Your pelvis plays a crucial role in supporting your overall health, yet many people overlook its importance. At Body Kneads Massage & Holistic Wellness Centre, we offer Pelvic Health Rehabilitation to help address pelvic floor dysfunction, restore core stability, and support overall well-being.
The Five Key Functions of the Pelvis
The pelvis is a powerhouse for your body, serving five primary functions:
- Support: Provides stability for internal organs.
- Sphincteric: Controls the function of the urethra, vagina, and anus.
- Sexual: Relaxes for penetration and contracts during orgasm.
- Stability: Stabilizes the trunk during movements of the arms and legs.
- Sump Pump: Aids in circulation by moving lymphatic fluid from the legs back to the heart.
When the pelvic floor muscles are too tight, stretched, or weakened, these functions can become compromised, leading to pain, discomfort, and other health issues.
What Causes Pelvic Floor Dysfunction?
Pelvic floor problems can develop due to several factors:
- Life stages: Pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, and aging can weaken or stress the pelvic floor muscles.
- Overuse or tightness: Muscles that are too tight or overworked may lose their ability to relax, worsening symptoms.
- Weakness from early life: Some individuals may naturally have weak pelvic floor muscles, which can lead to issues over time.
Imbalances in the core, hips, and surrounding areas also contribute to pelvic floor dysfunction. Unfortunately, many exercise routines focus too heavily on the abdominals, ignoring the interconnected systems that make up the core—including the diaphragm, pelvic floor, and surrounding muscles.
Benefits of Pelvic Health Rehabilitation
Our pelvic health rehabilitation sessions strengthen and balance the core functioning system. By addressing the muscles, scar tissue, and posture, this therapy helps to:
- Reignite and activate weak or inactive tissues and muscles.
- Teach the body how to release stress and soften tight tissues.
- Reduce the risk of pain, dysfunction, or surgery.
- Support the diaphragm, abdominal muscles, and pelvic floor.
- Restore function to surrounding areas, including the thighs, gluteal muscles, hips, and nervous system.
Pelvic health therapy can benefit both men and women. It addresses various symptoms that may seem unrelated to the pelvic floor.
What to Expect During a Pelvic Health Rehabilitation Session
Our sessions are comprehensive and non-invasive, focusing on external rehabilitation.
Here’s what to expect:
- Assessment: Your therapist will evaluate your posture, body imbalances, and any areas of concern, particularly the hips and core.
- Scar Tissue Treatment: If you have scar tissue from surgeries (e.g., c-section, hernia repair, etc.), treating the scars improves mobility and function.
- Massage Therapy: Tension in the body will be released, with a focus on the hips, legs, and back.
- Rehabilitation: You’ll learn how to activate and strengthen inactive muscles to support the body properly and regain balance.
Important Note: These sessions do not include internal assessments or treatments. If internal manipulations are necessary, we will refer you to a specialist.
