Conditions involving pelvic floor dysfunctions include, but are not limited to: bowel and bladder problems, urinary and/or fecal incontinence, pelvic pain, dispareunia (pain with sex), coccygeal, sacral or chronic low back pain, and scar pain from childbirth, radiation or surgery.

 

Accurate assessment and treatment of the pelvic floor often include an internal assessment and treatment of the pelvic floor muscles vaginally or rectally. Evaluations are conducted in a private room and often include observation and assessment of the urogenital and/or rectal areas; including the skin, reflexes, palpation for tissue tenderness, and muscle assessment of tone, length, strength, and endurance. Treatments, performed in a private room, include but are not limited to: internal and/or external soft tissue and/or joint mobilization, strengthening, stretching, and patient education.

 

Patients can opt to have a second person of their choosing (a chaperone) present in the treatment room throughout their sessions.
