Did you know that 1 in 3 women over the age of 18 suffer from pelvic floor dysfunction?
Pelvic Floor Dysfunction is the pain and disruption of bladder, bowel &/or sexual function due to restrictions of the muscles and nerves of the pelvis. It can affect men, women, and children.
The 3 most common symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction are
1. Bladder symptoms- pain, frequency,
leaking, urgency, hesitancy, bladder and urethral pain
2. Bowel symptoms- constipation, fecal incontinence, straining
3. Sexual symptoms- painful intercourse in women
There are many treatments available for these symptoms
- manual therapy to reduce tension in muscles
- biofeedback to reeducate muscles
- visceral mobilization to release adhesions
- bladder and bowel retraining
Physical therapy can help with pelvic floor dysfunction. This is a great alternative to medication and is covered by insurance.
