Pelvic Floor Therapy in Orlando, FL
What is Pelvic Floor Therapy?
Pelvic floor therapy is a specialized branch of physical therapy that focuses on evaluating and treating dysfunction in the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues of the pelvic floor. These muscles are responsible for supporting pelvic organs, maintaining bladder and bowel control, and facilitating sexual function.
At Davenport Pelvic Therapy, pelvic floor therapy begins with a comprehensive assessment to understand your unique concerns and symptoms. From there, I develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. This plan may include a variety of techniques, such as manual therapy, biofeedback, therapeutic exercises, and education on lifestyle modifications.

What are the Symptoms When You Should Seek Pelvic Floor Therapy?
Urinary Incontinence:
If you experience leakage of urine when coughing, sneezing, or laughing, or if you have a sudden, strong urge to urinate and can’t make it to the bathroom in time, pelvic floor therapy may be beneficial.
Frequent Urination:
Having to urinate frequently throughout the day or waking up multiple times during the night to urinate could be a sign of pelvic floor dysfunction.
Pelvic Pain:
Chronic pelvic pain, discomfort during intercourse, or pain in the lower abdomen or pelvic region may indicate pelvic floor muscle tension or dysfunction.
Constipation or Bowel Dysfunction:
Difficulty passing stools, straining during bowel movements, or a feeling of incomplete emptying could be related to pelvic floor issues.
Pelvic Organ Prolapse:
A sensation of pressure or bulging in the pelvic area, often accompanied by difficulty with bowel or bladder control, may indicate pelvic organ prolapse, which can benefit from pelvic floor therapy.
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, don’t hesitate to reach out for help. Improve your quality of life and restore pelvic health with my effective pelvic floor therapy in Orlando, FL, and its surrounding areas.
