Intrinsi Calgary for Pelvic Floor Exercises

If you’ve had a baby recently, or ever actually, you might have discovered your pelvic floor or lack thereof. Peeing when you sneeze, pelvic discomfort, incontinence, and other unwanted symptoms of pelvic dysfunction can leave you feeling like you’re not yourself. Despite the lack of talk about this common postpartum contender, it is indeed prevalent and absolutely treatable. While most symptoms can ease after two months postpartum as pelvic muscles heal and become stronger on their own, some pelvic floors can use a little help beyond Kegels to be strong again. But how do you build your pelvic floor again? No, not by hitting the gym; you need an appointment at Intrinsi.

Why is preventative Pelvic Floor Health Physical Therapy important?

It is important to address symptoms before they develop into more chronic and persistent concerns. More pregnant women in Calgary are being referred to pelvic health physiotherapists by their doctors than ever before, as proper physical therapy for pelvic health muscles can help prevent and manage common pelvic health issues that arise during and after pregnancy.

Preventative measures also include addressing annoying symptoms that you may have been experiencing for years. Often these small inconveniences are a sign of a system that is not functioning at its best and can have implications for your health further down the road.

What does physiotherapy do for the pelvic health that a doctor doesn’t?

Physiotherapists with special training in pelvic health are experienced at assessing and treating joints, soft tissue, and movement patterns that may be dysfunctional or contribute to symptoms in the low back, hips, or abdomen. The focus of pelvic health physiotherapy is to gain a thorough understanding of the root causes of what brings you in and develop strategies to manage and recover from your symptoms. Physiotherapists trained in pelvic health work hand in hand with your doctor, striving to improve your overall health through a combination of supportive strategies.

Whether you consider it a medical necessity or an act of luxury self-care, you won’t regret entrusting Intrinsi with your pelvic floor. You can book your appointment in person or over the phone.
