Benefits of Pelvic Floor Therapy
Pelvic floor therapy can be beneficial for people dealing with bladder issues, bowel dysfunction, and sexual dysfunction by relieving one of the most overlooked muscle groups in your body - the muscles that sling your bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs into place when you’re not using them.
In Edmonds, WA, at Lilly Physical Therapy, the services provided by pelvic floor therapy include:
- Pain relief for intercourse, sitting, or tampon insertion
- Better bladder and bowel control
- Improved core strength for lifting and exercise
- Reduced pelvic pressure and heaviness

Pelvic floor physical therapy strengthens or relaxes these muscles to treat incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and pain.
