Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy at Dr. Soumya’s Physiotherapy Clinic
Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy is a specialized form of physiotherapy that focuses on the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues of the pelvic floor. This area is crucial for supporting the organs of the pelvis, including the bladder, uterus, and rectum. Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy is particularly effective for women dealing with conditions such as incontinence, pelvic pain, prolapse, and sexual dysfunction. At Dr. Soumya’s Physiotherapy Clinic, we offer expert Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy to help patients regain control, alleviate discomfort, and improve their quality of life.
What is Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy?
Myofascial Release (MFR) Therapy is a manual therapy technique used by trained physiotherapists to release tension and tightness in the fascia. The fascia is a dense network of connective tissue that surrounds muscles and organs, and when it becomes restricted or tightened, it can lead to pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion. MFR involves applying gentle sustained pressure to areas of fascial tightness, helping to release restrictions, improve circulation, and promote healing.
