Pelvic Physiotherapy
Welcome to Athletico Sports Physiotherapy in Kingston, where we offer pelvic floor physiotherapy to address pain, weakness, or dysfunction in the pelvic floor muscles. Pelvic floor physiotherapy is a highly effective and non-invasive treatment that aims to restore mobility, movement, and health in individuals experiencing pelvic floor issues.
Understanding Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy
Pelvic floor physiotherapy focuses on identifying and addressing trigger points in the pelvic floor muscles and tight connective tissue that may be causing pain or discomfort. Our experienced physiotherapists use a range of non-invasive methods to retrain pelvic floor muscles, helping to improve bladder, bowel, and sexual function, as well as reduce discomfort and pain.
During your pelvic floor therapy sessions, you’ll learn exercises to strengthen and stabilize your core, including major muscles like the abdominals, back, and diaphragm. Additionally, our therapists will identify tight muscles and show you how to stretch them to increase mobility and coordination. You’ll also learn relaxation techniques and postural exercises to help improve your symptoms
The Importance of Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy
The pelvic floor plays a crucial role in supporting the bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs in both men and women. Dysfunction in the pelvic floor muscles can lead to a variety of symptoms, including frequent urination, constipation, incontinence, pain during intercourse, and more. Pelvic floor physiotherapy can help address these symptoms and improve overall pelvic health.
Common Causes and Symptoms of Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
Pelvic floor dysfunction can be caused by a variety of factors, including childbirth, trauma, surgery, nerve damage, and more. Symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction can vary but may include frequent urination, constipation, incontinence, pain during bowel movements or intercourse, and lower back or pelvic pain.
What to Expect at Your First Session
At your first session of pelvic floor physiotherapy, your therapist will conduct a thorough assessment to determine the best treatment plan for you. This may include a review of your medical history, an evaluation of your symptoms, and a physical exam. Your therapist will work with you to identify contributing factors and develop a personalized treatment plan to address your specific needs and goals.
