PELVIC FLOOR

DYSFUNCTION

Pelvic floor dysfunction refers to a wide range

of issues that occur when muscles of the pelvic

floor are weak, tight, or there is an impairment

of the sacroiliac joint, lower back, coccyx, or

hip joints.

Dysfunction may lead to urinary or fecal

incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, or pain.

Physical Therapists specialize in the

evaluation and treatment of the nervous,

muscle, and skeletal systems that can be

beneficial in restoring function to the muscles

of the pelvic floor and surrounding structures.

Studies show that 78% of women with stress

urinary incontinence can improve their

symptoms through pelvic floor physical

therapy.
