Treating Pelvic Floor Disorders

At Patterson Physical Therapy & Wellness Center our therapists take pride in treating patients who have otherwise struggled to achieve improvement with their complex conditions. One of those conditions is pelvic floor dysfunction resulting from having an asymmetrically balanced pelvis.
 
We can help patients with hard to treat pelvic floor disorders such as:

• Stress and urge incontinence
  
• Pelvic floor prolapse
  
• Dyspareunia
  
• Pudendal Neuralgia
  
• Tension Myalgia
  
• Intercystitial Cysitis
  
• Coccygodynia
  

Treatment consists of a non-invasive holistic biomechanical approach that looks at position of the pelvis and muscle imbalances that may be surrounding the pelvis. An extensive evaluation, which includes only external testing, is performed on the first visit. The patient’s treatment program is then developed based on the test results specifically for their problem.  All exercises are based on current pelvic floor research.
 
Home exercises are given for the patient to continue to work on the repositioning of their pelvis and the retraining of the pelvic musculature of the pelvic inlet and outlet.  Once that has occurred, the patient is ready to continue with recommended Pilates based exercise programs to continue their health and wellness journey to overall increased strength.
