If you are dealing with incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse, clinical evidence has shown that pelvic floor physical therapy can help!
.
One of the contributing factors for urinary incontinence and prolapse is a weakening of the pelvic floor.
.
Pelvic floor physical therapists use a variety of methods to help you correct pelvic floor dysfunction. Utilizing specialized exercises and modalities can strengthen and increase coordination of the pelvic floor muscles.
.
Bladder retraining assists by helping you regain regular urinary cycles.
.
If you are dealing with complications as a result of vaginal mesh surgery (such as pain, scar tissue and painful intercourse), pelvic floor physical therapists can help with that too!
.
If you have any questions about pelvic floor physical therapy and how it may help you, send us a message!
