Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation: The Life-Changing Treatment Every Woman Should Know About

Why Your Pelvic Floor Matters More Than You Think

How many times have you actually:

• Crossed your legs when sneezing to avoid leaks?
• Said "not tonight" because sex felt uncomfortable?
• Wondered if constant pelvic pressure was normal?

• 
  

You're not alone. 

1 in 3 women experience pelvic floor dysfunction—however, most of them are suffering in silence, believing that:

❌ "Leaking is just part of being a mom"

❌ "Pain during sex is normal"

❌ "There's no solution for this" 

 

The truth? Pelvic floor rehabilitation can be life-changing. Let’s break down what it is, who needs it, and how it works.

Pelvic floor is a hammock of muscles, ligaments, and nerves that:
✅ Keeps your bladder, uterus, and rectum in place
✅ Controls bathroom urges (no more rushing to the toilet!)
✅ Makes intimacy comfortable (and pleasurable)
✅ Supports your core and posture

How It Goes Wrong?

1. Weak Pelvic Floor (Hypotonic)

Symptoms:

• Leaking when laughing, sneezing, or exercising (stress incontinence)
• Feeling heaviness or bulging in the vagina (pelvic organ prolapse)
• Difficulty reaching orgasm

Causes: 

• Pregnancy,  
• Aging, 
• Chronic coughing,  
• Prolonged sitting.

2. Overactive Pelvic Floor (Hypertonic)

 Symptoms:

• Pain during or after sex (vaginismus, burning sensation)
• Chronic pelvic pain (often misdiagnosed as endometriosis)
• Trouble fully emptying your bladder or bowels

Causes: 

• Trauma (physical or emotional), 
• Excessive Kegels/ Wrong technique on Kegel

3. Post-Surgical or Postpartum Issues

• C-section scars, episiotomies, or hysterectomies can cause adhesions, numbness, or lingering pain.

  
  

  Who Needs Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation?

  ✔ New moms (Vaginal or C-section—both need rehab!)
  ✔ Women with pain during sex
  ✔ Anyone who has urinary incontinence
  

  
  

  
  

  In nutshell, Pelvic floor health is important as it impacts on:

1. Social confidence
2. Intimate relationships
3. The ability to enjoy life without worry
4. Long-term health

 This isn't "just part of being a woman."
