PROTECT  YOUR  HEALTH

1 out of 3 women suffer from some form of pelvic floor dysfunction. Most of them do not tell their doctor about it

Urinary incontinence or bladder leakage while common, is NOT NORMAL.

Pelvic pain or pelvic dysfunction while common is NOT NORMAL.

Regardless of aging or having children, these symptoms are NOT NORMAL.

Easily treating these conditions with pelvic floor therapy IS NORMAL.

Pelvic Floor Therapy

Pelvic floor therapy is a treatment approach that uses the principles of physical/occupational therapy to provide a structured, effective and safe reconditioning of pelvic floor muscles. The goal of the treatment is to improve the strength and function of pelvic floor muscles and alleviate pain, weakness and dysfunction in the muscles.

What can I expect during my initial evaluation?

  • First, we’ll ask you about your pelvic health journey, symptoms, pregnancy & childbirth history, bladder & bowel habits, stress level, history of low back pain, history of hip pain, diet & fluid intake, and sexual concerns (pain/discomfort).
  • Then we will assess your posture, breathing, spine, hips, and gait, much like a typical therapy evaluation.
  • If pelvic floor dysfunction is likely based on our findings, then an internal examination of the pelvic floor muscles is highly recommended to assess the muscles inside of the pelvic girdle. This is similar to a gynecological examination, but we do not use a speculum. Your therapist will manually assess your muscles with one gloved finger. You are in control of your evaluation. If you feel uncomfortable at any time during your evaluation, let your therapist know and that information can be gathered another way.

Still not sure?
