Pelvic Floor Therapy at Norman Regional: Restore Comfort and Confidence
Pelvic floor therapy is a specialized treatment offered at Norman Regional Health System to help individuals manage and overcome pelvic floor dysfunction. Whether you're dealing with urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, or other related issues, pelvic floor therapy is designed to strengthen and restore the muscles that support the pelvic organs, improving both function and quality of life.
What is Pelvic Floor Therapy?
Pelvic floor therapy focuses on the muscles, ligaments, and tissues that form the pelvic floor. These muscles play a critical role in bladder and bowel control, sexual function, and overall pelvic health. Pelvic floor dysfunction occurs when these muscles are weakened, tense, or imbalanced, leading to a variety of symptoms like incontinence, pelvic pain, or organ prolapse.
Through a combination of techniques such as targeted exercises, manual therapy, and education, pelvic floor therapy helps patients regain strength and coordination in these muscles, reducing discomfort and improving pelvic function.
How Pelvic Floor Therapy Works
Pelvic floor therapy typically begins with a thorough evaluation by a specialized physical therapist who will assess your specific symptoms and concerns. Based on this evaluation, your therapist will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Therapy may include:
- Pelvic muscle exercises to strengthen or relax the pelvic floor muscles
- Biofeedback to help you understand and control pelvic muscle contractions
- Manual therapy to release tension in the pelvic floor and surrounding muscles
- Education on posture, breathing techniques, and lifestyle adjustments to support pelvic health
Over time, pelvic floor therapy helps to restore balance and function in the pelvic muscles, improving symptoms such as urinary incontinence, pelvic pressure, or pain during sex.
Who Can Benefit from Pelvic Floor Therapy?
Pelvic floor therapy is beneficial for a wide range of individuals, including those experiencing:
- Urinary incontinence (leaking urine when sneezing, coughing, or exercising)
- Pelvic pain (pain during or after intercourse, or pelvic heaviness)
- Constipation or difficulty with bowel movements
- Prolapse of pelvic organs
- Prenatal or postnatal care, particularly for women recovering from childbirth
Men and women alike can benefit from pelvic floor therapy, whether you're recovering from surgery, experiencing pregnancy-related changes, or managing chronic pelvic discomfort.
