Pelvic Floor

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles and connective tissues located at the base of the pelvis, supporting vital organs such as the bladder, uterus (in women), and rectum. These muscles play a crucial role in maintaining continence, core stability, and sexual function. A healthy pelvic floor ensures proper control over urination and bowel movements, supports posture, and contributes to overall pelvic health.

Pelvic floor issues can arise due to childbirth, aging, surgery, obesity, hormonal changes, or high-impact exercise. Common problems include urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, lower back pain, and reduced sexual function. Both men and women can experience pelvic floor dysfunction, although it’s more prevalent in women, especially after pregnancy or menopause.

Pelvic floor therapy involves specialized exercises, physical therapy, and in some cases, advanced technologies like HIFEM (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic) treatment, which non-invasively stimulates thousands of muscle contractions to strengthen the pelvic floor. Regular pelvic exercises such as Kegels, combined with guided therapy, can significantly improve muscle tone, restore function, and enhance quality of life without surgery or medication.
