Why might pelvic floor physical therapy be necessary?  

Physical therapy for the pelvic health physical therapy NYC alleviates discomfort, weakness, and muscle dysfunction. When these muscles are in good working order, blood can flow to the connective and muscle tissue, which helps to increase mobility. Physical therapy for the pelvic floor aims to improve function, mobility, and range of motion. We will try to locate any tight connective tissues or muscle trigger points that may be the source of any pain or discomfort. Your symptoms will determine the precise therapy strategy we suggest for your requirements. While other symptoms call for strengthening those muscles, other symptoms can be alleviated by relaxing and lengthening the pelvic floor muscles.

The symptoms listed below are potential indicators of pelvic floor dysfunction. Be sure to share any of these symptoms you may be experiencing with your doctor.

  • Needing to use the restroom frequently
  • Constipation (also known as a painful bowel movement)
  • Urine or stool leaks (incontinence)
  • Uncomfortable or frequent urination
  • Lower back discomfort with no apparent cause
  • Experiencing persistent pain in your rectum, genitalia, or pelvis. With or without a bowel movement, pain can happen.

Pelvic health physical therapy for both men and women consists of specialized training in internal and external management of the pelvic floor to carry out a successful evaluation and treatment plan.
