What is pelvic floor dysfunction?

A group of muscles at the base of the pelvic area, the pelvic floor supports and controls the pelvic organs, including the rectum, bladder, uterus, vagina, and prostate.

Those who suffer from pelvic floor dysfunction are unable to properly contract and relax this group of muscles, which can interfere with urination and bowel movements. Many patients frequently suffer from incomplete bowel movements, discomfort during sexual intercourse, and urine or stool retention.

While pelvic floor dysfunction is often associated with pregnant women, both men and women (whether pregnant or not) can develop the condition. Left untreated, pelvic floor dysfunction can lead to chronic discomfort, infection, and in rare cases long-term damage to the colon.

Physical therapy for pelvic floor therapy in Wigwam, Colorado

Physical therapy is the go-to treatment for pelvic floor dysfunction. The most common pelvic floor dysfunction treatment is biofeedback, which is performed with the help of a physical therapist. A painless, non-invasive physical therapy technique, biofeedback has been shown to help more than 75% of those who suffer from pelvic floor dysfunction.

During biofeedback exercises, the physical therapist will use sensors and video to monitor the pelvic floor muscles as the patient attempts to contract and release them. The therapist then provides verbal feedback to help the patient improve his or her muscle coordination. The physical therapist may also recommend relaxation exercises, including yoga and meditation, to help relax the pelvic floor muscles.
