Pelvic floor therapy can help with many issues – some you may not even realize! So how do you know if physical therapy is right for you? Let’s look at the handy list below!
You could benefit from a pelvic floor therapy evaluation if you have:
✅Pain in the pelvis, lower abdomen, or perineum at rest or with activity
✅ Pain with intimacy, intercourse, using feminine products, or gynecological exams
✅ Pain in or injury to the lower back, hips, groin, tailbone, or sciatic region
✅ Pressure in the pelvic floor with or without activity
✅ Leaking of urine, fecal matter, or gas – whether consistently, occasionally, or rarely; a little or a lot; with sneezing, with coughing, with jumping, with running, or with no activity at all!
✅ Strong urges to pee or poop that may or may not result in leaking
✅ Feeling the need to strain while peeing or pooping, feeling constipated, or feeling unable to fully empty the bladder or bowels
✅ Weakness in the core musculature or wanting to gain strength through the core
✅ Diastasis recti or separation of the abdominal muscles frequently seen during pregnancy and postpartum
✅ Increased tension in the shoulders, abdominals, gluteals, jaw, or pelvic floor
✅ Ever been pregnant, are pregnant, or are postpartum (no matter how many years postpartum you are)
✅ A desire to understand your pelvic floor function and maintain your pelvic health for many years to come!
