Pelvic Floor Therapy
Pelvic Health in Myofascial Release Therapy
The pelvic bones, pelvic floor muscles, pelvic organs and all of the associated fascia are a central hub in the whole body fascial and nervous system web. Through Myofascial Release therapy we can gently shift the patterns in the body as a whole that create dysfunction in the pelvic floor.
While some of this work is direct with the pelvis, lower abdominal fascia, internal and external pelvic floor muscles and fascia, addressing the global patterns in the body supports pelvic health and resolves dysfunction in a lasting way.
I treat the following pelvic health concerns through Myofasical Release therapy:
pelvic pain: hip, tailbone, pubic symphisis, sacral-iliac joint pain
incontinence
pain with penetration
constipation
scar tissue from tearing during childbirth, trauma or procedures
“My understanding of my body and fascia has made it easier to continue my healing on my own.”
“I have come to MFR for hip pain and pelvic floor instability. I had tried stretching, yoga, massage and PT prior to trying MFR. Since receiving MFR treatment, squats and deadlifts feel better. I have better continence with stress (sneezing, laughing, jumping). I also feel I have more tools to “treat myself” when something new comes up. My understanding of my body and fascia has made it easier to continue my healing on my own.
Before I tried it, I thought MFR might hurt but it didn’t and I found it very relaxing. I was surprised at how much emotional processing and release I got from a body-based treatment.”
