Understanding the Importance of Pelvic Health and How Fast Pace Physical Therapy Can Help

Pelvic health is an essential yet often overlooked aspect of overall well-being. Many people suffer from pelvic floor dysfunctions but may not seek help due to embarrassment or a lack of awareness about treatment options. At Fast Pace Physical Therapy in Moss Bluff, Louisiana, we provide compassionate care to help you regain control and improve your quality of life.

What is Pelvic Health?

Pelvic health encompasses the proper functioning of the pelvic floor muscles, which support the bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs. These muscles play a crucial role in various bodily functions, including:

• Urination and bowel movements.
• Sexual function
• Support for pelvic organs

When these muscles are weakened or injured, it can lead to conditions such as incontinence, pelvic pain, and prolapse.

Common Pelvic Floor Dysfunction Symptoms

Pelvic floor dysfunction can manifest in many ways, including:

• Urinary incontinence: Involuntary leakage of urine.
• Fecal incontinence: Involuntary leakage of stool.
• Pelvic organs prolapse: Dropping of pelvic organs due to weakened muscles.
• Chronic pelvic pain: Persistent pain in the pelvic region.
• Pain during intercourse: Discomfort or pain during sexual activity.

These symptoms can significantly impact your daily life, causing physical discomfort and emotional distress. However, there is hope and help available at Fast Pace Physical Therapy.
