Golden Isles Pelvic Floor Therapy Options
From pelvic health physical therapy to attending your regular obstetric/gynecological exams, taking care of your pelvic floor should not take a backseat when it comes to your well-being. We’ve compiled some information that may be helpful to you if you’re looking for Golden Isles pelvic floor resources.
Who Needs Pelvic Floor Therapy?
Do you have a trampoline park birthday party coming up, and you’re worried about peeing your pants? No problem! Pelvic floor physical therapy eliminates or reduces pelvic organ prolapse, diastasis, pelvic pain, and stress/urge incontinence. It can be especially helpful for women who have given birth. High-impact activities such as jumping, running, and lifting your child can result in urinary or fecal leakage, pelvic pain, or tension if pelvic floor dysfunction is present. Though these symptoms are commonly accepted as normative for moms, they can be eradicated with physical therapy in most scenarios.
