Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on Pelvic Floor Therapy
Pelvic Floor Therapy can address a variety of conditions, including but not limited to pelvic pain, urinary and fecal incontinence, painful intercourse, pelvic organ prolapse, and pre and postpartum concerns.
Pelvic Floor Therapy is a specialized branch of physical therapy that focuses on the pelvic region while considering implications of the hips and low back. Therapists receive additional training to address the unique needs and sensitivities of the pelvic floor muscles and associated functions of the bowel and bladder.
A typical session involves an initial assessment to understand the individual's symptoms and medical history. Tests and measurements include hip and back range of motion and strength testing as well as assessment of the pelvic floor muscles. The therapist then develops a personalized treatment plan, which may include exercises, manual therapy, and education on lifestyle modifications.
The number of sessions varies based on the individual's condition and response to therapy. In general, a course of treatment may range from a 3-4 sessions to several months of bi-monthly sessions, depending on the severity and chronicity of symptoms
