Pelvic Floor Therapy
Pelvic Floor Dysfunction refers to many problems that occur when the muscles of the pelvic floor are weak, tense, demonstrate poor coordination or there is an impairment of the sacroiliac joint, low back, coccyx and/or hip joint. And although Pelvic floor issues are more common in females, males may also experience issues.
​
These "issues" may present as chronic lower back pain, constipation and rectal cramping, incontinence, erectile dysfunction, prostate problems (surgical or enlargement), just to name a few. Each condition requires it's own unique form of pelvic floor treatment.
