What is Pelvic Rehabilitation?

The pelvic floor is composed of muscles that support the urinary, gastrointestinal, and reproductive systems. You can feel your pelvic floor muscles when you contract by stopping the flow of your urination. Both men and women can be impacted by imbalances in the pelvic floor. Specific exercises are used to relax and/or strengthen the pelvic floor muscles to alleviate the symptoms. For example, by performing Kegel exercises in physical therapy, you will be able to see overall improvements in your health and sexual functions.

What is the benefit of pelvic rehabilitation?

• Can help your urinary incontinence
• Can help you control fecal incontinence
• Can help men with their urinary incontinence after prostate surgery
• Improve sexual function
