What is Pelvic Floor Therapy?
Pelvic floor physical therapy is a treatment to help address pain, weakness, and dysfunction in the pelvic floor muscles. The type of therapy prescribed will depend upon the symptoms you’re experiencing. For example, some symptoms will require relaxing and lengthening of the muscles, while others may require strengthening the muscles.
This treatment can be used to treat pelvic floor dysfunction and the symptoms so often associated with it. Some symptoms that can be improved with pelvic floor physical therapy are:
Urinary problems, such as:
Urinary incontinence
Urinary frequency
Urinary urgency
Painful urination
Difficulty stopping or starting urinating
Difficulty fully emptying the bladder
Bowel problems
Fecal incontinence
Straining or experiencing pain during bowel movements
Unexplained pain
Pelvic pain
Pain in the genital area
Rectal pain
Pain during intercourse
If you have any of these symptoms or have a diagnosis of interstitial cystitis (IC), pelvic floor therapy might be right for you.
