PELVIC FLOOR REHABILITATION
Pelvic Health Physiotherapy: What is it?
Physiotherapy for pelvic health focuses on the muscles of the pelvic floor. Traditional physical therapy often ignores or does not treat the pelvic floor, which is very important.
Pelvic floor functions include:
- Supporting the pelvic organs (bowel, bladder, uterus, prostrate)
- Counteracting downward forces generated from lifting and straining
- Providing normal bowel and bladder emptying by controlling sphincters
- Expanding to accommodate childbirth
- Provides core control by working in harmony with the abdominal and back muscles
- Allowing for sexual activity
Among the symptoms of a dysfunctional pelvic floor are incontinence (both bowel and bladder), prolapse of the organs, pelvic pain, low back pain, pain during intercourse, sexual dysfunction, and more.
Are you suffering from any of these conditions?
- Problems with the urinary system, including incontinence (leaking), frequent peeing, and urgency
- Constipation and other bowel problems
- Pain in the lower back and pelvis
- Intercourse that is painful or difficult
- Postpartum and prepartum
- Pelvic surgery before and after
Physiotherapy can help you train and strengthen the muscles of your pelvic floor in order to relieve or eliminate your symptoms.
Pelvic Health Appointments: What to Expect?
Your abdomen, back, and pelvic girdle will be thoroughly examined by the pelvic health therapist. In order to properly assess your pelvic floor muscles, pelvic health therapists will conduct an internal examination. The treatment is very similar and usually involves internal treatment. Similar to physiotherapy for other conditions, the treatment will also include exercises and a home exercise program.
