What Is the Pelvic Floor?
The pelvic floor is a network of muscles and connective tissues that provide stability and support to vital organs, including the bladder and intestines. When these muscles are not functioning in the right way, it can lead to a range of symptoms, such as:
- Urinary or bowel incontinence
- Pelvic pain or discomfort
- Postpartum muscle weakness
- Pain during intercourse
- Chronic constipation
- Pressure or discomfort from organ prolapse
Pelvic floor dysfunction can result from pregnancy, surgery, aging, or underlying medical conditions, but therapy can help restore normal function and improve overall well-being.
How Pelvic Floor Therapy Works
A pelvic floor therapist will evaluate your symptoms and create a personalized treatment plan based on your needs. Therapy may include:
- Manual therapy – Gentle techniques to release tightness and improve mobility
- Targeted exercises – Strengthening or relaxation exercises to enhance muscle coordination
- Biofeedback – Training to improve awareness and control of pelvic floor muscles
- Lifestyle and posture guidance – Education on habits that support pelvic health
This comprehensive approach helps reduce symptoms and prevent future issues.
The Benefits of Treatment
Pelvic floor therapy is a non-invasive and effective way to address pelvic health concerns. With regular treatment, many people experience:
- Reduced pain and discomfort
- Improved bladder and bowel control
