Pelvic Floor PT is More Than Kegels

Often, people think they need a strong pelvic floor but they actually need strong glutes, adductors, hamstrings, obturators, abs and a MOBILE pelvic floor. We need the pelvic muscles to be able to contract and elevate as well as lengthen and lower. Tight pelvic floor muscles are often an indicator that the surrounding muscles aren’t strong enough to do their job, so the pelvic floor muscles tighten to assist to provide stability. What that means is we are actually doing a lot of leg and core strengthening in pelvic floor physical therapy.

So you may come to pelvic PT and think it will be kegels or internal pelvic muscle release, and it may include those things, but it’s also so much more than that.
