Houston Physicians’ Hospital is excited to announce the expansion of our services to include pelvic floor therapy. We understand that pelvic health is an essential component of overall well-being and we’re committed to providing comprehensive care for individuals experiencing pelvic floor dysfunction.
What Is Pelvic Floor Therapy?
Pelvic floor therapy is a specialized form of physical therapy that focuses on the muscles, nerves, and connective tissues of the pelvic floor. These muscles play a vital role in supporting the pelvic organs, including the bladder, bowel, and uterus. When these muscles become weakened, overly tight, or uncoordinated, it can lead to a range of issues:
- Urinary Incontinence (Bladder Leakage)
- Fecal Incontinence (Bowel Leakage)
- Pelvic Organ Prolapse
- Pelvic Pain
- Painful Intercourse
- Constipation
- Tailbone Pain
Our Approach to Pelvic Floor Therapy
At Houston Physicians’ Hospital, we believe in a personalized and compassionate approach to pelvic floor therapy. Our team of experienced therapists will work closely with you to develop a customized treatment plan that addresses your unique needs and goals.
This plan may include a combination of the following:
- Manual Therapy:Skilled hands-on techniques to gently release muscle tension, improve mobility, and reduce pain.
- Therapeutic Exercises:Targeted exercises to strengthen and coordinate the pelvic floor muscles for better control and support.
- Biofeedback:This innovative technology provides real-time feedback on your muscle activity, helping you become more aware of your pelvic floor and learn to control it effectively.
- Education and Lifestyle Modifications:Our team will equip you with knowledge about your pelvic health and provide guidance on lifestyle adjustments that can support your healing and long-term well-being.
