pelvic floor therapy

It is often not clear what the pelvic floor is and what important role it plays. The pelvic floor is made up of a complex of muscles that are crucial for stabilizing the urethra, bladder, uterus, and rectum in the pelvic area. In cooperation with the trunk muscles – namely the back and abdominal muscles – it contributes to the stabilization of the torso and plays a central role in maintaining continence.

Problems in the pelvic floor area can manifest in various ways, including:

• Stress or urge incontinence
• Urge incontinence
• Irritable bladder
• Overflow bladder
• Combined problems
• Flatulence incontinence
• Fecal incontinence
• Chronic constipation
• Chronic pain in the pelvic, genital area, and pelvic floor (CPPS)
• Prolapse
• Sexual dysfunction
• Pain during intercourse (dyspareunia)
• Postoperative complications
• Bloating

These symptoms affect both women and men and remain a taboo topic.

Children can also be affected by pelvic floor weakness, evident in night-time incontinence, chronic constipation, fecal incontinence, encopresis, toilet refusal syndrome, or toilet phobia. Close collaboration with pediatricians, nutritionists, and possibly psychotherapists is particularly important for them.

The therapy includes a comprehensive initial assessment, specific examinations (palpation), biofeedback & electrostimulation, Acticore as well as practical everyday guidance.

• Individual pelvic floor exercises
• Training with biofeedback devices
• Specialized courses for postnatal recovery
• Guided exercises to improve pelvic floor function
