What Conditions can be Treated with Pelvic Floor Therapy?

Pelvic floor therapy is a specialized rehabilitation program used to address several conditions related to muscle weakness, lack of coordination, or dysfunction in the pelvic region.

Common conditions treated include:

• Urinary Incontinence: This includes leakage during activities like coughing, sneezing, or exercising, as well as issues with urgency and frequent urination.
• Pelvic Organ Prolapse: Therapy helps manage the sensation of pelvic pressure or bulging by using supportive exercises and biofeedback to restore muscle support for the bladder, uterus, and rectum.
• Postpartum Dysfunction: It is a vital part of recovery after childbirth, addressing concerns such as general muscle weakness, diastasis recti (abdominal separation), and scar tissue management.
• Pelvic Pain and Bowel Difficulties: Therapy can help ease persistent pelvic pressure or pain and improve bowel function by retraining the "hammock" of muscles that support the pelvic organs.
• Sexual Health Issues: Because the pelvic floor muscles are key to sexual health and core stability, strengthening and coordinating these muscles can improve overall function and comfort.
