PELVIC FLOOR
DYSFUNCTION
Pelvic floor dysfunction refers to a wide range
of issues that occur when muscles of the pelvic
floor are weak, tight, or there is an impairment
of the sacroiliac joint, lower back, coccyx, or
hip joints.
Dysfunction may lead to urinary or fecal
incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, or pain.
Physical Therapists specialize in the
evaluation and treatment of the nervous,
muscle, and skeletal systems that can be
beneficial in restoring function to the muscles
of the pelvic floor and surrounding structures.
Studies show that 78% of women with stress
urinary incontinence can improve their
symptoms through pelvic floor physical
therapy.
“Take care of your body, it is the only
place you have to live.”
