Pelvic pain and incontinence can affect every aspect of a person’s life, from their physical wellbeing to their emotional health.
Our compassionate therapists understand the challenges associated with pelvic conditions. They specialize in treating pelvic floor dysfunctions and have received specific training in pelvic floor anatomy and conditions.
Pelvic health therapists are ideal health professionals to treat pelvic muscle dysfunctions, as they have been trained to assess the musculoskeletal system and determine a treatment plan.
The pelvic floor is the muscles, ligaments, connective tissue and nerves that help support and control the rectum, uterus, vagina and bladder. The pelvic floor can be damaged by childbirth, repeated heavy lifting, chronic disease or surgery. When you are unable to control the muscles in your pelvic floor to have a bowel movement, it is called pelvic floor dysfunction.
An estimated 1 in 4 women will suffer from pelvic floor dysfunction at some point in their lives, and as women age, the likelihood of a pelvic floor disorder increases. The likelihood of developing a pelvic floor disorder is higher for women who are overweight or obese and for women who have given birth.
