What are some of the most common pelvic conditions treated in your clinic?
➡️Pregnancy and postpartum - Pregnancy can cause the muscles and connective tissue in the pelvic area to be injured or weakened. This can cause many different issues such as back and hip pain, urinary problems, and constipation. Pelvic floor rehabilitation helps reduce the pain that is being felt and strengthens any damaged muscles or tissues.
➡️Urinary incontinence - Abdominal weakness, prostate problems, childbirth, constipation, and other factors can cause incontinence in people. Urinary incontinence can happen to anyone. Bladder leakage can be embarrassing and uncomfortable to discuss, so working with a trained professional can be very beneficial.
➡️Gender affirmation surgery - During the transition process individuals often undergo procedures that may include hormone therapy and gender-affirming surgeries that aim to alter the individual's physical appearance to match their gender identity. Pelvic floor physical therapists play a unique and essential role in your care before, during and after surgery. Pelvic PTs are specialized in treating pelvic floor dysfunction as well as improving function, providing pain relief, treating bowel and bladder disorders, addressing sexual function, and so much more.
