PELVIC-CURIOUS?
SHOULD YOU GET A PELVIC FLOOR ASSESSMENT?
You don’t have to wait for a problem to arise to get a pelvic floor muscle assessment.
Many pelvic floor muscle dysfunctions are preventable. Getting a pelvic floor muscle assessment before problems arise is better to prevent them from ever happening in the first place!
You can be proactive in your health. You do not need to wait for there to be a problem, you do not need a diagnosis to prove “medical necessity”, and you do not need a doctor’s referral to give you permission to get preventative care. You can schedule an appointment with a pelvic floor therapist for the sake of education, information, knowledge, and empowerment.
Preventable pelvic floor dysfunctions include pelvic organ prolapse, stress urinary incontinence, constipation, perineal tearing during childbirth, and more!
Your body, your needs, your therapy. At Studio Rehab, we believe in creating a treatment plan that is specific to you. A preventative pelvic floor muscle assessment will include posture and movement analysis, hip and low back joint mobility and range of motion, lower extremity muscle length and flexibility, strength tests, and pelvic floor muscle assessment to evaluate connective tissue, muscle integrity, strength, endurance, coordination, and function relevant to your personal needs.
