we generally know to go to the doctor or PT when we have pain with or difficulty moving our arm or leg. If there is knee pain/elbow pain or suddenly i cant bend my elbow - we go and get help. Why do we not think of the pelvic floor the same way?
Because the pelvic floor doesnt move a joint - i think this messes with peoples mind. The pelvic floor is skeletal muscle just like the bicep or quad so experiences the same issues at honestly a significantly higher rate. But when it needs help, it generally manifests it self in issues with peeing, pooping and s*x. (its main jobs).
When it needs help, it can be complex (more than just do kegels) it can need more motion, coordination, need to be stretched, strengthening or sometimes surgical intervention.
There are people out there that know this part of the body well. That dont think what you are experiencing is weird or gross. Nothing is TMI.
PeakRx Pt & Wellness is a pelvic floor therapy clinic in north dallas that love to talk about it.
