Embracing Pelvic Health

We understand that pelvic health is an essential component of overall well-being and should never be a taboo topic.

At BIÂN, we understand that pelvic health is an essential component of overall well-being and should never be a taboo topic. Pelvic floor dysfunction can manifest in various ways, impacting voiding, defecation, pelvic organ prolapse (POP), sexual function, and pelvic pain. Our Pelvic Health Program offers a holistic approach to address these issues through Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy, focusing on functional retraining to enhance muscle strength, endurance, power, and relaxation.

Addressing the Multifaceted Nature of Pelvic Floor Dysfunction

Our Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy program is designed to improve symptoms and enhance the quality of life for individuals experiencing pelvic floor dysfunction. By tailoring the treatment to meet the unique needs of each patient, we empower individuals to actively participate in their pelvic health journey. Through functional retraining, we aim to enhance pelvic floor muscle strength, endurance, power, and relaxation, providing a comprehensive solution to multifaceted pelvic health challenges.

Postpartum Care: Restoring Strength and Function

Pregnancy and childbirth can strain the pelvic floor muscles, leading to issues such as pelvic pain and sexual dysfunction. Our Pelvic Floor PT program focuses on rehabilitating these muscles through targeted exercises, manual therapy techniques, and feedback mechanisms to enhance strength, coordination, and function. Whether it's post-vaginal or cesarean delivery, our therapy helps women recover from pelvic floor trauma by promoting healing, reducing inflammation, and restoring strength and function to the pelvic floor muscles.

Enhancing Voiding and Defecation Function

Issues with urinary and fecal incontinence, urgency, frequency, hesitancy, or retention can stem from pelvic floor muscle dysfunction. Our treatments target these challenges by improving the coordination and control of pelvic floor muscles during bladder and bowel function. Through a tailored regimen of exercises, feedback mechanisms, and behavioral strategies, patients learn to regulate urinary and bowel habits effectively, strengthen weak muscles, and relax overactive ones to improve voiding and defecation function.

Managing Pelvic Organ Prolapse with Strength and Support

Pelvic Organ Prolapse occurs when pelvic organs descend or protrude due to weakened pelvic floor support. Our treatment strategy focuses on strengthening the pelvic floor muscles to provide better support for the pelvic organs, reducing symptoms of prolapse and preventing further progression. Central to POP management are exercises targeting pelvic floor strength, endurance, and coordination, offering a comprehensive approach to pelvic organ support.

Alleviating Pelvic Pain and Enhancing Comfort

Chronic pelvic pain can have diverse causes within the pelvic region, including muscle tension, nerve sensitivity, or inflammation. Our Pelvic Floor PT techniques, such as manual therapy, stretching, relaxation exercises, and pain management strategies, work towards alleviating pelvic pain. By restoring proper muscle function, improving blood flow, and reducing muscle tension, our treatment plans help patients manage and reduce pelvic pain symptoms effectively.

Improving Sexual Function and Intimacy

Sexual dysfunction linked to pelvic floor issues can impact intimacy and quality of life. Our PFPT program targets sexual difficulties by enhancing muscle tone and control, reducing pain, and increasing awareness of pelvic sensations during sexual activity. Therapists also offer education on sexual anatomy, arousal, and relaxation techniques to improve sexual function and foster intimacy.

At BIÂN, we believe that pelvic health is an integral part of overall wellness and should be openly discussed and addressed. Our Pelvic Health Program offers a compassionate and comprehensive approach to addressing pelvic floor dysfunction, empowering individuals to embrace their pelvic health and well-being.
