Pelvic & Women's Health
Pelvic Floor Therapy
What is Pelvic Floor Therapy?
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that support the bladder, bowel, and in women, the uterus. These muscles play a critical role in maintaining urinary and fecal continence, as well as supporting sexual function.
Pelvic floor therapy is a specialized form of physical therapy that focuses on strengthening and rehabilitating these muscles. Through targeted exercises, manual techniques, and lifestyle modifications, pelvic floor therapy aims to improve muscle function, alleviate discomfort, and enhance overall quality of life.
What are Common Problems?
Many women experience pelvic floor problems at some point in their lives. Common issues include urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, chronic pelvic pain, and dyspareunia (painful intercourse).
These problems can be caused by factors such as pregnancy, childbirth, aging, obesity, and certain medical conditions. Left untreated, pelvic floor problems can significantly impact a woman's physical, emotional, and social well-being.
Why These Problems Need to Be Treated?
Addressing pelvic floor problems is essential for maintaining overall health and well-being. Untreated issues can lead to chronic pain, reduced mobility, and a diminished quality of life.
By seeking treatment, women can regain control over their bladder and bowel functions, alleviate pain, and improve their sexual health. Pelvic floor therapy offers a non-invasive and effective solution to these problems, empowering women to live their lives to the fullest.
