Pelvic floor therapy is a specialized form of physical therapy focused on the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues that support the pelvic organs, including the bladder, uterus, and bowel. These muscles are vital for bladder and bowel control, core stability, sexual health, and overall quality of life.
Pelvic floor dysfunction can lead to a range of issues such as incontinence, pelvic pain, pelvic organ prolapse, and discomfort during daily activities or intimacy. Pelvic floor therapy helps restore balance, strength, and coordination to these muscles, improving function and reducing symptoms.
