01Understanding It

Understanding Pelvic Floor Dysfunction: More Common Than You Think

Did you know that up to 25% of adults experience some form of pelvic floor dysfunction? Despite its prevalence, many suffer in silence, unaware that effective treatment is available. The pelvic floor—a group of muscles supporting vital organs like the bladder, uterus or prostate, and rectum—plays a crucial role in core stability, continence, and overall well-being.

When these muscles become too tight, weak, or uncoordinated, it can lead to discomfort, pain, and disruptions in daily life. The good news? With proper diagnosis and targeted treatment, most people experience significant improvement.

02Signs & Symptoms

Signs You May Need Pelvic Floor physical and occupational therapy in Seacoast, NH

Recognizing these common symptoms is the first step toward recovery:

Urinary Issues: Unexpected leaks, frequent urges, or difficulty emptying the bladder
Pelvic Pain: Persistent discomfort in the lower abdomen or pelvis, pain during intimacy, or unexplained lower back pain
Bowel Changes: Constipation, straining, or the sensation of incomplete emptying
Intimate Health Concerns: Discomfort, reduced sensation, or a feeling of heaviness in the pelvic region

If you’re experiencing any of these issues, pelvic floor physical and occupational therapy may provide the relief you need.

In Their Words

Natalie is extremely thorough and was able to get to the root of my injury. I no longer have swelling and my mobility is back to normal. She gave me an exercise plan that I can use forever to remain athletic at age 63. I would highly recommend her and will continue to check in
