Many people may not realize how numerous health conditions can be linked to their pelvic floor. Conditions such as bladder issues, abdominal pain, and even PCOS can all be traced back to the connection between the pelvic floor and the rest of your body. That’s why at Cynergy PT, our certified physical therapists, Dr. Laurence Agénor, Dr. Bridgit Shaefer, Dr. Natalie Bravo, Dr. Chivonne Henriques, & Dr. Estella Maritza Mejia, are excited to offer patients the chance to improve the symptoms of all these conditions and more – through Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy.
Pelvic floor therapy can consist of both internal and external manual therapy including trigger point release, myofascial release, visceral manipulation, and soft tissue mobilization. Therapy can be enhanced by the following modalities: ultrasound, biofeedback, electrical stimulation, cold laser, and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. Cynergy Physical Therapy in NYC has private treatment rooms to provide a safe, healing, and comfortable environment. Our therapists are adept at working with patients who may have experienced trauma relating to pelvic floor dysfunction and are sensitive to meeting a patient’s unique needs.
The pelvic floor is a set of muscles that supports your pelvic organs, such as the bladder and bowel. These muscles aid urinary control, continence, and sexual function. Both men and women can experience pelvic floor weakness. As with other muscles, exercises can strengthen the pelvic floor, enhancing bowel and bladder function. For people who experience pregnancy, pelvic floor exercises can lower your risk of vaginal prolapse, contribute to better bowel and bladder control, and improve recovery after childbirth.
Pelvic floor physical therapy can address the following conditions: prenatal/postpartum care, pelvic pain, pain during intercourse/climax, vaginismus, vulvodynia, vestibulitis, pelvic girdle pain, erectile dysfunction, prostatitis, post-prostatectomy, incontinence, endometriosis, adenomyosis, constipation, diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, pelvic organ prolapse, osteoporosis, SI joint dysfunction, low back pain, hip pain, abdominal pain, coccyx pain, diastasis recti, and musculoskeletal injuries.
