What exactly is pelvic health physical therapy? If I come to a pelvic health PT visit, what exactly are they going to do?
Like any issue or injury, our specially trained physical therapists will listen to your symptoms and goals, then evaluate your strength, motor control and mobility related to your pelvis, then create an individualized treatment plan just for you. That plan may include any of the following:
1. (Picture 1) We believe that education is key, and understanding your pelvic floor anatomy, how your pelvic muscles and joints work and where your symptoms might be coming from helps you feel in control of your own body.
2. (Picture 2) Your treatment will most likely include some muscle retraining, working on strength, motor control (the ability to use certain muscles at certain times) and relaxing muscles that need to be turned off.
3. (Picture 3) Our highly trained physical therapists may also provide some hands on treatment to help release restrictions and restore necessary mobility for your body to function properly.
There are so many ways pelvic health physical therapy can improve your life (more on that in an upcoming post!), so if you have been thinking about seeing a pelvic health PT, now is the time! We have one therapist in each of our 2 locations who are highly trained in pelvic health therapy.
