Why do pelvic floor problems occur?<\/h2>\n\n
Common causes of pelvic floor weakness and the resulting incontinence are:<\/p>\n\n
- \n
- Births<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Hormonal changes during the menopause that weaken the tissue<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Surgery in the pelvic area<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Chronic cough,<\/strong> obesity or constipation<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Incorrect loads and poor posture<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Lack of body awareness, e.g. due to lack of exercise<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
What can be done? Physiotherapy can provide targeted help <\/h2>\n\n
Pelvic floor therapy in physiotherapy begins with a careful consultation and a gentle examination. The aim is to restore or improve the function of the pelvic floor. We use various methods to achieve this. <\/p>\n\n
Pelvic floor therapy in physiotherapy begins with a thorough consultation and examination. The aim is to restore or improve the function of the pelvic floor. We use various methods to achieve this: <\/p>\n\n
- \n
- Awareness exercise<\/strong> Many women don’t even know exactly where their pelvic floor is or how to tense it specifically. This is the first step. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Strengthening exercises<\/strong>: Targeted exercises (also known as Kegel exercises) build up the muscles to support continence.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Relaxation and breathing<\/strong>: A tense pelvic floor can also cause problems. The right breathing technique helps you to let go. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Everyday training<\/strong>: How do I lift correctly? How do I sit in a way that protects my pelvic floor? Small changes with a big effect. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Manual techniques<\/strong>: Depending on the findings, gentle manual solutions are also used.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

Osteopathy as useful support<\/h2>\n\n
Osteopathic treatment techniques complement physiotherapeutic work very well. Especially when there are functional connections, for example between the diaphragm, pelvis, spine or internal organs, osteopathy can help to release tension and restore balance in the body. <\/p>\n\n
Visceral techniques (e.g. mobilization of the bladder or uterus) or craniosacral methods support the harmonization of the nervous system, which is partly responsible for pelvic floor control.<\/p>\n\n
We offer osteopathic support from our experienced osteopath Ben Eltner.<\/p>\n\n
Pelvic floor therapy also has a preventative effect<\/h2>\n\n
You don’t have to wait for childbirth or the onset of the menopause. Young women also benefit from a good body awareness and early training of the pelvic floor. If you know your pelvic floor and know how to use it correctly, you can often avoid incontinence altogether. <\/p>\n\n
