When we think of physical therapy, we usually think of improving after a sports injury or managing back pain. One of the most important parts of physical health, the pelvic floor, is also one of the parts that people are most afraid to talk about.
We at Sandalwood Physio think that your pelvic health is very important to your overall health. Our dedicated Pelvic Floor Therapy is meant to help you get your life back on track and feel better, whether you’re dealing with the changes that come with being a parent, recovering from surgery, or dealing with chronic pain.
What is therapy for the pelvic floor?
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues that form a “hammock” at the bottom of your pelvis. These muscles help keep your bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs in place.
When these muscles get too weak or too tight (hypertonic), they can cause many problems that make it hard to live your life. Pelvic Floor Therapy is a type of physiotherapy that focuses on helping these muscles heal through specific exercises, education, and hands-on techniques.
Signs that you might need help with your pelvic health
Pelvic floor dysfunction is very common, but a lot of people don’t talk about it. You might want to see a doctor if you have any of the following:
- Incontinence is the leakage of urine when you cough, sneeze, laugh, or work out.
- Pelvic Pain: Persistent discomfort in the pelvic area, hips, or lower back.
- Postpartum Recovery: Dealing with core weakness or “mummy tummy” (diastasis recti) after having a baby.
- Urgency: A strong or sudden need to go to the bathroom that you can’t control.
- Discomfort During Activity: Pain during sex or other physical activity.
Our Focus on the Patient
We know that asking for help with pelvic problems can be very personal. That’s why we put privacy, comfort, and kindness first at Sandalwood Physio.
- Comprehensive Assessment: We start with a private, one-on-one meeting to learn about your symptoms, medical history, and goals.
- Personalized Treatment Plans: Everybody is different. Your therapist will make a plan that might include breathing exercises, muscle-coordination exercises, and lifestyle changes.
- Education gives you the power: We show you how to properly engage your core and pelvic muscles, which gives you the tools to stay healthy long after your sessions are over.
