Pelvic floor physical therapy (PFPT) is an effective, medically recognized treatment for alleviating pelvic pain and improving muscle function in the pelvic region. Over time, pelvic muscles — like those in your arms, legs, and abdomen — can lose tone and flexibility. PFPT, also called pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) or myofascial release, is a specialized therapy designed to restore the pelvic muscles’ strength, coordination, and relaxation.
For residents and visitors in Honolulu and Waikiki, this therapeutic approach provides relief from discomfort and helps improve overall well-being, according to MedlinePlus.
Why Might You Need Pelvic Floor Therapy?
Research shows that up to 75% of women experience pain during sex at some point, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. PFPT can effectively address this pain and also assist with:
• Urinary or fecal incontinence
• Chronic pelvic pain
• Tailbone pain
• Constipation
• Pelvic organ prolapse
• Peripartum and postpartum pelvic floor dysfunction
These conditions are collectively known as pelvic floor dysfunction. In Honolulu and Waikiki, PFPT offers relief by training and strengthening the pelvic muscles to enhance endurance and relaxation, as highlighted in the 2019 review in Current Opinion in Obstetrics and Gynecology.
Pelvic pain can severely impact your quality of life and even cause stress in relationships, as explained by Lauren Tadros, PT, DPT, a physical therapist with expertise in pelvic floor care.
