What is the Pelvic Floor?
The
pelvic floor is a sling of muscles that sit inside the base of your
pelvis. These muscles are so incredibly important. They contribute to
pelvic stabilization, sexual function and bowel/bladder function. These
muscles can become weak and lead to conditions such as stress and urge
incontinence (leakage of urine with exertion or increased urge to
urinate). These muscles can also become tight and develop spasms or
trigger points. This may lead to pelvic pain and difficulty/pain with
intercourse or going to the bathroom. These muscles are just like any
other muscles: they have the potential to be rehabilitated. The trick is
finding these muscles and learning to regain control and proper tone of
them. Using special manual techniques, exercise, and biofeedback,
Dr. Jagroo can help you get back to a healthy and more comfortable you.
Dr. Denise Jagroo
offers a comprehensive pelvic floor stabilization program. Dr. Jagroo
utilizes many treatment options, one of which is biofeedback.
Biofeedback allows the patient to see their pelvic floor muscle activity
on a computer screen with the use of specialized equipment and
software. This helps the patient to learn to be aware of the muscle and
control the tone. You will learn to recruit the pelvic floor muscles
when you need to close off your bladder. You will also learn to relax
the muscles at the appropriate times. The program incorporates pelvic
floor stabilization during functional activities so you can practice
contracting your muscles during activities of daily living. Dr. Jagroo uses
many tools, including manual therapy, to assist patients on their road
to recovery.
