Unlock Your Potential with Comprehensive Pelvic Health Therapy in Morrisville, NC
What is Pelvic Health Therapy?
Pelvic health therapy is a specialized form of physical therapy focused on diagnosing and treating conditions related to the pelvic floor. The pelvic floor is a group of muscles, ligaments, and tissues that support the pelvic organs, including the bladder, uterus (or prostate), and rectum. These muscles play a critical role in bladder and bowel control, sexual function, and core stability.
Pelvic health therapy aims to address dysfunctions in this area, which can manifest as pain, incontinence, prolapse, and other symptoms. Treatment involves a variety of techniques designed to improve the function and strength of the pelvic floor muscles, alleviate pain, and enhance overall quality of life.
