Pelvic Floor Dysfunction & Pelvic Pain – We specialize in treating problems related to pelvic floor dysfunction. We treat women, men and children of both sexes.
The pelvic floor is made up of muscles and other tissues that form a sling from the pubic bone to the tailbone. They help to support the abdominal and pelvic organs and to control bladder and bowel activity.
Pelvic floor dysfunction refers to a wide range of problems that occur when these muscles are weak and/or in spasm or just too tight. The tissue surrounding the pelvic floor organs may have increased sensitivity and irritation or decreased sensitivity, causing the resulting dysfunction seen in children.
Although millions of children suffer from pelvic floor dysfunction, most don't get the help they need. Typically, children are toilet trained by age 4 with only very occasional accidents. After age 4 childhood bowel and bladder dysfunction is considered a major medical problem and greatly affects quality of life for the whole family.
Treatment may include:
External and internal soft tissue mobilization, myofascial and trigger point release, visceral manipulation, connective tissue manipulation, deep tissue massage
Biofeedback, electrical stimulation, and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS)
Heat and cold therapy
We encourage treatment to be multidisciplinary and holistic. We offer help with stress management, nutritional counseling, massage therapy, support groups and psychological services.
