Understanding Proctalgia & How Physiotherapy Can Help

What is Proctalgia?
Proctalgia is pain in the re**al or a**l region caused by muscle spasms or pelvic floor dysfunction. It can range from sudden, short episodes (Proctalgia Fugax) to persistent, long-lasting discomfort (Chronic Proctalgia).

How Can Physiotherapy Help?
Physiotherapy targets the root cause of the pain by relaxing the pelvic floor and improving muscle function.
✨ Takeaway
You don’t have to live with the pain! Proctalgia is treatable, and physiotherapy offers effective, non-invasive solutions.

📢 5 Signs Your Pelvic Floor Needs Help!

🔎 Many women ignore pelvic floor dysfunction until it disrupts daily life. Here are 5 signs you shouldn’t ignore:

1️⃣ Urinary Leakage – Do you leak when you cough, sneeze, or exercise? It’s a sign your pelvic floor needs attention!
2️⃣ Pelvic Pain or Pressure – A feeling of heaviness or discomfort in your pelvis could indicate dysfunction.
3️⃣ Pain During Intimacy – Painful in*******se is NOT normal and could be due to tight pelvic floor muscles.
4️⃣ Constipation or Straining – Struggling with bowel movements? A weak pelvic floor might be the culprit.
5️⃣ Lower Back or Hip Pain – Your pelvic floor supports your core. Dysfunction can cause back, hip, or even leg pain.

✨ Good news: Pelvic floor therapy can help! ✨
