February Workshop

February 27, 2020 - Women's Health & Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation

Picture
The pelvic floor is a network of muscles, ligaments, and tissue, which together make up the floor of the pelvis or core. The pelvic floor has an integral role in core system function, working cohesively with the pelvis, low back, diaphragm, and abdomen. The pelvic floor has many functions including: stability and strength, breathing, posture, control of bowel and bladder, sexual, and support of pelvic organs.
​
Pelvic floor physiotherapy involves the assessment and treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction.  Assessment is detailed and includes the following areas of: lifestyle, 
​neurological function, mobility and strength, joint biomechanics, movement strategies, and breathing. Many pelvic floor related issues are due to weak or overly tense pelvic floor muscles, core system imbalance, or regional compensations. 
 
Who would benefit from Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy? If you identify with or experience any of the following, you will benefit from pelvic floor physiotherapy:
  • Individuals of any level of physical activity or exercise training: Safety clearance, exercise modification and progression with core considerations
  • Muscle weakness: pelvic floor, hip or abdominal muscle strength; diastasis recti (Separation of abdominal muscles)
  • Incontinence: 1 in 3 women leak urine when they don’t want to, or when they cough, sneeze, laugh, lift, or exercise; some experience a sense of urgency to urinate
  • Nocturia (waking multiple times a night to urinate)
  • Vaginal Prolapse: Pelvic floor muscles and tissue are weak, damaged, or stretched resulting in pelvic organs to come down
  • Pregnancy or childbirth: Prevention is key! Pregnancy and childbirth put extra pressure strain on the core and pelvic floor, which can be minimized with correct pelvic floor system function
  • Pain in the back, pelvis, hips, knees, feet
