How Pelvic Floor Therapy Works

Pelvic floor therapy addresses dysfunction through strengthening (for weakness/incontinence), relaxation (for hypertonic/pain conditions), and coordination training. Biofeedback helps patients learn to isolate and control pelvic floor muscles they can't consciously feel.
