The pelvic floor and surrounding muscles are critical in the bathroom to help empty your bladder. When these muscles are overactive (or tight), urgency, frequency, and difficulty emptying can result. Our PTs have curated this program with you in mind! People with interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome may also find this program helpful.
Patients can have pelvic floor dysfunction for a number of reasons, but in this video Dr. Lance Frank PT, DPT, MPH will discuss the implications of an overactive pelvic floor as it relates to incontinence, prolapse, and pelvic pain. Lance has a background in the clinical management of fitness athletes with pelvic floor dysfunction and this video will explain how pelvic floor symptoms can present in patients with fitness goals in mind.
