Women’s Pelvic Health Physical Therapy at The Therapy Network
Understanding Women’s Pelvic Health
Women’s pelvic health physical therapy focuses on the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues of the pelvic floor. These muscles act like a hammock, supporting the bladder, uterus, rectum, and other vital organs. When the pelvic floor is too weak, too tight, or uncoordinated, it can lead to a wide range of symptoms that affect daily life and overall well-being.
Who Can Be Affected by Pelvic Floor Issues?
Pelvic floor dysfunction can impact women at any stage of life. Common causes include pregnancy and childbirth, aging, surgery, hormonal changes, or even high-impact exercise. Women experiencing pelvic floor challenges may notice:The Benefits of Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy
