What Is pelvic floor Therapy, and Why Is It Important?

Pelvic floor therapy is a specialized form of physical therapy that focuses on the muscles, nerves, and connective tissues of the pelvic floor. This complex system plays a crucial role in supporting the bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs, as well as maintaining proper posture, balance, and core stability.

A healthy pelvic floor is essential for preventing and managing a range of conditions, including incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, chronic pain, and sexual dysfunction. By strengthening and balancing the pelvic floor muscles, you can improve bladder control, reduce pain and discomfort, and enhance your overall quality of life.
