What is Pelvic Floor Therapy?
Pelvic floor therapy helps patients practice relaxing and coordinating the muscles used for bowel movements. It is considered after a clinical exam or anorectal manometry suggests a coordination problem. Care may include guided sessions and a home exercise plan.
Who it may help
Patients with pelvic floor dysfunction, fecal incontinence, or pelvic symptoms that have not improved with the first treatments tried. Your gastroenterologist decides whether therapy fits your history and test results.
What sessions involve
A clinician guides muscle exercises during the visit and reviews progress over later appointments. The number of sessions depends on the condition. Therapy is one part of care and is adjusted if symptoms do not change.
