PELVIC FLOOR PHYSICAL THERAPY

At KOH PT Lab, we specialize in pelvic floor physical therapy that targets pelvic and abdominal health. Our primary focus is on the pelvic floor muscles which are essential for proper blood flow to connective and muscle tissue, thus increasing your overall mobility. The aim of our pelvic floor physical therapy treatments is to restore a higher level of movement quality as well as alleviate any pain or discomfort caused by trigger points or tight connective tissues. We take great pride in being able to offer you trustworthy services that help enhance your wellbeing.

At the core of your torso lies an intricate group of muscles known as your pelvic floor. A common condition called Pelvic Floor Dysfunction can occur when you improperly relax and coordinate these muscles for either urination or defecation. Furthermore, women may experience pain during intercourse while men could suffer from erectile dysfunctions (ED).

The pelvic floor muscles are the foundation for important organs within your body, such as the bladder, uterus or prostate, and rectum. The pelvic floor provide stability to these vital parts by wrapping around your pelvic bone. Additionally, some of them create a sling-like shape that offers more reinforcement around the rectum area. Physical therapy strengthens your pelvic floor muscles to ensure these essential body parts are supported so they can function more effectively.

Four of the most common pelvic floor disorders that can affect individuals include: Pelvic Organ Prolapse, Urinary Incontinence, Fecal Incontinence and Pain.

Stress, bacteria or inflammation can cause the pelvic floor muscles to tense up defensively in order to protect against a potential threat. This same reaction can be triggered by long periods of sitting or direct trauma such as an accident involving a bicycle. Unfortunately, in some instances, the pelvic floor muscles remain rigid and tight for extended lengths of time which results in discomfort or pain from overly stiffened muscles.
