What is pelvic health, and what is pelvic floor therapy?

Pelvic health is a broad term that refers to the state of well-being and optimal functioning of the structures and systems within the pelvis, including the bladder, reproductive organs, and rectum. Pelvic health involves the proper functioning and coordination of these organs, as well as the surrounding muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues.

Maintaining good pelvic health is crucial for a range of bodily functions, such as urinary and bowel control, sexual function, and support for the core and lower body. Pelvic health can influence, and be influenced by various factors, including pregnancy and childbirth, aging, trauma, hormonal changes, and certain medical conditions.

Pelvic floor therapy, also known as pelvic floor rehabilitation, more specifically refers to a specialized form of therapy conducted by occupational and physical therapists that focus on assessing and treating dysfunctions in the pelvic floor muscles. The pelvic floor muscles are a group of muscles located at the bottom of the pelvis, supporting the bladder, rectum, and reproductive organs. 

While the terms are often used interchangeably, we tend to refer to "pelvic health" to indicate a more all-encompassing approach in treating dysfunctions related to the bladder, bowels, and pain. Balanced Pelvic Health takes a whole-body, whole-person approach to healing and wellness.

What is Occupational Therapy?

Occupational therapy is a healthcare profession that helps individuals of all ages enhance their ability to engage in meaningful activities (or occupations) that are important to them. Occupational therapists work with people who have physical, cognitive, developmental, or emotional challenges that impact their everyday functioning. Through a client-centered and holistic approach, occupational therapists assess individuals' abilities, develop personalized intervention plans, and provide therapeutic techniques and strategies. This treatment approach promotes independence, improves physical and mental well-being, and facilitates participation in activities at home, school, work, and the community. The goal of occupational therapy is to enable individuals to lead fulfilling lives and achieve their maximum potential.

At Balanced Pelvic Health, we offer a comprehensive, collaborative, holistic, and integrative approach to your pelvic health and overall well-being. This may include education, mind-body techniques, exercise, manual therapies, and coaching on changing habits and routines to accomplish your goals. The journey is yours, we simply act as your guide.

Fun facts about occupational therapy: 

What are Perinatal Wellness Services?

All services start with a thorough, individualized occupational therapy evaluation. This is essential to determining your needs, and creating a program that will work best for you.

During the evaluation, if you are found not to have any risk for urinary or bowel dysfunction, no pain or other significant pelvic health related symptoms, but are simply seeking to have a great birth or postpartum experience, Balanced Pelvic Health offer Perinatal Wellness services

These packages are designed to empower, educate, and minimize the risks of complications related to pregnancy and childbirth. These services differ from pelvic floor therapy as they involve general exercise and/or activity guidelines, holistic hands-on healing sessions, and education. They do not include internal vaginal or internal rectal evaluation and treatment. These services are not typically reimbursable by insurance, but sometimes can be paid with FSA and HSA (check your program's guidelines to determine what expenses are elidible).
