What is Pelvic Rehabilitation?
The pelvic floor is a system of muscles, ligaments, tissue, and nerves arranged at the bottom of the pelvis that form a hammock supporting the organs inside of your pelvic cavity. Physical therapists address these tissues to see whether they are working efficiently through a series of ongoing strategies within a treatment plan.
