Female Pelvic Health

Female pelvic health encompasses the condition and function of the pelvic floor muscles, ligaments, and tissues that support key pelvic organs such as the bladder, uterus, and rectum. This integral system plays a vital role in essential bodily functions, including urination, bowel movements, sexual activity, and childbirth. Maintaining a healthy pelvic floor is crucial for overall wellness and quality of life.

WE TAKE A FULL BODY APPROACH WHEN IT COMES TO EVALUATING YOUR SYMPTOMS

As a patient will evaluate your entire body, regardless of your diagnosis. It is important to have an expert pelvic physical therapist investigate not only what is causing your current discomfort, but why it developed, and how we can prevent it from returning in the future. We look at your overall strength, endurance, mobility, tissue health, and coordination to identify a unique case plan for your recovery. Even though patients may have similar conditions, everyone’s road to wellness looks different. You may experience symptoms including:

Why is Female Pelvic Health Important?

Prevention of Incontinence: A well-maintained pelvic floor helps prevent urinary and fecal incontinence, conditions that can significantly disrupt daily life. Through specific exercises and therapies, women can strengthen these muscles, reducing or eliminating these issues.

Support During Pregnancy and Childbirth: The pelvic floor endures considerable stress during pregnancy and childbirth. Your posture and center of gravity is changing which requires the use of different muscles. Keeping these muscles healthy can facilitate easier childbirth, quicker postpartum recovery, and reduce tearing/ complications such as pelvic organ prolapse.

Enhanced Sexual Health: A healthy pelvic floor contributes to improved sexual function and satisfaction by enhancing control and sensation. Pelvic floor exercises can also alleviate pain during intercourse, promoting a more fulfilling sexual experience.

Reduction of Pelvic Pain: Chronic pelvic pain, often associated with conditions like pelvic floor dysfunction, endometriosis, and interstitial cystitis, can be debilitating. Proper pelvic health care can help manage and alleviate this pain, improving daily comfort and overall well-being.

Overall Core Stability: The pelvic floor is a critical component of the body’s core, working in tandem with the diaphragm, abdominal muscles, and back muscles. A strong pelvic floor enhances posture, stability, and overall physical strength.
