How Physical Therapy Improves Pelvic Health
Millions of people suffer from pelvic floor dysfunction which can lead to urinary and/or bowel incontinence and pelvic pain. Pregnancy, childbirth, chronic constipation, chronic coughing, surgery, trauma, and aging can cause pelvic floor muscle tension, incoordination, and weakness. Re-form is proud to offer pelvic floor physical therapy using customized treatment programs in a private and comfortable environment.
The Importance of the Pelvic Floor
The pelvic floor is a set of muscles that support bladder and bowel function, stabilize posture in functional activity, and are integral to sexual activity. Located at the bottom of the pelvis, these muscles interact directly with the hip, low back, and abdominal muscles. Despite their significance, this muscle group is often overlooked, but it plays a huge role in quality of life.
