Where to Get Pelvic Floor Therapy in Brooklyn and Why You Need It

Your pelvic floor may not be something you think about all that much, but maybe it should be. The pelvic floor muscles support the pelvic organs, assist in bowel and bladder control, and contribute to sexual arousal and orgasm … in other words, a whole bunch of pretty important things.

Pelvic Floor Dysfunction

Pelvic floor dysfunction affects nearly 1 in 4 women and can be brought on by childbirth or the aging process. So if you’re dealing with incontinence,
painful urination, problems with bowel movements, ongoing pelvic pain, or painful intercourse, you’ll definitely want to consider pelvic floor therapy.

Clinics like the Women’s Choice in Brooklyn offer pelvic floor therapy, which includes a wide scope of treatment options, which vary depending on a patient’s specific issue. Providers might offer education and information on pelvic anatomy in addition to teaching patients pelvic floor exercises like how to contract and relax pelvic in order to stretch tight muscles, strengthen weak ones, and improve overall flexibility.

Manual Therapy For Pelvic Floor

Manual therapy with a physical therapist is also an option, which involves the therapist providing hands-on massage and stretching. Then there are therapies centered around technologies like electrical stimulation, which uses a low-voltage electrical current, or vaginal dilators to help women learn to relax their pelvic muscles..

Whether you’re in Brooklyn or anywhere else, if you’re dealing with what you think might be a pelvic floor disorder (even that annoying peeing-when-you-sneeze thing) pay a visit to the
doctor. Pelvic floor therapy might just be the solution you never knew you needed.
