Who can benefit from Pelvic Floor Therapy?
Women and men of all ages who experience:
What are pelvic-related issues typical for men?
Two main symptoms that send men to pelvic floor physical therapy are incontinence and pelvic pain. Incontinence typically stems from problems with a man’s prostate gland. Enlarged prostate (a common condition as men age) can pinch the urethra which causes the bladder to work harder to push urine out. This leads to the overavtice muscles that thicken in the bladder.
Another common pelvic-related issue for men is chronic pelvic pain which can come from the bladder, rectum, or prostate. This can happen to men of any age. Pain tends to make muscles tighten up (similar to cramping) and this becomes an uncomfortable cycle; pain leads to muscle tension which causes more pain.
What are pelvic-related issues typical for women?
There are twenty-eight pelvic floor muscles, many of which form a “bowl” at the base of the pelvis. These muscles are involved in supporting our posture, bowel, bladder, and sexual function. Common issues related to the pelvic floor include; urinary frequency or urgency, stress urinary incontinence (leaking when you cough or sneeze), constipation, pain with bowel movements, back pain, pain with intercourse, or postpartum pain.
Many women with pelvic floor pain also have endometriosis, painful bladder syndrome, pain with intercourse, painful periods, or irritable bowel syndrome.
