Pelvic Health: How Physiotherapy Can Help You Regain Control and Comfort
Pelvic health is a crucial, yet often misunderstood and stigmatized area of overall wellness. Many individuals silently suffer from pelvic discomfort or dysfunction, under the misconception that it is an embarrassing or untreatable condition. However, the truth is that through strategies such as physiotherapy, you can regain comfort, control, and confidence. At Delta Physiotherapy & Rehab, we are committed to providing specialized and compassionate care to help you navigate and overcome pelvic health challenges.
Understanding Pelvic Health
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that sit like a bowl in the pelvis, supporting your internal organs such as the bladder, rectum, and in women, the uterus. These muscles are integral in maintaining urinary and bowel control, sexual function, and overall core stability. When these muscles are not functioning optimally, it can lead to issues such as incontinence, pelvic pain, and sexual dysfunction.
Unfortunately, pelvic floor dysfunction can affect anyone, regardless of age or gender. It can occur due to a variety of reasons, including pregnancy, childbirth, surgery, aging, straining from constipation, or chronic coughing.
The Role of Physiotherapy in Pelvic Health
Pelvic physiotherapy is a specialized form of physiotherapy that directly treats the muscles of the pelvic floor. It involves internal and external hands-on techniques to evaluate and treat pelvic floor muscle functioning and its surrounding areas. It's a pain-free, non-surgical, and drug-free approach to addressing and correcting pelvic health issues.
Pelvic physiotherapy can address a wide array of issues, some of which include:
- Urinary or fecal incontinence
- Urinary urgency and frequency
- Pelvic organ prolapse
- Chronic pelvic pain
- Dyspareunia (painful intercourse)
- Pre and postnatal pelvic issues
- Post-surgical rehabilitation (e.g., hysterectomy, prostatectomy)
