Pelvic floor therapy

Pelvic Floor Therapy for Women (PCT) is an outpatient treatment modality, which includes the use of pelvic floor manipulations in women who are at risk to have a severe recurrent tear or painful rupture during their first visit with medical professionals. PCA provides comfort and relief from pain while relieving anxiety caused by persistent constipation.[41] The purpose behind this therapy type remains unknown because there are no long-term follow up studies conducted on men using it as compared against control groups such as traditional abdominal physiotherapy [32]. However two meta analyses show that when comparing surgical interventions versus passive manipulation only postoperative depression decreased significantly after 8 weeks: 10% relative difference between patient visit

Urinary, bowel, and sexual problems are common in women. Women with these problems frequently have weak or underactive pelvic floor muscles. This is due to a number of factors, including childbirth, obesity, age and certain medical conditions. In some cases, surgery to repair these issues is necessary. Pelvic floor therapy is a non-surgical treatment that strengthens the pelvic floor muscles. Using special equipment and exercises, women learn to strengthen their pelvic floor muscles and improve their symptoms.

The Pelvic Floor (also known as the perineum or pubococcygeus muscle) is made up of all the muscles that connect the abdominal organs to the base of the spine. It acts as a support system for women’s reproductive organs, bladder, intestines and back during activities such as walking, sitting and sex. The Pelvic Floor is essential to urination, bowel movements, sexual function and pelvic pain treatment. Many women with urinary or fecal incontinence have weak or underactive Pelvic Floor muscles. Women with constipation also commonly have weak or underactive Pelvic Floor muscles due to childbirth causing them to strain during bowel movements. A woman with weak Pelvic Floor muscles may leak during sporting activities such as horseback riding or dancing because she loses control over her bowel movements or has unpredictable urges to pass stool. When she has a bowel movement, stool may leak from her anus instead of moving normally into her bladder or bowels. Weak Pelvic Floor muscles can cause urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence and sexual dysfunction by affecting continence and sensation of the genital area. A good workout program and lifestyle changes can repair pelvic floor muscle strength and promote health by decreasing gastrointestinal disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). IBS causes frequent constipation which weakens your Pelvic Floor muscle even more since it’s used for straining during bowel movements. IBS can also cause you to hold your breath while you go to avoid further straining which makes it harder for you to breathe while you’re having a bowel movement. This causes excess pressure in your abdomen which leads to pain in your abdomen when you strain during your next bowel movement causing you to lose control over when you go or stool becomes lodged in your throat causing choking sensations until you pass it out This can lead to constant throat clearing which irritates friends who are around you at social events

Stronger Pelvic Floor muscles help women avoid incontinence, straining during their daily activities and painful sex caused by sensation impairment in their genital area. By strengthening these muscles through exercise programs and modifying GI disorders via IBS treatments, many women can live a healthy life free from these symptoms!
