Pelvic Floor Therapy is a type of physical therapy that focuses on the muscles in your pelvic floor, which play a crucial role in supporting your reproductive organs, bladder, and bowels. These muscles can get tight, weak, or imbalanced, leading to issues like painful intercourse, incontinence, or constipation. A pelvic floor therapist can help you identify and address these issues.
So, how does it work? A pelvic floor therapist will typically start by doing an internal exam to assess the muscles in your pelvic floor, and then create a personalized treatment plan to help you strengthen, relax, or retrain these muscles. This might involve exercises, stretching, or biofeedback to help you become more aware of your pelvic floor muscles.
