If by “pelvic therapy” you mean the pelvic floor exercises, biofeedback etc., my primary care doctor referred me for that awhile back after months of diarrhea with then no diagnosis of its cause. The therapist was extremely knowledgeable, caring and well trained in pelvic floor dysfunction therapy. Of course The therapy didn’t do anything to stop the diarrhea and at the time I didn’t think it was helpful. But now I am glad I went through the therapy because I have much better control when I feel an attack coming on—no more “accidents” while searching for a bathroom. So maybe your therapy hasn’t been totally unproductive.

Like you, I don't mean to say pelvic therapy can't be very helpful. I started with myofascial,release, which did help reduce the constriction or adhesions from multiple surgeries . I then began pelvic floor therapy, which showed I had a tight pelvic floor. This included biofeedback to help relearn how to relax/contract the pelvic floor muscles. All 3 of the physical therapists I saw were very knowledgeable and caring. However, for some reason I was experiencing more GI issues near the end of treatment, which may be totally unrelated to the treatment received. I want to stress that physical therapy can be a very valuable treatment approach.
