Pelvic floor dysfunction is a common condition that affects many people, particularly women who have given birth. It can cause a variety of symptoms, including incontinence, pelvic pain, and pain during sex. Pelvic floor therapy is a specialized type of physical therapy that can help to alleviate these symptoms and improve your quality of life.

What is Pelvic Floor Therapy?

Pelvic floor therapy is a type of physical therapy that focuses on the muscles, tissues, and organs that support the bladder, uterus, and rectum. These muscles are known as the pelvic floor muscles. When these muscles are weak or damaged, it can lead to a variety of symptoms.

Pelvic floor therapy can help to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and improve their function. This can help to alleviate symptoms such as incontinence, pelvic pain, and pain during sex. Pelvic floor therapy can also help to prevent pelvic organ prolapse, a condition in which the bladder, uterus, or rectum sags into the vagina.
