What Is A Pelvic Floor?

Muscles, tendons, and ligaments make up your pelvic floor that help:

• Support your pelvic organs against gravity
• Stabilize your core due to their muscular attachments to your hips and pelvis
• Sexually achieve penetration and orgasm
• Sphincterically, they allow for muscle contraction to avoid urinary leakage and also
  relax to allow for a bowel movement
  
• Sump-pump , functions help to avoid swelling and pelvic congestion due to their close
  approximation with the pelvic lymph nodes

How Can Pelvic Physical Therapy Help?

Your pelvic floor physical therapist will do an extensive history and physical examination, asking
you your limitations, goals, and medical history. In addition, they will investigate the strength of
your pelvic floor and surrounding musculature, range of motion, scar tissue, and a host of
other factors to create a shared plan of care.

Treatment can consist of soft tissue massage, education , myofascial release, strengthening
exercises, stretching/relaxation exercises, biofeedback , and electrical stimulation . Our trained
