  Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy Grande Prairie

  The pelvic floor consists of muscles that extend like a sling from the tailbone at the rear to the pubic bone at the forefront. This muscle group supports vital organs such as the bladder, uterus/prostate, and rectum. Pelvic Floor Dysfunction Pelvic floor dysfunction arises when these muscles are either too tight, too weak, or both. It can result from numerous factors, including childbirth, surgeries, aging, heavy lifting, chronic constipation, or trauma. This dysfunction can lead to conditions such as post-prostatectomy issues, including urinary and fecal incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse.

• Dry Needling Therapy Grande Prairie / IMS​​ Therapy

  Dry needling Therapy involves insertion and repetitive manipulation of a “dry,” solid filament needle in a trigger point in order to produce an involuntary spinal cord reflex, also known as a local twitch response (LTR). This results in lasting muscle relaxation due to the release of shortened bands of muscle fibres for overactive (tight) muscles or the activation of underactive (weak) muscles. Deactivation of the trigger points can bring immediate relief of symptoms, so the therapist can immediately train the muscles to work with the newly gained pain-free range of motion (ROM).
