How Pelvic Health Physical Therapy can be Beneficial For Everyone
As a pelvic health physical therapist, one of the most common phrases I hear as people begin their healthcare journey is, “Everyone needs pelvic health PT, no matter who they are!”. I couldn’t agree more. In our society, we have normalized living our day to day lives with chronic aches and pains, consistently living within an amplified sympathetic nervous system, and sitting with the stress and dysfunction that inevitably comes with this. It has lowered our quality of life in ways that are truly hard to quantify.
What people realize once they have embarked on their pelvic healthcare journey is that they don’t have to live like this any longer, and neither should anyone else. The key to understanding what could be happening within your body is to connect with yourself in a way many of us have never done before, and working with a pelvic health therapist can help guide you through that process.
If you’re dealing with chronic pelvic pain, pain with sex, or pain with urination or defecation, pelvic PT is for you. If you’re suffering from abdominal pain, chronic low back pain, or even upper back pain, pelvic PT is for you. If you’re dealing with pain during pregnancy or pain in the postpartum, no matter how long it has been, pelvic PT is for you. Maybe you experience a recurring tweak somewhere in the body with your favorite exercise like yoga or running; pelvic PT is for you too!
Together, we can identify the root cause of your pain and dysfunction and address these issues from a whole body approach. And it doesn’t even have to be just about pain…at pelvic PT we can work on prevention of developing any of the above issues. We can work one on one to keep your body healthy and moving in a way that works best for you.
The overarching message is that pelvic PT is for all people. No matter what stage of life you are in, no matter your gender or sexual identity, no matter where you live, all folks deserve to get pelvic PT and get out of that chronic pain cycle, exploring what possibilities there can be when putting yourself and your health first.
