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