Perineal and pelvic rehabilitation is a specialized approach to physiotherapy aimed at the prevention, evaluation and treatment of various problems affecting the pelvic floor and pelvic health.
The pelvic floor is made up of muscles and connective tissues that play an important role in supporting the pelvic organs (bladder, uterus, rectum), continence, sexuality, and the stability of the back, pelvis and hips.
A damaged, weakened, overstretched or overstretched pelvic floor can cause urinary or fecal incontinence, prolapse, constipation, genital or pelvic pain, as well as sexual problems such as pain during intercourse or erectile dysfunction.
Pelvic floor problems are common and can occur at any stage of life.
They are more common in women, however, and occur most frequently during the perinatal period, during pregnancy and following childbirth.
Perineal and pelvic rehabilitation involves a complete evaluation, including vaginal and/or anal examination, to identify the presence of pelvic floor dysfunctions and establish an appropriate treatment plan.
Several treatment modalities are used in perineal and pelvic rehabilitation, such as manual and instrumental techniques to stimulate, soften, strengthen or relax the pelvic floor muscles, as well as targeted therapeutic exercises.
Instruction in the anatomy and physiology (function) of the pelvic floor, advice on lifestyle habits, a personalized exercise program and self-management interventions enable the patient to acquire the skills needed to maintain the benefits of perineal and pelvic rehabilitation over the long term.
Although pelvic floor problems are common, they are treatable and you shouldn’t have to live with them.
Perineal and pelvic rehabilitation can help you regain control, optimize pelvic floor function and pelvic health, and improve your well-being.
