Pelvic Floor Therapy

What are the signs of Pelvic Floor Problems?

Several symptoms may cause pelvic floor dysfunction. Unfortunately, many women are not comfortable asking their doctor about these issues. If not treated properly when symptoms arise, long-term problems may arise. Long-term consequences include prolapse, chronic low back pain, incontinence, and lumbar disc herniations.

If these symptoms arise, you should see your pelvic floor PT as soon as possible.

COMMON SYMPTOMS INCLUDE:

  • Inability to hold urine while working out/jumping/running.
  • Painful intercourse
  • Stress incontinence
  • Chronic SIJ dysfunction
  • Pelvic pain after pregnancy
  • Lumbar instability after pregnancy
  • Constipation

What Causes Pelvic Floor Dysfunction?

The pelvic floor creates a sling in your pelvis that holds up your internal organs. When you are not able to control the muscles in the pelvic floor, it is called pelvic floor dysfunction. Most patients keep the muscles continually contracted versus relaxed. Pelvic floor dysfunction commonly occurs after childbirth but may arise in both men and women. Our innovative care strategies at Solutions Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine will help you find quick relief.
