Millions of Americans suffer from pelvic floor dysfunction. Yet for most, the disease goes unidentified and untreated. Statistics say that 1 out of every 5 Americans (of every age) suffer from some type of pelvic floor dysfunction at some time in their life. Over 25 million Americans suffer from urinary incontinence or involuntary loss of urine. And it is not just a women’s disorder; men and children can have pelvic floor dysfunction as well. Pelvic Floor Dysfunction refers to a wide range of problems that occur when the muscles of the pelvic floor are weak or tight; or there is an impairment of the sacroiliac joint (SI), low back, coccyx, or hip joint.
Pelvic Floor Treatment will include a 1-on-1, private initial evaluation with a pelvic health physical or occupational therapist. There is no gender or age bias. Treatment may include external and internal manual therapy including myofascial release and trigger point release, visceral manipulation, and connective tissue manipulation. Self-care techniques and a comprehensive home exercise programs are essential components to long-term success.
