Why is female pelvic floor physiotherapy essential, and how can we help you?

The pelvic floor is one of a woman’s most essential anatomical features. It regulates vital functions such as sexual activity, organ function, and bowel and bladder movements.

Our female pelvic floor PTs in Edmonton specialize in treating several illnesses to provide comprehensive therapy tailored to your requirements:

Postnatal and pregnancy-related support

Some women might have trouble with incontinence after having a baby. At Turning Point Physical Therapy, we do checkups to see how your body is doing after pregnancy. We look at your posture, abdominal health, and the muscles around your pelvis. The therapy helps you return to normal activities after having a baby. We also offer rehabilitation for weakened abdominal muscles and pelvic pain and advice on breastfeeding and baby care techniques.
For pregnancy, we address discomforts such as pain in the back, pelvic pain, sciatica, or median nerve compression that may arise. We also offer guidance on maintaining pelvic health throughout all the phases of pregnancy, including exercises and techniques to reduce discomfort.

Managing menopausal changes

As women age, hormonal shifts due to menopause can cause pelvic problems like frequent urination or dryness.
With pelvic floor physiotherapy, we address physical discomfort associated with it, such as aches and pains, vaginal symptoms, and pelvic floor muscle issues.

Treatment for medical conditions

Conditions such as endometriosis and pelvic infections can significantly undermine pelvic health, leading to discomfort and reduced physical function.
At Turning Point Physical Therapy, we identify and treat these ailments with utmost dedication. Our therapeutic approach reduces discomfort and enhances physical capabilities, ensuring a smoother and more comfortable daily life.

Enhancing sexual wellness

When pelvic floor issues arise, they can dampen the quality of sexual experiences. Our pelvic floor physiotherapy sessions address and resolve these challenges. The tailored treatment plans improve the structural health of the pelvic area, which can lead to heightened sexual enjoyment and satisfaction.

Preventive care and education

Our pelvic therapy extends beyond immediate treatment and educates women with the necessary knowledge and skills for preventive care.
Through teaching specific exercises and promoting healthy pelvic habits, we aspire to educate people about pelvic health against potential future problems. This educational aspect of our therapy is also essential for sustaining a solid pelvic foundation and ensuring ongoing wellness.

We prioritize your comfort and confidentiality, offering virtual appointments for those who prefer remote consultations.
