Women's Health Month
May is Women's Health Month
This is the perfect time to bring awareness about a common problem affecting a large percentage of women - pelvic floor dysfunction.

The pelvic floor muscles are involved in several important functions in the body including stability of the lower back, assistance with bowel and bladder control, helping to support the pelvic organs, and overall sexual function.

Common symptoms include:

  • pelvic pain
  • pain with intercourse
  • frequent urination
  • stress incontinence (leaking with coughing, sneezing, lifting, etc.)
  • urge incontinence
  • low back or hip pain
  • pelvic organ prolapse
  • constipation (chronic or recurring)
  • fecal incontinence (inability to hold stool and/or gas).

Physical therapy can help strengthen your pelvic floor muscles and alleviate symptoms associated with pelvic floor dysfunction. No doctor referral needed! Read more about physical therapy treatments and schedule an appointment today with one of our Pelvic Floor Specialists!
