How does physical therapy help pelvic pain?

Pelvic floor rehabilitation is a type of physical therapy that has been proven to treat a variety of conditions resulting in pelvic pain. This kind of therapy can benefit all genders.

There are many different kinds of pelvic conditions that PT treatments can relieve. For example, painful intercourse and infertility problems may also be improved with pelvic therapy. Some less common conditions that can be treated also include pelvic organ prolapse, dyspareunia, and diastasis recti.

Some of the most common pelvic conditions that physical therapy treats include:

Pain following abdominal surgery

If you are recovering from a recent surgical procedure, pelvic floor rehabilitation can help in breaking up scar tissue, improving strength, and regaining range of motion in your abdomen/pelvic region.

Postpartum pelvic pain

After giving birth, it is common for new mothers to experience strained muscles and/or connective tissue damage in their pelvic floor. Pelvic floor rehabilitation helps in reducing the pain that is being felt, in addition to strengthening any damaged muscles or tissues.

Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a common condition that affects many women. It can affect the bones, muscles, ligaments, and nerves in the pelvic region. Pelvic floor rehabilitation can help reduce the pain and bloating that you may be experiencing with endometriosis, in addition to strengthening the pelvic floor muscles.

Urinary incontinence/bladder dysfunction

Pelvic floor rehabilitation will focus on strengthening the muscles under your bladder in order to treat and eliminate incontinence issues.

A physical therapist can help determine the root of your problem with urinary incontinence, rather than simply treating the symptoms.

Constipation

Pelvic floor rehabilitation can loosen and relax the muscles in your pelvic and anal areas, which can help relieve and eliminate constipation.

What does pelvic floor therapy involve?

At your first appointment, your pelvic specialist will do a thorough analysis of your condition. The treatments involved in your pelvic floor rehabilitation plan will be dependent upon the results of your initial assessment.

A customized treatment plan will be created that will address your specific needs. This will typically include several forms of exercise, heat therapy, and massage to reduce pain, lessen symptoms, and potentially heal your condition.

The muscles, tendons, and ligaments that comprise the pelvic floor all serve an extremely important purpose, as they support the core of your body. Our therapy offices are equipped with the resources necessary for evaluating and treating all forms of pelvic pain. In many cases, our treatment methods can help provide relief and recovery for problems that patients have been facing for years.
