Did You Know...
An injury to the pelvis in the past can affect your pelvic floor function?
A lower back injury, stiffness and pain to the sacroiliac joint, affects the pelvic ring. This injury can occur from lifting and twisting, getting rear-ended in your car, and from a difficult and traumatic labor and delivery. Inflammation from the joints as well as reduced mobility to the sacroiliac joint can cause increased tension to one side of the pelvic floor. This tension presents as weakness and symptoms can vary from stress incontinence, back, hip, pelvic or lower abdominal pain, and even constipation. Past abdominal surgery can cause scar tissue and be a cause of lower abdominal and pelvic pain.
Your core muscles are important for pelvic health!
Any pelvic or back injury and pain will inhibit your core. Poor core function creates tension in other muscle groups like your lower back, side hip muscles, and can affect the pelvic floor muscles.
A well rounded pelvic health treatment plan includes analysis and help to get your core muscles working again.
What symptoms and signs should you look for?
Increased urgency to urinate
You feel that your frequency to pee is higher than it should be. You get home and have to go to the bathroom as soon as you walk in the door. You are afraid to drink too much before you go to bed.
You are embarrassed or frustrated that you 'dribble' urine when you exercise.
Constipation can be related to...
A problem to the pelvic ring, for example from a past injury or trauma, can cause abnormal tension to the pelvic floor. This can make it harder to have a bowel movement and causing you to strain or work harder.
Pain and tension in the back or pelvis
Do you have localized pain to any part of the pelvis, lower back or hips? Whether this pain is constant or comes and goes a negative affect on your pelvic floor can occur.
Injury to the pelvic floor and pelvis because of a difficult labor and delivery.
A difficult labor and delivery can cause damage to your pelvic ring, injuring the sacroiliac joints and even the pubic symphysis. Pain is commonly present at our 'dimples' at our lower back and just inside this area. Another area to check is where your pubic bones meet, the pubic symphysis. Pain to these areas tell us that there is a problem and testing is recommended to determine the cause.
Iliotibial Band or IT Band tension is also a sign that there is a pelvic problem and muscle imbalance.
