Physical Therapy for Pelvic Pain

Pelvic Pain... There is Help
Pelvic pain is a general term used to describe debilitating discomfort in the pelvic region. Pelvic pain can occur at any time in a woman’s life, frequently causing significant emotional distress and adversely affecting her quality of life. Unfortunately many women develop chronic pelvic pain, symptoms that persist longer than three months. If chronic pelvic pain goes untreated,
additional bladder, bowel, and sexual dysfunction may develop.

The Normal Pelvis
The pelvis serves many roles in our bodies. Nearly every movement and position of the human body depends on the pelvis. Proper activity and balance between all of the muscles, joints, and tissues of the pelvis are essential for normal pain-free function. The pelvis also plays a role in sexual function, support and protection of the internal organs, and control of bladder and bowel function.

Physical therapists utilize their specialized medical training to thoroughly evaluate each patient and design treatment programs that address her
individual needs. It is the goal of the therapist to empower the patient and make her a partner in her care.
