π Think pelvic physical therapy is all about Kegels? Think again! π«π¬ As a pelvic PT, my evaluation goes _way_ beyond just checking if you can squeeze your pelvic floor muscles.
Hereβs a glimpse into what I actually do during a session:β£β£β£
π Posture Assessment: Analyzing how your posture impacts pelvic alignment and function.β£β£β£
π Breathing Mechanics: Understanding how your breath affects pelvic floor engagement and relaxation.β£β£β£
π Hip Strength: Assessing the strength and stability of your hips, which are crucial for pelvic support.β£β£β£
π Core Muscle Coordination: Evaluating how well your core muscles work together to support your pelvic organs.β£β£β£
π Flexibility: Addressing tight muscles that may contribute to pelvic floor dysfunction.β£β£β£
π Pelvic Floor Function: Yes, we do assess the pelvic floor muscles, but theyβre just one piece of the puzzle! We assess muscle tone, strength, coordination, and relaxation patterns.β£β£β£
π Patient Education: Teaching patients about their anatomy and what they can do to help themselves.
π Pelvic PT is about holistic care, tailored to _your_ unique needs. Itβs time to debunk the myths and embrace the comprehensive approach to pelvic health! πͺπΊ
