Signs You Might Need Pelvic Floor Therapy
Issues with the pelvic floor affect thousands of women across the UK. However, many don’t realise their symptoms can be a sign of something that is treatable. If you’re wondering if you need pelvic floor therapy, this blog will help identify common indicators this type of treatment could be a wise choice.
Based in Greenwich, London, PelviCare specialise in helping women at all stages of life regain control, strength and confidence through expert physiotherapy, including exercises that enhance their pelvic health.
Common Signs You May Benefit from Pelvic Floor Therapy
Pelvic floor therapy isn’t just for mums in the postpartum period; it can help women of all ages experiencing a variety of symptoms, including:
1. Urinary Incontinence
Leaking when you laugh, sneeze or exercise is not just ‘part of ageing’ or something you must live with after childbirth. Pelvic floor therapy strengthens the muscles that support the bladder, helping to reduce or eliminate incontinence.
2. Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Are you experiencing a heaviness, pressure or a sensation of ‘something falling down” in your pelvic area? This might be a sign of prolapse. This often occurs when pelvic floor muscles weaken: something therapy can address effectively without surgery in many cases.
3. Pelvic Pain or Discomfort
Chronic pelvic pain during everyday activities, intimacy with your partner, or even while sitting can originate from overactive or tense pelvic floor muscles. Our expert can tailor a treatment plan that reflects your lifestyle and challenges.
After childbirth, whether vaginal or caesarean, your body undergoes significant changes. Therapy helps address abdominal separation, perineal pain, and muscle weakness to support your recovery and long-term wellbeing.
5. Changes Due to the Menopause
Hormonal shifts can impact your muscle tone and tissue health, sometimes leading to discomfort, dryness or urinary issues. Pelvic floor therapy can help ease these symptoms and keep you healthy during perimenopause and beyond.
