Pelvic Rehabilitation

The pelvic floor consists of muscles that form a sling from the pubic bone to the coccyx (tail bone).  These muscles, like all other muscles in our body begin to “sag” and weaken as we age.  Since these muscles provide support and bladder control, organs in the abdominal cavity begin to “sag” as well.  As the muscles weaken, you may begin to notice symptoms like chronic pelvic pain, overactive bladder or frequent nighttime urination. Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation has been used for several years in other countries as well as in the United States. Seventy to seventy-five percent of our patients will see significant improvement or cure with this therapy program alone. This is a non-surgical therapy.

Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation & Stimulation are utilized for the following conditions:

• Incontinence
• Urinary Frequency
• Interstitial Cystitis
• Chronic Pelvic Pain
• Chronic Constipation
• Rectal Pain
• Pelvic Floor Relaxation

Based on the information obtained from your health history and pelvic floor muscle measurements a plan of care is developed specifically for you.  This may include the following:  Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation, Pelvic Floor Stimulation, Bladder Retraining and Dietary Changes. This therapy combines a personalized home program with office evaluation. We will develop a comprehensive plan of care designed to meet the needs of your specific problem.
