-
Age: As individuals age, natural muscle weakening and decreased tissue elasticity can contribute to pelvic floor issues.
-

-
Obesity: Excess weight can exert added pressure on the pelvic floor, contributing to muscle dysfunction.
These factors can have a significant impact on pelvic floor health, and understanding them is essential for effectively addressing and managing pelvic floor dysfunction. If you are experiencing pelvic floor issues, seeking guidance from a pelvic health physical therapist can help identify the underlying causes and develop a personalized treatment plan to improve your pelvic floor function.
Pelvic Floor Conditions We Treat
Functional Incontinence

Through targeted pelvic floor exercises, bladder retraining techniques, and lifestyle modifications, our comprehensive approach aims to help our patients regain control over their bladder, reduce sudden urges, and manage urge incontinence effectively. With our expert guidance and personalized care, we empower individuals to lead a more comfortable and confident life.

Overflow incontinence can be distressing for those experiencing it, but at HIDEF Physical Therapy, we are here to offer support and solutions. Our specialized physical therapists recognize the importance of addressing the underlying causes, such as weak bladder muscles or urinary tract obstructions.

C-Section Scars
C-Section scar mobilization, massage, and treatment are essential components of our specialized physical therapy services aimed at promoting optimal healing and recovery. A cesarean section (C-section) involves a surgical incision in the abdominal wall, which can lead to scar tissue formation. This scar tissue may cause discomfort, restricted movement, and even contribute to pelvic floor dysfunction. Our skilled physical therapists offer targeted techniques to gently mobilize and massage the C-section scar tissue, promoting improved circulation, flexibility, and reduced adhesions. Through personalized treatment plans, we focus on alleviating pain, restoring mobility, and enhancing the overall function of the scar area. Whether you recently underwent a C-section or have been experiencing lingering discomfort, our specialized care is designed to enhance your post-surgical healing journey and ensure optimal pelvic health.
Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Pelvic organ prolapse is a condition that we address with expertise at our clinic. It occurs when the pelvic organs, such as the bladder, uterus, or rectum, descend from their normal positions and bulge into the vaginal canal. This can lead to discomfort, pressure, and even urinary or bowel issues. Our specialized pelvic health physical therapists are dedicated to providing tailored treatment plans that address the underlying causes of pelvic organ prolapse. Through targeted exercises, manual therapies, and lifestyle modifications, we work to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, improve support, and enhance overall pelvic health. With our guidance, you can regain confidence, alleviate discomfort, and achieve a higher quality of life by effectively managing pelvic organ prolapse.
