Pelvic floor physical therapy
What is pelvic floor therapy?
Pelvic floor physical therapy is a specialized type of physical therapy that focuses on the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues in your pelvic area. These muscles support important organs like the bladder, bowel, and (in women) the uterus, and they play a key role in bladder and bowel control, sexual function, and core stability.
A pelvic floor physical therapist (a specially trained PT) may use:
- Exercises: like Kegels (for strengthening) or relaxation techniques
- Manual therapy: hands-on techniques to release tight muscles
- Education: posture, breathing, bladder habits, and lifestyle changes
- Sessions are tailored to your symptoms and comfort level, nothing is done without your consent.
Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Training
What is BFR?
Typically to improve muscular strength and size it has been assumed heavy loads must to be lifted. Unfortunately, in certain populations, like older individuals, post-operative patients, or those rehabilitating an injury, high-load exercises can cause injury and be difficult to tolerate.
BFR training combines low-intensity exercise under reduced arterial flow conditions. BFR reduces the amount of blood flow into an extremity by using a specially made medical tourniquet. BFR allows individuals to use low loads to achieve results similar to high intensity training.
Dry Needling
Dry needling is an effective technique for treating and managing pain. It can be used for musculoskeletal pain, such as shoulder, neck, heel, hip and back.
A trigger point is a tight band in a muscle fiber that can disrupt function, restrict range of motion, refer pain or cause local tenderness. A physical therapist penetrates the skin with a thin monofilament needle to poke the underlying muscular trigger points. When dry needling is applied to a dysfunctional muscle or trigger point, it can decrease banding or tightness, increase blood flow, and reduce local and referred pain.
Dry needling can reduce pain, inactivate trigger points and restore function. However, it rarely is a standalone procedure. It often is a part of a broader physical therapy approach incorporating traditional physical therapy interventions.
