Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy
Pelvic floor physiotherapy is a powerful treatment that can dramatically improve symptoms of urinary incontinence and other pelvic floor issues. Pelvic floor treatment targets the muscles, ligaments, and tissues in your pelvic region, helping to restore strength, function, and reduce pain. If you’re experiencing pelvic pain or other pelvic floor dysfunctions, Mex Physio can help guide you toward relief.
Causes of Urinary Incontinence and Pelvic Pain
Urinary incontinence, the unintentional leakage of urine, is a common issue among many, especially in the older population. However, it can occur throughout various stages of life. Although urinary incontinence is frequent, it’s important to understand that it is not a normal part of aging and should not be ignored.
There are several potential causes of pelvic floor issues, leading to urinary incontinence. These include:
- Stress on pelvic floor muscles during pregnancy
- Weakened pelvic floor muscles, especially postpartum
- Overactive or tight pelvic floor muscles
- Chronic pelvic pain syndrome that results from an underlying condition
- Damaged nerves in the pelvic floor area due to diseases like diabetes or Parkinson’s
- Pelvic organ prolapse or conditions related to the prostate in men
How Can Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy Help?
Pelvic floor physiotherapy can help strengthen and relax the muscles and tissues in the pelvic region, reducing the impact of pain and symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction. The goal of treatment is to restore proper muscle function, reduce pain, and help improve the stability of the pelvis.
Pelvic floor muscles are responsible for supporting the bladder, uterus, and rectum. When these muscles are weak or too tight, they can cause urinary incontinence and pain. A pelvic floor physiotherapist will assess your condition and design a tailored treatment plan.
