As women's health physiotherapists, we are frequently educating women about pelvic health. Many women suffer from weak pelvic floor muscles and, as a result, experience a wide range of symptoms that indicate urinary or gynaecological problems. Some of these include pain, bladder or bowel issues and even sexual dysfunction.
For those women, treatment plans will include exercises to strengthen the pelvic muscles to give their internal organs the support they need.
But did you know that the opposite problem can also cause difficulty with pelvic floor dysfunction?
A hypertonic pelvic floor happens when the pelvic muscles are overactive.
In this article, we'll identify the symptoms of an overactive pelvic floor and discuss causes and treatment.
