Pelvic floor physical therapy is the assessment and treatment of a wide variety of pelvic floor dysfunctions. It is important to know that pelvic floor dysfunctions can affect women after and during pregnancy, but it can also affect the older population, women who have not had children, as well as men. Pelvic floor does not discriminate, it can affect anyone, and there is no need to be embarrassed. This is a very personal type of therapy that you build a close relationship with your therapist, in which trust and respect is of the utmost importance.
