Pelvic discomfort doesn’t have to be a silent struggle or a permanent setback. There’s a way forward that brings relief and empowerment, allowing you to reclaim your life. Pelvic rehabilitation can help you regain comfort and control over your body.
What is Pelvic Rehabilitation?
Pelvic rehabilitation is a specialized approach designed to strengthen and heal your pelvic floor muscles, the group of muscles that support your pelvic organs, including the bladder and uterus.
Healthy pelvic muscles are essential for waste removal from the body, sexual function, and the stability and alignment of the pelvic region. When these muscles become weakened or damaged—due to various factors such as childbirth, surgery, or even aging—they can lead to a range of discomforts and challenges that can severely affect your daily life comfort and confidence.
Pelvic rehabilitation uses various techniques, such as physical exercises, biofeedback, and manual therapy. The aim is to rebuild strength, flexibility, and coordination in the pelvic floor. This can help you return to your everyday activities without pain, anxiety, or fear of discomfort. It gives you back control over your body.
Knowing that you have options and support to move past such intimate discomfort can help you ensure that the struggles you’re facing with your physical body don’t manifest into mental health struggles, too.
Common Issues Addressed With Pelvic Rehabilitation
Pelvic rehab can help with several bodily challenges you may be facing. Each condition is unique in its impact on daily living and emotional wellbeing. Depending on the reason for your discomfort, we will help with a tailored pelvic rehabilitation strategy. Here are some of the common pelvic issues we often treat:
Urinary Incontinence
Involuntary leakage of urine from urinary incontinence can be both distressing and inconvenient. It can really wreak havoc on your mental health. Pelvic rehab strengthens the pelvic floor muscles, improving bladder control.
Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Pelvic Organ Prolapse is when your muscles and tissues around your pelvis become weak or loose. It can cause your organs to move from their regular place. Pelvic rehabilitation can be a great option to help shift these organs back to their proper position.
Chronic Pelvic Pain
Unlike acute pain, chronic pelvic pain sticks with you day in, and day out. It often interferes significantly with your day to day life, which impacts your mental health and sociability. 1 in 7 women in the United States suffers from chronic pelvic pain, making it relatively (and unfortunately) common. Rehab techniques focus on relieving pain through strengthening and relaxation exercises.
Sexual Dysfunction
Female Sexual Dysfunction often stems from discomfort or pain during intimacy. Pelvic rehabilitation targets these issues, enhancing comfort, pleasure and function. The result is a revitalized sexual life, improved relationships, and emotional wellbeing.
Postpartum Recovery
After childbirth, the body needs time and care to recover. Pelvic rehabilitation can help with postpartum recovery by healing and strengthening the area. This helps new mothers return to their pre-pregnancy activities.
If you’re silently trying to navigate one of these common pelvic issues, pelvic rehab with us is a compassionate practice that has helped so many women before you. You don’t have to suffer through, or try to hide your discomfort. Our female-based team can relate and empathize with what you’re going through.
