What is Pelvic floor Physical Therapy?
Pelvic floor Physical Therapy is not JUST KEGELS… actually, it’s a lot more than that.
You have a group of muscles that support your organs (bladder, rectum, prostate, uterus) and these muscles support your organs like a hammock. These muscles have a fascial connection all the way up to your diaphragm. This means that your abdominal muscles and your pelvic floor muscles have to work together to make the pelvic floor dynamic. As a Pelvic Health PT, we look at the abdominals, inner thigh, low back, and hips.
What is Orthopedic Physical Therapy?
Orthopedic Physical Therapy is anything that has to do with joints, muscles, and nerves throughout the body except the pelvis.
