Chronic Pelvic Pain
What happens during pelvic pain physical therapy sessions?
When undergoing pelvic physical therapy to alleviate pelvic pain, patients will receive a thorough and customized evaluation of their medical history and symptoms. This assessment may include a review of their posture, muscle strength, and range of motion, in addition to an internal pelvic exam to assess the pelvic floor muscles. Based on this detailed evaluation, the therapist will create a personalized treatment plan that may include a variety of interventions, such as exercises to improve muscle strength and relaxation, biofeedback to help patients learn to control their pelvic floor muscles, and manual therapy to release tight muscles or trigger points. Ultimately, pelvic physical therapy aims to alleviate pain, improve function, and restore the patient’s quality of life.
Chronic Pelvic Pain.
Chronic pelvic pain can have many potential causes, such as vulvodynia, vaginismus, dyspareunia, and endometriosis. Consequently, these conditions can cause muscle tension, inflammation, and other issues, leading to chronic pain and discomfort in the pelvic region.
Therefore, pelvic physical therapy can be an effective treatment option for patients with chronic pelvic pain due to these and other conditions. By addressing the underlying causes of pain and dysfunction, pelvic physical therapy can help to reduce pain and improve overall pelvic floor function.
It is vital for patients experiencing chronic pelvic pain to seek medical attention and work with a healthcare provider to identify the underlying causes of their symptoms. Once the underlying causes are identified, a pelvic physical therapist can develop a customized treatment plan to help alleviate pain and improve pelvic function.
When a patient experiences chronic pelvic pain, it can significantly impact their quality of life. Consequently, it can affect their ability to work, exercise, and engage in activities they enjoy. Therefore, pelvic physical therapy can be a valuable tool in helping to alleviate pelvic pain and improve the overall quality of life.
