How are pelvic floor dysfunctions treated?
There can be many causes of pelvic floor dysfunction, and it is often misunderstood and misdiagnosed. Your pelvic floor physical therapist will conduct a thorough evaluation and examination to better understand your
condition and how it affects your day-to-day life. Together we will determine your goals for therapy and work towards them with a combination of hands-on (manual) treatment, education, behavioral modification, and therapeutic exercises – all of which are specifically tailored to your needs and your condition. If necessary, we may recommend other specialists or speak to your other doctors to make sure that we are providing the best possible treatment for you.
Through pelvic floor physical therapy, we can improve your pelvic floor function and ultimately, your overall quality of life. At all times, we are committed to making sure that you are comfortable, understand your treatment, and are working towards your therapeutic goals.
