This is less meant to be fear mongering, and more to pose the point that pelvic floor dysfunction is so prevalent, and people do not always realize it. There are the obvious signs and symptoms like leaking when you sneeze, or pain with seggs. But then there are the less obvious signs like mystery persistent hip pain, tailbone pain with sitting, or feeling like you can't get your entire poo out. When I go to my advanced pelvic floor classes (where we practice on each other), it is rare when someone doesn't walk away with something to work on. As pelvic floor therapists!
The beautiful web of muscles down there have so many implications to the rest of the body. And even though they can cause all kinds of trouble, they are treatable!
Do you think you have pelvic floor dysfunction? Or perhaps a lingering low back, hip, or abdominal pain?
