Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy Pelvic floor dysfunction is very common. Pelvic Floor Therapy treats and helps prevent pelvic floor disorders and focuses on the prevention and rehabilitation of dysfunctional muscles within the pelvic floor that is often associated with pregnancy. In the post-partum population, 50% of women will experience incontinence, sexual dysfunction, prolapse, or pelvic pain. While common, it is not normal, and all of these issues can be easily treated. Pelvic Floor Therapy has been proven beneficial prior to pregnancy, during, and after pregnancy to both prevent and treat pelvic floor dysfunction. It can help individuals to decrease or eliminate pelvic-related pain and related issues and prevent incontinence, allowing you to regain the freedom of enjoying activities without worry of pain or leaking
Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy may be helpful for you if you experience any of the following:
- Pelvic pain, tailbone, or lower back pain that’s interfering with your quality of life.
- Sexual dysfunction such as genital or vaginal pain affecting your sex life or reduced sensation.
- Issues of incontinence or leaking, either peripartum, following a partial or total hysterectomy, or simply as you get older.
- Fear of coughing, sneezing, or laughing and fear that even a short run across the street may cause leaking.
- Increased frequency or urgency to get to the bathroom, painful urination, constipation, or difficult bowel movements.
- A feeling of heaviness or bulging in the pelvic region – symptoms of prolapse.
For women who are pregnant, Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy can help prevent any of these symptoms.
What to expect:
The initial appointment involves taking a detailed history, a musculoskeletal screen, and assessing your posture and pelvic floor mechanics. If an internal examination is indicated, it is done using one or two fingers (either vaginally or rectally) to manually assess and treat pelvic floor muscles – all in a comfortable position (no stirrups).The initial assessment includes a personal treatment plan and exercise program with the goal of preventing and restoring weakened and imbalanced muscles and/or changes to posture caused by pregnancy. Follow-up appointments are generally scheduled with 2-4 weeks between visits.
