What is Pelvic Health Physical Therapy?

Pelvic Health Physical Therapy focuses on the evaluation, assessment, and treatment of the pelvic floor muscle system. The pelvic floor forms a muscular sling from the tailbone to the pubic bone. These muscles play a large role in core stabilization, and can strongly influence performance in activities such as running, jumping, and weightlifting. They also provide support to internal organs, and holds an important role in our bowel, bladder, and sexual health.

 

This type of therapy is so much more than kegals. Interestingly, often times muscles of the pelvic floor are actually in spasm, and the last thing you want to do is contract them further. A proper evaluation is extremely important in determining the best treatment plan for your pelvic health.

Reduces Pelvic Tension

Tight Pelvic tension can create tension around reproductive organs, potentially interfering with conception. Physical therapy helps release muscle tension, creating a more supportive environment for reproductive health.
