What can I expect from pelvic floor therapy?
One of our pelvic floor specialists at ProActive Physical Therapy & Sports Rehab will carefully review your medical history and perform a physical exam to identify the root cause of your pelvic pain. During the assessment, they will look for muscle tightness, weakness, or nerve involvement. In addition, we will assess your hip and spine joints to see if they are contributing to your condition.
Typical treatments for pelvic pain include:
Education
Our therapist will teach you how to identify and engage the muscles involved in your pelvic dysfunction, such as the pelvic floor, diaphragm, and deep abdominals. You will also learn about the importance of maintaining good posture and using proper body mechanics to reduce strain on the pelvic floor. Often, lifestyle modifications are essential in pelvic recovery, which include:
• Weight management
• Stress reduction
• Diet and hydration
• Sexual health
Breathing and relaxing techniques
Breathing and relaxation techniques can help patients reduce and ease muscle tension in the pelvic floor.
Specific stretches
Stretches of the pelvic floor muscles can help break tensions and reduce pain.
Manual therapy
Your therapist may practice manual therapy of the pelvic floor muscles, in which they apply gentle pressure with their hands. This may be soft tissue or therapeutic massage.
Electrical stimulation
This works by applying an electrical current to strengthen muscles, block pain signals, and facilitate blood circulation.
The goal of treatment at ProActive Physical Therapy & Sports Rehab in Sheldon is to help you return to the activities you were able to do before your pelvic pain started.
