Most women assume that they will have to ‘Live with it’ and that ‘It is normal to have these symptoms’. While it is common to develop dysfunction in the pelvic region, it is not something you need to live with! Most women are not aware that specialized Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy can help with their symptoms and it is very effective!

Pelvic Floor, like any other part of our body is composed of bones, muscles, ligaments and fascia, along with some vital organs such as the bladder, uterus, and rectum. Dysfunctions in the pelvic floor can therefore create issues in these organs as well. For example, if you have a very tight pelvic floor, you can experience pain with intercourse. Having a weak pelvic floor can also create symptoms like incontinence, prolapse, pelvic pain and interstitial cystitis.

With a thorough assessment, our highly skilled Physical Therapist will evaluate the muscle imbalances that may exist in the pelvic floor or any fascial restrictions which may be creating your symptoms. With both external and internal (per-vaginal) techniques, these restrictions/ weaknesses can be alleviated, in turn resolving your symptoms. Biofeedback equipment may also be utilized to give you instant feedback on muscle recruitment, strengthening, etc.
