What is Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy?
The pelvic floor is a very important part of the core and the functioning of the entire body. Similar to spasms and weakness in other muscles, we can also experience this in the pelvic floor muscles. This can cause pelvic pain, pain with intercourse and bladder incontinence to name a few issues. Addressing both the flexibility and strength of these muscles is very important for full recovery and can provide freedom from pain and discomfort for many patients.
Who can benefit from Pelvic Floor Physical therapy?
Patients with various pelvic floor issues including but not limited to:
- Urinary incontinence
- Pelvic muscle spasm
- Pelvic floor dysfunction
- Chronic pelvic pain
- Prostatitis
- Ejaculatory Pain
- Pre and Post Prostatectomy
- Diastasis Rectii
What is a typical treatment session?
Pelvic floor physical therapy may involve a number of different treatment strategies. Before getting started a therapist will perform flexibility and strength assessment as well as an internal and external muscle assessment. Once an assessment has been done treatment sessions regularly include functional exercises that are designed to train the pelvic floor and core for a greater quality of life.
