PELVIC FLOOR THERAPY COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE WE’RE VACCINATED! We’re happy to share that all of our physical therapists are fully vaccinated against Covid-19!
Dealing with pelvic pain alone can be very confusing and scary, but luckily, it can be addressed and possibly fixed through pelvic floor rehabilitation. Some of the most common pelvic conditions that our physical therapists treat include postpartumpelvic pain, pain following abdominal surgery, dyspareunia, and endometriosis. Take a look at the following reasons for pelvic floor pain: Why Am I Experiencing Pelvic Floor Pain? • A recent abdominal surgery. If you are recovering from a recent abdominal surgery, pelvic floor rehabilitation can assist with breaking up scar tissue, improving strength, and regaining range of motion in your abdomen/pelvic region. • Endometriosis. Endometriosis is a condition many women suffer from without even knowing it. This condition can affect the bones, muscles, ligaments, and nerves in the pelvic region and cause excess scar tissue. Pelvic floor rehabilitation can help reduce the pain and bloating that you may be experiencing
with endometriosis, in addition to strengthening the pelvic floor muscles. • Urinary leakage or frequency. If you’re struggling with urinary incontinence, a physical therapist can help determine the root of your problem. Instead of simply treating the symptoms, your physical therapist can focus on the cause and focus on strengthening the muscles under your bladder. This will help treat and eliminate your incontinence issues. • Constipation. Pelvic floor therapists can loosen and relax the muscles in your pelvic and anal areas, which can help relieve and eliminate constipation. • You recently had a baby. After giving birth, it is common for newmothers to experience strainedmuscles and/or connective tissue damage in their pelvic floor. Pelvic floor rehabilitation helps with postpartum pelvic pain, in addition to strengthening and restoring any damaged muscles or tissues.
