Physiotherapy in the context of the pelvic floor is a specialized area of rehabilitation focused on improving and restoring the function of the pelvic floor muscles. The pelvic floor includes important muscles responsible for the functioning of the urinary, bowel, and reproductive systems. Dysfunction of these muscles can cause problems such as urinary or fecal incontinence, pelvic pain, sexual dysfunction, or pelvic organ prolapse.

The goal of physiotherapy in this area is to restore muscle strength, flexibility, and control to improve these important functions. Pelvic floor physiotherapy rehabilitation is especially important after childbirth, pelvic surgeries, spinal injuries, as well as during menopause, when muscle tone may decline.

During the physiotherapy process, the specialist conducts a thorough assessment of the patient’s condition, which may include palpation of the pelvic floor muscles, manual evaluation, or methods such as electromyography. Based on the examinations, the patient is recommended individually tailored exercises, such as Kegel exercises, to strengthen the pelvic muscles. Biofeedback therapy, a feedback method, helps the patient better understand and control their muscle activity.

These exercises and therapies help not only to improve the function of the pelvic floor muscles but also to restore a person’s quality of life by reducing discomfort and enhancing overall well-being. Additionally, the physiotherapist educates on daily habits, such as proper posture and techniques during bathroom visits, which also promote pelvic floor health.

Proper and timely treatment of pelvic floor muscle dysfunction can significantly improve the patient’s quality of life, and GASTRO CENTRS offers the most advanced methods to address this delicate issue. It is important to remember that initially, one should consult a proctologist or another specialist to establish an accurate diagnosis and recommend appropriate treatment.
