Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation Locations

 

The pelvic floor is the group of muscles that span the bottom of the pelvis. This muscle group functions to support the organs of the pelvis and abdominal cavity, allows for the elimination of waste from the body and aids in sexual sensation and arousal.

Pelvic floor dysfunction occurs when the muscles of the pelvic floor or abdomen fail to work properly, resulting in pain or incontinence. It can affect both men and women, but is more common in women. In many cases, treatment of the pelvic floor and its dysfunction can occur across the lifespan. Associated symptoms may include:

  • Urinary frequency, urgency, hesitancy, or incontinence
  • Constipation or leakage of stool
  • Sexual dysfunction, including painful intercourse
  • Pain in the pelvic region, lower abdomen, low back, SI joint or coccyx
