Pelvic Floor Dysfunction – Can Physical Therapy Help?

Pelvic Floor Dysfunction – Can Physical Therapy Help?

To realize the importance of PELVIC FLOOR PHYSICAL THERAPY, we first have to understand what is pelvic floor dysfunction, what are their symptoms, what causes this problem, how it is diagnosed and finally how PELVIC FLOOR PHYSICAL THERAPY can help to get rid of this.

According to surveys, PELVIC FLOOR dysfunction is problem for millions of Americans. Statistics say that 1 out of every 5 Americans of every age suffer from this disease in any part of their life. Over 25 million Americans suffer from urinary incontinence alone or involuntary loss of urine. It is not just a “women’s” disorder; men and children can have pelvic floor dysfunction as well.

The pelvic floor includes the muscles, ligaments and connective tissue in the lowest part of the pelvis. It supports your organs, including the bowel, bladder, (uterus and vagina in women; prostate, penis and testes in men), and rectum. The pelvic floor prevents these organs from falling down or out of your body. It also helps the organs function properly. Pelvic floor dysfunction is an umbrella term for a variety of disorders that occur when pelvic floor muscles and ligaments are impaired. Your brain controls the muscles of the pelvic floor by way of nerves.

Although the exact causes of PELVIC FLOOR disorder are still being researched, physicians can link these disorders to conditions that weaken the pelvic muscles or tear connective tissues.
