Pelvic floor physiotherapy
This is a branch of physiotherapy aimed at assessing, treating and preventing potential alterations in the pelvic floor, in men and women. It is of great help in treating various dysfunctions, such as: urinary incontinence, urinary urgency, faecal or flatal incontinence, prolapse, pelvic pain, constipation, sexual disorders, diastasis recti, etc. It is a therapeutic discipline that is useful during pregnancy and postpartum to alleviate aches and pains that occur during and after pregnancy.
On the other hand, for women who practise high impact or hypopressive sports such as running, tennis, athletics or CrossFit, it is used as a complement when there is associated weakness, hypertonia, or stress or mixed incontinence that hampers them from performing the exercise. So, re-educating the perineum, strengthening the muscles and lowering abdominal pressure are the main goals of this therapy.
