Pelvic Health

Unveiling the Truth for a Healthier You

Have you ever felt a discomfort “down there” that you couldn’t quite explain? A pang, a pressure, or maybe even sharp pain? Let’s face it, talking about pelvic health can be a bit…awkward. But here’s the thing: the health of your pelvic region is crucial to your overall well-being. And the more you know, the better you can address those mysterious symptoms.

At Innovative Physical Therapy Solutions in Watertown, NY, we’re all about breaking barriers, answering tough questions, and guiding you toward optimal health. Let’s dive into some of the most commonly asked questions about pelvic health.

What exactly is pelvic health?

Pelvic health pertains to the wellness of your pelvic floor muscles and the organs they support. This includes the bladder, uterus, and rectum. Healthy pelvic muscles mean you can control these organs efficiently.

Why is it essential?

A strong pelvic floor supports bodily functions like urination and bowel movements. It also plays a role during sexual activity and childbirth. When these muscles are weak or too tight, it can lead to discomfort or dysfunction.

How do I know if I have a pelvic floor dysfunction?

Some signs include persistent pelvic pain, discomfort during intimacy, leakage when you laugh or sneeze, and frequent bathroom breaks. If you’re nodding in agreement, it might be time to have a chat with a pelvic health specialist.

Where was this 20 years ago

After suffering with intense mensural cramping for my entire life a friend recommended I try Physical Therapy. Ashley has been so great to work with. Not only did I feel heard and understood by the first medical professional ever, but she seemed to anticipate and expect what I was telling her. Then much to my amazement the very simple adjustments and exercises she recommended actually helped. For the first time in my adult life I did not spend my entire cycle writhing in pain. In fact I was able to do normal everyday stuff. I would highly recommend Innovative Therapy Solutions to anyone who experiences any pelvic floor issues.

Life Changing

I came to see Dr. Ashley for an array of issues – some new following a diagnosis/surgery, some I had been living with for many years. She was amazing! She was patient and kind and very knowledgeable, making therapy comfortable and something I would look forward to. She provided me with information, exercises, tools, etc. to help with symptoms I was experiencing. I can honestly say I am in a much better place following my therapy with Dr. Ashley and would highly recommend her to anyone considering pelvic floor therapy. It is life changing!

Also, a special thanks to the ladies up front. From day one they made me feel welcome. I was always greeted with a smile! Thank you for a wonderful experience each and every time.
