What is Pelvic Floor Therapy?
Pelvic Floor Therapy is a specialized treatment designed to address issues related to bowel, bladder and sexual function. Depending on your needs, therapy may include manual techniques, stretching, strengthening exercises, and guidance on lifestyle changes that may be contributing to your symptoms.
Our therapists are experts in the muscles, tissues, and nerves that affect the pelvic floor. During your first visit, your therapist will take time to understand your medical history and listen to your concerns. They will then perform a thorough evaluation, which may include a physical exam and a general mobility assessment. Based on this evaluation, your therapist will develop a personalized treatment plan to support your health and recovery.
What is the Goal of Pelvic Floor Therapy?
- Controlled use of your bowels/bladder
- Decreased pain and reduced medication
- Reduced need for further surgery
- Education on exercises to help strengthen your pelvic floor muscles
- Education on treatment options
