Pelvic floor physical therapy addresses bowel, bladder, and sexual function. The pelvic floor is a diamond-shaped set of muscles located at the base of the pelvis. It is a key component of the "core" along with the deep abdominals, back muscles, and diaphragm. These muscles can get weak, tense, or dis-coordinated. Sometimes problems with urination, defecation, sex, and pain can occur as a result.
Many people are surprised to learn that physical therapy can treat conditions like incontinence, constipation, pelvic pain, gastrointestinal and reproductive illnesses, and pain with intercourse. PT is effective with these concerns because they often have a musculoskeletal origin or effects on the neuromuscular system that improve with targeted exercise, breathing strategies, manual therapy, and lifestyle changes.
The best pelvic floor PT doesn't just address the pelvis-it considers the interrelationship of your entire body. It assesses the context of your life and lifestyle. It explores your mindset and beliefs, because these factors impact your health and how your nervous system manages pain.
