Five Symptoms That Are Telling You That You Need Pelvic Floor Therapy

Your pelvic floor is a small but mighty group of muscles that play a big role in your overall well-being. When these muscles become tense, weak, or imbalanced, they can cause discomfort and disrupt daily life. If you’ve been experiencing persistent issues, your body might be signaling that it’s time to seek support. Let’s explore five common symptoms that are telling you that pelvic floor therapy could be the missing piece to your wellness puzzle.

5 Symptoms Telling You That You may Benefit from Pelvic Floor Therapy

1. Chronic Pelvic Pain or Pressure:

If you feel ongoing pain. discomfort, heaviness, or pressure in your pelvis, it could indicate pelvic floor dysfunction. This pain may intensify when sitting or standing for long periods, during specific movements, or at the end of a long day. Pelvic floor therapy can help release muscle tension, improve blood flow, and restore balance, easing your discomfort.

2. Urinary Incontinence or Urgency:

Leaking urine when you cough, sneeze, or exercise isn’t a normal part of healthy aging or postpartum life — it’s a symptom that your pelvic floor needs support. Therapy can strengthen these muscles, helping you regain control and confidence.

3. Pain During Intimacy:

Painful intercourse is not something you should have to live with. It often stems from tight or overactive pelvic floor muscles. A trained therapist can use manual techniques and guided exercises to ease tension, making intimacy more comfortable and enjoyable.

4. Constipation or Straining with Bowel Movements:

Difficulty with bowel movements or feeling like you can’t fully empty your bowels can be linked to pelvic floor dysfunction. Therapy addresses muscle coordination, teaching your body how to relax and engage properly for smoother digestion and elimination.

5. Postpartum or Post-Surgical Recovery:

Whether you’ve recently given birth or had abdominal/pelvic surgery, your body needs time and care to heal. Therapy can aid recovery by rebuilding strength, improving scar mobility, and promoting optimal function, so you can feel your best.
