Interstitial Cystitis, also known as Bladder Pain Syndrome, causes a lot of pelvic pain and discomfort. Dr. Francie James explains how she helps give patient..."I saw three different medical providers who could not find a reason for my pain, and I was referred to Provenance Rehabilitation. Jenny was compassionate and very professional. Being under her care improved my life greatly."

Cycling can be a great workout, but did you know that there is an association between cycling and pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD)? An article published not too long ago found that cyclists often struggle with one or more of the following: genital/pelvic floor pain, tenderness, neuropathy (e.g. burning, tingling, loss of sensation), urological dysfunction (like urinary leakage) and skin breakdown.

Sometimes itâs as simple as changing your bike seat or getting a fitting for your bike. If these things donât help, you may be a great candidate for pelvic floor physical therapy.

There is no reason that ALL women should not be receiving pelvic floor PT after childbirth. All you have to do is make an appointment - in most states, no referral is required for PT. PLEASE read on about the many benefits.
'Women have said they're not aware they even have a pelvic floor'
shr.gs
A LACK of understanding amongst young women about the importance of the pelvic floor - which, if weakened during childbirth can cause incontinence - is being linked to problems later inOne of the first things we purchased when my husband and I moved into our new home was a stool for each bathroom. Getting feet elevated so knees are just higher than hips when youâre on the toilet allows BMs to occurs with less straining. (Oh, and by the way straining is associated with hemorrhoids, pelvic organ prolapse, and varicose veins - yikes! đŹ)
Even if you donât typically have issues in this department, I still recommend patients give it a try. It can help you empty more fully and decrease pelvic floor muscle tension.
When our hips are less than 90°, a muscle called puborectalis creates a âkinkâ in the rectum that helps us keep stool from passing out when it shouldnât. When hips are less than 90° (aka feet elevated), this muscle relaxes, the rectum straightens and we have an easier time emptying our bowels completely.
Youâre aiming for knees above hips and leaning forward slightly with a straight spine. You definitely donât need to buy something to get this position. Get creative and use what you have - the side of a bathtub, yoga blocks, a small trash canâŚ.
Give it a try and see what a difference it makes!
