Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy for Bowel and Gut Health
Restore Your Gut and Bowel Health
Are you suffering from gut or bowel dysfunction? If so, our pelvic floor physical therapists may be able to help you regain normal function and get back to doing what you love.
Pelvic floor physical therapy can help those struggling with chronic constipation, fecal incontinence or bowel leakage, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), defecation disorders such as Dyssynergia and Paradoxical Pelvic Floor, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), hemorrhoids, and more.
Bowel Disfunction & the Role of the Pelvic Floor
The pelvic floor plays a key role in your bowel and gut health. It supports the bladder, uterus or prostate, and bowel/rectum, and helps to control when you pass urine and open your bowel. If you are suffering from pelvic floor bowel dysfunction, you may experience:
Fecal incontinence (a loss of control over bowel movements, resulting in the leakage of gas or stool)
Constipation
Incomplete bowel movements
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
Defecation disorders (Dyssynergia and Paradoxical Pelvic Floor)
Visceral Mobilization for Small Intestinal Bacterial overgrowth (SIBO)
Hemorrhoids, fissures, and fistulas
Living with bowel disfunction can drastically impact your daily life and keep you from doing all the things you enjoy. Moreover, you may find it difficult to talk with others about it. The good news is that bowel disfunction can be effectively managed and treated with the help of a pelvic floor physical therapist.
Safely Restore your Bowel & Gut Health
If you are living with bowel disfunction, physical therapy can help improve the strength and coordination of your pelvic muscles so you can have healthy bowel movements without experiencing pain, leakage or straining.
