Female Pelvic Health

Pelvic pain and discomfort can be more confusing and difficult to express than other types of pain. At Pelvic Forward I will help you find your voice. More importantly, I help you understand why you are having these symptoms and help develop a treatment plan to get you moving forward.

The pelvic region is fascinating because it is so complex! One example is the multitude of muscles collectively known as the pelvic floor. These muscles run from the pubic bone in the front to the coccyx in the back. They are responsible for a wealth of functions including postural support and stability, bladder and bowel control, organ support and sexual functions. These muscles are skeletal muscles that can be affected just like any other skeletal muscle in our body-they are the same as the muscles in your arms, legs, and back. They can be weak, strong, tight, coordinated, uncoordinated, fatigued etc.

Symptoms of pelvic muscles dysfunction include:

• Vaginal, perineal or rectal pain

• Pain before, during or following intercourse

• Constipation

• Poor core function, recruitment and stability

• Changes in bladder and bowel habits

• Urinary issues and problems in pregnancy (both covered more fully in other service tabs)
