PELVIC FLOOR PHYSIOTHERAPY

Pelvic floor disorders are very common and generally under-treated. The pelvic floor and its dysfunctions are one of the great overlooked. Problems such as urinary incontinence, chronic constipation, pain during sexual intercourse, and pelvic organ prolapse, among others, are often ignored or simply not treated.

Frequently, pelvic floor issues can be related to lumbopelvic pain in both men and women, caused by alterations in tone and its relationship with bone structures and respiratory dynamics. It’s worth noting that an increasing number of athletes of both genders are recognizing the importance of caring for this part of the body, as it is impacted by physical exertion and stress.

The pelvic floor plays a crucial role in the functioning of the abdominolumbopelvic, urogenital, and coloproctological systems. All of these aspects have an impact on our quality of life, as they are associated with vital reproductive and elimination functions.

Physiotherapy addresses these issues through education about the pelvic floor’s functioning, specific exercises, and the application of electromedical techniques, among other approaches, to provide optimal treatment.
