What is the pelvic floor?
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles located at the base of your pelvis — but that’s not all! It also includes fascia, ligaments, and aponeuroses. Together, these structures support your bladder, uterus, and rectum.
Pelvic Floor Functions
The pelvic floor plays a crucial role in:
- urinary and fecal continence
- sexual function
- posture and core stability
- support during pregnancy and after childbirth
Commun Reasons To Consult
Pelvic floor dysfunction can affect anyone, regardless of age or gender. You may benefit from rehabilitation if you experience any of the following issues:
Urinary Leakage
Postpartum recovery
Sexual Discomfort
+ stress incontinence: unintentional leakage of urine during physical effort such as couching, sneezing, laughing or exercising.
+ urge incontinence: involuntary loss of urine accompanied by a sudden, intense urge of urinate - even if the bladder isn’t full.
+ abdominal separation (diastasis)
+ pelvic floor trauma
+ pelvic floor weakness
+ discomfort
+ pain during intercourse
+ impossible intercourse
Menopause-related weakness
During menopause, the body produces less estrogen, a hormone that helps keep pelvic floor tissues strong and elastic. As estrogen level drops, the pelvic floor muscles and connectives tissues may weaken. This can lead to:
- a feeling of pelvic heaviness,
- urinary leakage,
- increase risk of pelvic organs prolapse,
- vagina dryness and discomfort.
Heaviness or pressure
Prolapse occurs when the pelvic organs - such as the bladder, the vagina, or the rectum - shift downward and press against the vagina walls due to a weakness in the pelvic floor muscles and the connective tissues.
+ Feeling? Like something is “falling down” or even “coming out”.
+ Discomfort or bulging in the vagina area
+ Difficulty with urination or bowel movements
+ Lower back pain
Pelvic Pain
In women, these pains are often due to traumas, pregnancies, deliveries, after gynecological surgeries, muscle spasms, or compression of the nerves by ex. the pudendal (or shameful) nerve.
Other: dispareunie, vaginismus, vulvodyne.
Constipation
Or difficulty to evacuate
