Your pelvic floor is one of the most important yet often overlooked parts of your body. From supporting core stability to controlling bladder and bowel function, the pelvic floor muscles play a vital role in your daily life. At Fit Club NY’s Astoria location, Dr. Erica Moore, DPT, specializes in pelvic floor therapy tailored to women at every stage of life—whether you’re pregnant, postpartum, or simply looking to optimize your pelvic health.
Here’s why pelvic floor therapy is essential and how it can help you thrive.
Why the Pelvic Floor Matters
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles and tissues that form a supportive base at the bottom of your pelvis. These muscles:
- Support internal organs like the bladder, uterus, and rectum.
- Help maintain continence (bladder and bowel control).
- Play a role in sexual health and comfort.
- Provide stability to your core and lower back during movement.
When these muscles are too tight, too weak, or out of balance, it can lead to issues like pain, incontinence, and reduced quality of life.
How Pelvic Floor Therapy Helps
Pelvic floor therapy is a personalized approach to addressing issues in this critical area. Here’s how it can make a difference:
1. Pre-Natal Support
During pregnancy, the body undergoes significant changes, placing stress on the pelvic floor. Therapy helps by:
- Preparing your pelvic floor for childbirth.
- Reducing discomfort from pelvic pain or pressure.
- Teaching breathing and relaxation techniques to support labor.
2. Post-Natal Recovery
After childbirth, many women experience pelvic floor challenges, whether from vaginal delivery, C-section, or postpartum strain. Therapy aids in:
- Rebuilding pelvic floor strength and function.
- Addressing incontinence or discomfort.
- Improving core stability and alignment for daily activities.
3. General Pelvic Floor Health
Even outside of pregnancy and postpartum, pelvic floor therapy benefits women experiencing:
- Pain during sex.
- Chronic pelvic pain.
- Issues with bladder control.
