Post-Surgical Pelvic Health

Services

This category of health challenges can affect comfort, mobility, and confidence in daily life. At Pelvic Reset Therapy, we aim for gentle recovery, pain relief, and restoring optimal function after surgery. We provide tailored treatment plans that address scar tissue, muscle imbalances, and movement restrictions, helping you return to the life you love.

The Pelvic Reset Therapy Approach

We provide a range of post-surgical pelvic health plans that target the problems that can arise in the pelvic area after a surgical procedure. We provide you with comprehensive care plans through specialized therapies, education, and ongoing support.

Conditions We Treat

Hysterectomy: The surgical procedure of uterus (womb) removal can significantly affect your pelvic health, which can be frightening. Our treatments strengthen pelvic floor muscles and reduce the chances of a prolapse.

Endometriosis Excision: The surgical procedure involves the removal of endometrial tissue that has grown outside the uterus, and can often cause pelvic pain and other symptoms, which can be difficult to manage. Our treatments focus on managing pain and discomfort while also preventing potential complications such as scar tissue or adhesions.

Colorectal Surgery: The surgical procedure focuses on treating conditions of the colon and rectum. However, it comes with the risk of long-term complications. Our treatments focus on addressing these potential issues and providing a sense of well-being.

Post-Prostatectomy Pelvic Dysfunction: When there are multiple impairments in pelvic floor function after a prostatectomy (the surgical removal of the prostate), it can impact your state of well-being. Our treatment plans include pelvic floor physical therapy and biofeedback techniques to better control pelvic floor muscles.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I manage constipation or bowel issues after surgery?

Among all the methods to manage constipation or bowel issues after surgery, pelvic floor therapy techniques provide you with great results. The range of techniques helps you coordinate abdominal pressure with pelvic floor muscle relaxation for easier bowel movement, restore normal bowel habits, and reduce discomfort during recovery.

When can I start pelvic floor exercises, and how do I do them safely?

Your healthcare professional will inform you when it is safe to start pelvic floor exercises, often after the initial healing process. Your therapist will ensure you use the correct technique, monitor for any pain, and adjust the routine as needed to support safe and effective recovery.

How does pelvic floor therapy help with post-surgical recovery and scar tissue?

Pelvic floor therapy helps restore strength, flexibility, and function to the muscles and tissues affected by surgery. Manual techniques and scar tissue mobilization can reduce tightness, improve circulation, and promote healing in the scar area.

Is it normal to have pain, swelling, or spotting after surgery?

Some pain, swelling, or spotting is normal after pelvic surgery, especially in the first few weeks. Pelvic floor therapy can help manage pain and swelling by improving circulation, reducing muscle tension, and supporting tissue healing.

When can I safely resume exercise or return to work?

The timeline for resuming exercise or returning to work depends on the type of surgery and your personal recovery. Generally, light activities and pelvic floor exercises can begin a few weeks post-surgery.
