Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation
Pain and dysfunction of the pelvic floor can severely impact day to day life – yet many people are uncomfortable talking about it. However, there is no need to suffer in silence. With the right information and a proper treatment plan, physical therapy can make a significant difference in how the pelvic floor functions and help restore quality of life.
Physical therapy treatment at Davis Regional Medical Center's physical rehabilitation department focuses on normalizing the muscle tone of the pelvic floor and restoring balance between the pelvis, lower back and hips. It can help conditions such as:
- Urinary incontinency and/or urgency
- Pelvic organ prolapse
- Post-surgical pain (e.g. hysterectomy, bladder, suspension, episiotomy)
- Abdominal separation
- Lumbopelvic pain
- Coccyx (tailbone) pain
- Pregnancy and post-partum issues
- Weak pelvic floor
- Osteoporosis
Treatment may include neuromuscular training for pelvic floor muscle strengthening and relaxing, pain control strategies, manual therapy to improve soft tissue function and bladder/bowel habit education.
If you are experiencing any of these conditions, ask your physician for a referral to Davis Regional Medical Center’s pelvic floor program. A physician order is required for admission to the program. Medicare, Medicaid and most insurance plans cover this service. For assistance or more information, please call our rehabilitation services department at (704) 838-7620.
