Where are the pelvic floor muscles located? Not a problem at all as long as they reliably fulfil their tasks. The pelvic floor, which consists of muscles and connective tissue, has three functions:.
Both sexes experience the pelvic floor muscles to become weaker over time. Overweight, physical overload, poor posture and operations in the pelvic area can be further reasons for a flaccid pelvic floor. Women usually struggle with difficulties after pregnancy and childbirth.
According to studies Nygaard et al. After multiple birth, Urinary incontinence is only one of the problems caused by a weakened pelvic floor. Stool incontinence, flatulence, bladder, uterus and intestinal prolapse also occur as well as various sexual problems such as pain during sexual intercourse dyspareunia or vaginal cramps vaginismus. With professional guidance, the muscles hidden in the abdomen can be trained well. Based on a conversation and a detailed check-up, we determine the goals of the therapy.
Our specialized physiotherapists use a wide range of methods. These include relaxation exercises and techniques for targeted strengthening of the pelvic floor muscles.
Modern technology is a great help. With so-called biofeedback, muscle contraction can be measured objectively. A probe inserted into the vagina or anus measures if and how tense the pelvic floor muscles are. The technology not only helps with diagnosis, but also with therapy. Electrostimulation stimulates the pelvic floor muscles with weak electrical impulses. Depending on the type and strength of the muscle tension, the impulses become stronger or weaker.
