When we think of physiotherapy, we usually think of getting better after a sports injury or dealing with back pain. Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy is one of the most important but least-discussed parts of rehabilitation. We at Shoppers World Physiotherapy want to break the stigma and create a welcoming space for both men and women to take charge of their pelvic health again.
What is therapy for the pelvic floor?
The pelvic floor is a strong group of muscles that sit at the bottom of your pelvis like a “hammock.” These muscles help your bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs. When these muscles are too tight (hypertonic) or too weak (hypotonic), it can lead to a range of physical problems that make your daily life less enjoyable.
Pelvic Floor Therapy is a type of physiotherapy that focuses on assessing and treating this group of muscles to ensure they are functioning properly.
Pelvic Therapy for Women: Help at Every Stage
A lot of women think that pelvic health problems are just a “normal” part of getting older or being a mother. We’re here to tell you that this doesn’t have to be your “new normal.” Our Female Pelvic Therapy services in Brampton deal with:
Pre- and postnatal care: preparing the pelvic floor for birth and repairing it after birth (for example, treating Diastasis Recti).
- Incontinence: Dealing with bladder leaks when you sneeze, cough, or work out.
- Pelvic Organ Prolapse: Dealing with the feeling of pressure or heaviness in the pelvic area.
- Pelvic Pain: Dealing with conditions like dyspareunia (painful sex) or chronic pelvic pain syndrome.
Pelvic Therapy for Men: Important Health Solutions
Men also have pelvic floors, and they can also stop working properly. At our clinic, Male Pelvic Therapy is a very effective way to treat:
After prostate surgery, you need to get your bladder and pelvic muscles back in shape.
- Chronic Prostatitis: Dealing with pelvic pain that people often think is a recurring infection.
- Bowel Dysfunction: Dealing with fecal incontinence or constipation.
- Erectile Dysfunction: Better blood flow and muscle coordination can help with sexual health.
