Common Types of Pelvic Floor Issues That Can Be Easily Treated with Physiotherapy
Pelvic floor issues are more common than you might think, affecting both men and women. These conditions can cause discomfort and disrupt your daily life, but the good news is that many of them can be effectively treated with physiotherapy. At AVI'S PHYSICAL THERAPY, our specialized pelvic floor physiotherapists are here to help you regain control and improve your quality of life. Here’s a look at some common pelvic floor issues that can be easily managed with physiotherapy:
1. Urinary Incontinence
Urinary incontinence is the involuntary leakage of urine, a condition that affects many people, especially after childbirth or with aging. Pelvic floor physiotherapy can strengthen the muscles that control the bladder, reducing or eliminating leaks and improving your bladder control.
2. Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when the pelvic organs, such as the bladder, uterus, or rectum, descend into or outside of the vaginal canal due to weakened pelvic floor muscles. Physiotherapy can help by strengthening these muscles, offering non-surgical relief, and preventing further prolapse.
3. Chronic Pelvic Pain
Chronic pelvic pain is a persistent pain in the pelvic region, often related to conditions like endometriosis or interstitial cystitis. Pelvic floor physiotherapy can help manage this pain by releasing muscle tension, improving flexibility, and addressing any underlying muscle imbalances.
4. Dyspareunia (Painful Intercourse)
Dyspareunia, or pain during intercourse, is often caused by tight or overactive pelvic floor muscles. Physiotherapy can help relax these muscles, improve blood flow, and reduce pain, making sexual activity more comfortable.
5. Constipation
Chronic constipation can be a result of pelvic floor dysfunction, where the muscles are either too tight or too weak to allow for normal bowel movements. Pelvic floor physiotherapy can teach you exercises and techniques to improve bowel function and relieve constipation.
6. Postpartum Rehabilitation
After childbirth, many women experience pelvic floor issues such as incontinence or prolapse. Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in postpartum rehabilitation, helping new mothers restore pelvic floor strength, improve core stability, and return to their normal activities with confidence.
