Are you suffering from chronic pain? Do other treatments seem to be ineffective? Physical therapy may help you treat and manage chronic pain without the need for invasive surgeries or potentially addictive prescription drugs. 

At Priority Care Physical Therapy in San Diego, we will perform a postural evaluation and assess you for movement and muscle imbalances that may be contributing to chronic pain conditions.

Physical therapy may help with chronic pain management in a number of ways, including: 

• Strengthening muscles and joints.
• Teaching you how to move and perform daily activities in ways that don’t aggravate old injuries or put you at risk of new injuries. 
• Re-educating your central nervous system to make it less sensitive to pain signals.
• Addressing movement dysfunction at the core of some chronic pain. 

Pelvic floor physical therapy can be helpful for patients who are dealing with pain or dysfunction of the muscles inside the pelvis. Men and women have muscles inside their pelvis and dysfunction of these muscles can present as abdominal pain, prostatitis, urinary incontinence, back pain, hemorrhoids, hip pain, low back pain, erectile dysfunction, core weakness, amongst other impairments. 

Pelvic floor physical therapy is also helpful for postpartum women to guide them back to their accustomed activity level by providing education on proper body mechanics, soft tissue work which can include scar massage, strengthening exercises, stretching, and/or recommendation for supportive garments. 

Dr. Nenny is a physical therapist who has taken extensive post-doctoral courses specifically on the pelvic floor and she is currently preparing to take the Pelvic Floor Practitioner Certification from Herman & Wallace.

Physical therapy for the pelvic floor may include: 

• Core strengthening exercises

• And much more

Physical therapy is a valuable preventive measure, especially for those who play sports, weight lift, engage in repetitive motions, or who have sore muscles. Injuries can result from repetitive motions or improper posture, and your physical therapist can show you a personalized routine of techniques and stretches that you can do to help.
