Did you know that May is Pelvic Pain Awareness Month? It’s a crucial time to shed light on an often misunderstood and overlooked condition affecting many individuals. If you or someone you know experiences pelvic pain, this post is for you!
Common causes of Pelvic Pain:
Pelvic pain can have various causes, including endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, interstitial cystitis, urinary tract infections, fibroids, and musculoskeletal issues. It can also stem from conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome, chronic pelvic pain syndrome, and pelvic floor dysfunction.
How can our Physio’s help?
Physiotherapists play a crucial role in the management and treatment of pelvic pain. Our team are trained and experienced in the field of pelvic health physiotherapy and offer specialised care to patients, both men and women, through:
Comprehensive Assessment: A MPG physiotherapist will conduct a thorough evaluation to identify the underlying causes of pelvic pain, considering factors such as posture, muscle imbalances, and movement patterns, allowing for an individualised treatment plan.
Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation: Pelvic pain is often associated with pelvic floor dysfunction and our Physiotherapists can provide specific exercises to strengthen or relax the pelvic floor muscles, improving muscle tone and reducing pain.
Manual Therapy Techniques: Employing hands-on techniques like myofascial release, joint mobilisations, and soft tissue manipulation, our Physios collaborate closely with you to achieve optimal pain relief and functional improvement.
Education and Self-Management Strategies: Our role extends beyond pain relief; we prioritize empowering you with knowledge. Our team equips you with valuable information on self-care techniques, lifestyle adjustments, and effective strategies for managing pelvic pain.
Collaborative Approach: We pride ourselves on patient care and surrounding you with a complete health care team. Our Physios often work as part of a multidisciplinary team, collaborating with doctors, gynaecologists, and other healthcare professionals to ensure holistic care and best outcomes for patients.
Remember, seeking help for pelvic pain is essential for your overall well-being. Reach out to our MPG team to guide you on your journey to better pelvic health.
