The pelvic floor muscles play a crucial role in bladder and bowel control, sexual function, and core stability. When these muscles become weak or overactive, it can lead to discomfort, incontinence, and other health issues that impact daily life. Our pelvic floor therapy services are designed to help you regain control, strength, and function through personalized care and targeted treatments.
How Can Pelvic Floor Therapy Help?
- Bladder and Bowel Control: Physical therapy can work to improve your ability to control bladder and bowel function, helping you manage or overcome incontinence and other related issues.
- Postpartum Support: Physical therapy can aid in recovery after childbirth by strengthening the pelvic floor muscles, addressing issues like incontinence, and helping to alleviate discomfort related to the physical changes that occur during and after pregnancy.
- Pain Management: If you experience pelvic pain or discomfort, physical therapy techniques such as manual therapy, targeted exercises, and relaxation strategies can help alleviate pain and enhance your overall comfort.
- Improved Sexual Function: For those dealing with pelvic floor-related sexual dysfunction, strengthening or retraining the pelvic muscles through physical therapy may help improve sexual health and comfort.
- Support for Pelvic Organs: Physical therapy can help manage and potentially reduce the symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse by strengthening the pelvic floor muscles, providing better support for the bladder, uterus, and rectum, and enhancing overall pelvic stability.
