Pelvic floor rehabilitation (pelvic floor physical therapy) aims to improve the function and strength of the muscles located at the base of the pelvis. These crucial muscles support the bladder, uterus, and rectum, while playing a key role in sexual function and bowel/bladder control.
Why it weakens: Conditions like pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, or surgery can weaken these muscles, leading to incontinence and pain. High-impact exercises and heavy weightlifting can also put severe stress on the pelvic floor.
A specialized physical therapist evaluates your unique symptoms to create a customized routine involving target muscle exercises, stretching, and coordination techniques.
Repetitive contracting and relaxing exercises are paired with biofeedback sensors to monitor real-time muscle activity and track your recovery journey accurately.
Advanced clinical methods like myofascial release and trigger point therapy help safely release deep muscle tightness, easing chronic alignment pain.
Pelvic floor rehab is not a one-time fix. It requires a dedicated commitment to a regular exercise routine that can be safely continued at home under your therapist's structured guidance to regain full control.
In most cases, this program acts as a highly effective, completely non-invasive alternative to surgery. If you exhibit signs of pelvic floor dysfunction, consult our physical therapy experts immediately.
