Why pelvic floor PT might be your answer to less painful sex, urinary incontinence, and back pain
After pilates instructor Amanda Kassar had her first child, she noticed that she had little control over her bladder. It eventually got better, but when she fell pregnant for the second time a few years later, the same issue returned. 'Every time I would cough or sneeze, I would fully pee,' Kassar told me. That's when she discovered she had pelvic floor disfunction—a total shock for somebody whose entire pilates career centered around having a strong abdominal core.
” Basically, there are a lot of different reasons to see a pelvic floor therapist. That said, a pelvic floor exam is very different from an annual gynecologic exam. For example, a pelvic floor physical therapist will watch you walk to determine your range of motion, strength, and flexibility, examine externally and internally, and pay attention to how the muscles and the pelvic floor behave.
