Pelvic Floor Therapy In Greenville

Patients often want to weigh the benefits and drawbacks of pelvic floor therapy before beginning. Our team understands this mindset well. We hope reviewing the many potential benefits below will ease your mind about starting the healing process with us. Know that you can proceed at your own pace and we will respect your boundaries every step of the way.

Lower Pain Levels – Living with constant pelvic pain is exhausting and impacts every area of life. Our patients often report significant pain reduction even after just a few PT sessions. By releasing myofascial trigger points, joint restrictions, and neural tension, we alleviate strain on your pelvic floor immediately. Improving posture, core strength, and movement patterns provides longer relief.

Greater Range of Motion – Pelvic pain often develops from overly tense muscles and connective tissue. This impairs your mobility. Our manual techniques lengthen tight tissues while strengthening exercises enhance flexibility. Movement becomes freer, easier, and less limited by pain.

Increased Sexual Function – Sexual symptoms like pain during intercourse, low arousal, erection issues, or inability to orgasm frequently stem from pelvic floor problems. By releasing trigger points and teaching you to relax these muscles, we resolve these symptoms for many patients. We also provide education to help you better understand the mechanics and psychology of sex.

Reduced Risk of Chronic Pain – When pelvic issues are left untreated, nerves and tissues remain irritated. This sensitizes the central nervous system and can create chronic regional pain syndrome. Early physical therapy intervention helps “turn off” these pain signals, reducing the chances pain will progress. It also limits loss of flexibility from guarding.

Corrected Bowel and Urinary Patterns – Pelvic floor dysfunction frequently disrupts normal bowel and bladder function. You might deal with constipation, diarrhea, frequent urination, incontinence, or retention. We identify how your pelvic floor impairment contributes to these troubles and train the muscles to function properly again through biofeedback, electrical stimulation, and exercise.
