Concerns That Can Be Supported By Pelvic health Physiotherapy


Prenatal Care

During pregnancy, your body goes through many changes that can impact your mobility and quality of life. Some common concerns include pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain, urinary symptoms, bowel concerns, and hemorrhoids. During your pregnancy, staying active is generally recommended, but pain or mobility issues can make it difficult to continue physical activity. Your physiotherapist can provide exercise counselling for your pregnancy to support healthy activity for you and your baby. Most importantly, during your sessions, your physiotherapist will help you build more awareness and control of the pelvic floor during pregnancy and birth. This can be an important part of your prenatal care, as preventative pelvic floor muscle training may help prevent issues in the postpartum period, such as incontinence.

Postpartum Care

During pregnancy and childbirth, the body experiences many physical changes which can lead to weakness and/or increased tension. Postpartum pelvic floor issues are quite common and pelvic health physiotherapy can be an effective treatment option to help you improve and manage symptoms.

Chronic Pelvic Pain

Chronic pelvic pain can occur for an array of reasons, one of which may be increased tension of pelvic floor muscles. Understanding how the muscles in your pelvis and surrounding areas are operating is often an important factor in understanding and addressing your ongoing pelvic pain.

Dyspareunia (Painful Intercourse)

Dyspareunia is the medical term that refers to pain before, during, and/or after intercourse. Dyspareunia can be caused by multiple conditions including vulvodynia, vaginismus, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, IBS, and much more. Pelvic health physiotherapy is one of many approaches that can help manage this type of pain.

Vulvodynia/Vestibulodynia

Vulvodynia is a type of persistent vulvar pain with different subtypes, including vestibulodynia (pain localized to the vulvar vestibule). It can lead to pain during day-to-day activities such as sitting for long periods, sex, or using menstrual products.

Vaginismus

Vaginismus refers to an involuntary response to some or all types of vaginal penetration. This often leads to pain and discomfort during intercourse, tampon/menstrual cup insertion, and/or pelvic exams.

Dysmenorrhea

Dysmenorrhea refers to menstrual pain and can be classified as primary or secondary - primary dysmenorrhea being pain related to menstruation without an underlying medical condition and secondary dysmenorrhea being pain caused by an identifiable medical condition, such as endometriosis.

Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome

Interstitial cystitis is a chronic bladder condition that often causes pain, pressure and discomfort in the bladder and pelvic region. It’s estimated that up to 85% of individuals experiencing IC/BPS are also experiencing pelvic floor dysfunction, which can be helped by pelvic health physiotherapy.

Bladder/Bowel Dysfunction

Common bladder issues may include stress urinary incontinence, urge urinary incontinence, urinary frequency, strong urinary urge, and difficulty emptying. Bowel issues that may be helped by pelvic health physiotherapy include fecal incontinence, constipation, bowel urgency, and pain with bowel movements.

Genito-Urinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM)

Genito-urinary syndrome of menopause is a medical term for a host of symptoms caused by hormonal changes associated with menopause. Individuals experiencing this syndrome may experience vaginal dryness, irritation, pain, and urinary symptoms.
