At Integral Health Group, we understand the sensitive and vital role of the pelvic floor in your overall well-being. Your quality of life may be significantly impacted by pelvic floor dysfunction, which can lead to pain, discomfort, and restrictions on daily activities. That’s why we offer specialized pelvic floor therapy services to help individuals in Mississauga and surrounding areas regain control, alleviate symptoms, and improve their pelvic health.
What is Pelvic Floor Therapy?
A specialty area of physical therapy called pelvic floor therapy is concerned with assessing and treating dysfunctions within the pelvic floor muscles and surrounding structures. These dysfunctions can manifest as a variety of symptoms, including:
- Urinary incontinence
- Pelvic pain
- Bowel dysfunction
- Pain during intercourse
- Pelvic organ prolapse
- Postpartum issues
Our pelvic floor therapists are trained to address these issues with a combination of manual therapy techniques, exercise prescription, education, and lifestyle modifications.
Comprehensive Assessment
Your journey to pelvic health begins with a comprehensive assessment by one of our experienced pelvic floor therapists. In our first meeting, we will learn about your symptoms, medical history, and personal goals. We may perform various assessments, including internal and external pelvic floor examinations, to identify areas of dysfunction and develop an individualized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Evidence-Based Treatments
Our pelvic floor therapy treatments are based on the latest evidence-based practices and techniques. Your treatment plan may consist of the following, based on your individual needs:
- Manual therapy methods for improving and releasing tense muscle tissue mobility
- Pelvic floor exercises to strengthen weak muscles and improve coordination
- Biofeedback therapy to enhance awareness and control of pelvic floor muscles
- Education on bladder and bowel habits, posture, and lifestyle modifications to support pelvic health
When it comes to pelvic floor therapy, we take a comprehensive approach, treating not just the physical aspects of dysfunction but also any potential psychological or emotional effects on your pelvic health.
