Pelvic floor physical therapy (PFPT) is the same as orthopedic physical therapy but specifically targets the pelvis and pelvic floor area. It focuses on treating issues related to pelvic pain, the functions of urinary, bowel, and sexual health through assessment and treatment of the muscles, nerves, connective tissue and joints of the pelvis and pelvic floor. The muscles and soft tissue of the pelvic floor support and help facilitate proper functioning of the pelvic organs, such as the bladder, uterus, and prostate. Just like muscles in other parts of your body, pelvic floor muscles contract, relax, and open and lengthen, providing strength, stability, and flexibility, both in isolation and coordination with other parts of the body.
Orthopedic physical therapy focuses on the treatment of musculoskeletal issues, including injuries or conditions affecting bones, muscles, joints, ligaments, and tendons. Through targeted exercises, manual therapy, and personalized care plans, orthopedic physical therapy supports recovery and enhances overall physical performance, enabling patients to get back to daily living and return to sport.
