Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
Pelvic floor dysfunction is inability of pelvic floor muscle to function on specific demands. Our pelvic floor muscles function to support our pelvic organs and help them remain in place, help with the processes of storage and elimination of waste products on demand, have satisfactory sexual intercourse experience and provide lumbo-pelvic region stability.
When any of the above functions are hampered, in most cases, incoordination of the pelvic floor muscles is the cause. Reasons for incoordination could be weakness, pain, tightness or increased tone in those muscles.
At Lotus Physical Therapy and Wellness, we do thorough evaluation to diagnose the type of incoordination and dysfunction, create new muscle memory and develop a strong foundation to enable functions on demand.
Pregnancy
It is the most dynamic phase for a woman’s body. This 9-month period is different for each woman and each pregnancy. Feeling of heaviness or pain in the pelvic region, sacroiliac joint or pubic symphysis dysfunction, incontinence, and lower back pain can be effectively treated through physical therapy.
We use different techniques to improve tissue mobility such as, muscle energy techniques to improve joint mobility and symmetry, soft tissue release to improve muscle tone and flexibility and exercise to activate muscles.
Patient education includes appropriate ergonomic maneuvers to limit musculoskeletal stresses and improve coordination and balance during the pregnancy. We also provide special education on conducive labor positions for patients with certain other conditions.
Men's Health
Did you know that men have pelvic floor muscles too?
Men also suffer from similar types of issues as women like incontinence, urges and pain in the pelvic region. In addition to these conditions, you may also suffer from Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS), chronic nonbacterial Prostatitis (CP), erectile dysfunction or painful ejaculation.
These issues need a multimodal approach and pelvic floor physical therapy can alleviate these symptoms through improved muscle strength, coordination and trigger point release, and flexibility of the nerves, fascia and other connective tissues.
Postpartum
Self-postpartum care is pivotal for your physical and mental health and is key to enable continued uninhibited lifestyle. This starts with taking care of minor aches and pains and attending to any major issues that limit you from performing daily functions post-delivery.
To achieve your personal goals, we at Lotus Physical Therapy and Wellness, perform thorough evaluations, assessments and examinations from an ortho-pelvic perspective and create individualized plans of care. Physical therapy is a great resource for postpartum incontinence, increased urinary frequency and urgency, pelvic pain, lower back/mid back/neck pain, painful intercourse or diastasis recti types of conditions.
