How Physical Therapy Supports Pelvic Health
At Grasmere Physical Therapy in Staten Island, NY, our physical therapists start with a comprehensive evaluation to determine the cause of your symptoms and any contributing components to your condition. Pelvic floor rehabilitation and other treatment techniques have been shown to be successful in resolving many conditions contributing to pelvic pain.
The following are some of the most common pelvic conditions treated by physical therapy:
Postpartum pelvic pain
Pain is frequently felt in the sacroiliac (SI) joint, tailbone, hips, and lower back. Some people have pain in their pelvis on the pubic symphysis.
It is common for new mothers to experience strained or torn muscles and connective tissue in their pelvic floor region after giving birth. During and after childbirth, pelvic floor muscle tension or pain in the area between your vagina and rectum (i.e., perineum) is common.
Pelvic floor rehabilitation can help you regain normal, pain-free function by reducing pain and strengthening any tense or damaged muscles.
Urinary Incontinence
Leaking urine while coughing, laughing, or sneezing is common during pregnancy, worsening in the third trimester and continuing after delivery.
There are numerous treatment options available to help strengthen the pelvic floor muscles before and after childbirth. Incontinence can be treated and eliminated with education on resolving and managing symptoms, as well as pelvic floor rehabilitation focusing on strengthening the muscles under your bladder.
Pain following abdominal surgery
If you are recovering from a recent surgical procedure, such as abdominal, reproductive, or orthopedic surgery, you may experience pain in the pelvic region (i.e., spine or hip joint).
Fortunately, our highly skilled physical therapists can determine the source of your pain and any factors that are contributing to your condition, allowing you to find relief.
Manual therapy techniques effectively relieve muscle tension while also releasing adhesions and increasing blood flow to aid in the healing process. Stretching and strengthening exercises can help improve overall pelvic mobility and function.
While these are just a few of the most common pelvic dysfunction conditions that our physical therapist can treat, there are several other pelvic conditions that pelvic floor rehabilitation can treat, including:
• Painful intercourse
• Pelvic organ prolapse
• Difficulty/painful urination (i.e. dyspareunia)
• Abdominal muscles tearing (i.e., diastasis recti)
Our Grasmere Physical Therapy physical therapist will get to the bottom of your issue and, more importantly, will help guide you through the solutions you need to feel better again!
