Sometimes we experience health issues we don’t know how to talk about. It can be difficult or embarrassing, but it’s important to take care of yourself. Do you feel like you are regularly experiencing discomfort in your pelvic area? Do you feel like you’re constantly running to the bathroom, and sometimes it’s too late? If your answer is yes, you may be dealing with a problem known as pelvic floor dysfunction, which involves weakness in the pelvic floor muscles. If this sounds like you, you may want to consider pursuing pelvic floor therapy.
Pelvic floor therapy can benefit a variety of issues you may be experiencing. It can help you if you are experiencing pain in your pelvic region, urgent and/or frequent urination, or urinary or fecal incontinence. Pain in the pelvic region includes pain in your:
- Abdominals
- Buttocks
- Pelvic floor
- Rectum
- Tailbone
- Vagina
These muscles can be affected by surgery, trauma, disuse, or prolapse. This can cause them to be weak, tight, or spastic, likely causing you to experience a great deal of discomfort.
Thankfully, there are some ways that you can get help in this area and strengthen your pelvic floor muscles. Pelvic floor therapy can be used for those with weakness in these areas, and it may also help you feel relaxed. During a consultation, a member of our team will learn more about you and your goals to determine the right treatment plan for you.
