 
  • Pelvic floor tension/myalgia 
  • Pelvic myofascial pain syndrome 
  • Coccyx pain (coccydynia) 
  • Pudendal neuralgia or nerve irritation 
  • Painful sitting 
  • Postpartum pelvic dysfunction 
  • Episiotomy or C-section scar tissue 
  • Hip and pelvic musculature contributing to pelvic dysfunction 
Untreated pelvic pain often worsens over time, leading to compensatory muscle tightness, increased inflammation, and chronic mobility limitations. Early treatment helps prevent long-term issues.

What to Expect During Your SoftWave Therapy Treatment

Your session begins with a pelvic health evaluation to determine the exact structures involved. A specialized gel is applied, and the SoftWave device gently delivers unfocused acoustic pulses into the treatment area. Patients typically experience:
  • Noticeable reduction in pain 
  • Release of deep pelvic muscle tension 
  • Improved mobility in the pelvic floor 
  • Calming of nerve irritation 
  • Loosening of scar tissue or adhesions 
A typical plan consists of three to six sessions, spaced weekly. There is no downtime, but we recommend avoiding intense exercise or heavy core activity for 24–48 hours afterward to allow tissues to heal.

My wife and I can’t thank Dr. Leslie enough for everything she’s done for us.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Dr. Leslie! She has truly changed my life. From the very first visit, she was professional, kind, and extremely knowledgeable. She took the time to really understand my pain and came up with a treatment plan that actually worked. The SoftWave shockwave therapy she uses is incredible — it took away my inflammation and addressed scar tissue pain that no other doctor was able to help me with. After working with Dr. Leslie, I honestly feel like I’m 19 again! The relief I’ve experienced is worth every penny and more. If you’re struggling with pain, don’t waste time anywhere else. Dr. Leslie is the only doctor who was able to remove my pain and give me my mobility and quality of life back. I highly, highly recommend her services!
