What To Expect From Pelvic Floor Physio ACT AU

By Carolyn Miller


It is surprising how many women don't know about their pelvic floor or how important it is. Often they only learn about it once something has gone wrong and they are forced to go to pelvic floor physio ACT AU. However it is the type of issue that is normally easy to solve and will make a significant difference to the life of the individual.

The pelvic floor controls everything in that area. It controls how and when you urinate and also sexual function. It holds in tampons during menstruation and allows the release of menses from the womb. There is a great deal going on unseen that is completely controlled by this band of muscles, so it is very important to ensure it is strong and healthy.

When it comes to bladder control the band of muscles in the pelvis control everything. Many women find that they first notice a problem in this area when they cough, sneeze or laugh suddenly. It is a terrifying feeling to know you have lost control.

It also plays an important role in sex. The tightness of this muscle will directly affect the amount of pleasure a woman gets from sex and even the strength of her orgasm. If it is loose the man will also notice during intercourse. A woman with very strong muscles will be able to squeeze them tightly at will which can significantly improve sex for both parties.

Women struggling in this area feel it in every part of their lives. So many different types of activity can be affected by it, from going shopping to walking the dog. It can become extremely embarrassing as those with a severe problem often have little bladder control and either stop going out entirely or are forced to wear incontinence protection, which is bad for self esteem and confidence.

Kegel exercises are very important. For pregnant women they should be used before and after the birth to help with strength, incontinence and control. They can be performed with no equipment, simply lying on the bed and they only take a few minutes. Lifting the pelvic floor feels similar to how it feels when you stop peeing mid stream. These muscles are then held in and slowly released.

For women wanting to go to the next level, there is some equipment that you can include in your sessions, although it is not essential. It can be done with a partner to make it a little fun. Love eggs are a form of sex toy and kegel exercise as they vibrate inside the vagina causing pleasure, but the muscles instinctively engage to hold it in place.

If these exercises are performed 2 or 3 times a day consistently, results should be felt within a few weeks. However, it can take months before any problems are resolved. It is best to try and work the exercises into your life so that you can continue to perform them forever. There is no downside to having a strong pelvic floor, so don't wait until the problems start to begin strengthening those muscles.
