Dealing with Constipation?

Did you know pelvic floor physical therapy can help with this? Constipation is defined as having difficulty or decreased frequency of ability to pass stool. Many factors can contribute to constipation including the pelvic floor muscles. If they are too tight and cannot fully relax as required with a bowel movement.

Can pelvic floor physical therapy help?

A pelvic floor assessment can determine the cause of pelvic floor tightness in contributing to constipation. A pelvic floor assessment will usually include the following:

• Assess the muscles (get overactive muscles to start at a better resting baseline so they have more to give & can turn on when you need them)

• Improve pressure management (breath strategies)

• Toileting posture

• Strengthen/build endurance.

• Finally, we can build hip & core strength so the ENTIRE system runs efficiently.
