Episode Notes:
-
Why did Kelly look into pelvic floor PT for the first time since graduating PT school
-
It is unappreciated the number of athletes who have pelvic floor deficiencies.
-
Athletes may be particularly susceptible to PFD due to the repetitive strain and impact on their pelvic floor muscles during training and competition
-
Increased intraabdominal pressure with lifting
-
There is already a stigma surrounding the topic of PFD but it is especially evident in the athlete population, therefore, issues will go overlooked and underdiagnosed
-
-
Relationship between orthopedic injuries and pelvic floor dysfunction
-
EXAMPLE 1: DEEP CORE SYSTEM
-
EXAMPLE 2: HIP AND GROIN STRAINS
-
-
To simplify, I explain to patients the difference between the stability muscles and the moving muscles, If the stability isn’t effective, think of how much harder the movers need to work to create a strong contraction = INJURY
Refer to the specialists!
-
There are a few simple ways to incorporate things into a POC but to really provide a comprehensive treatment plan to patients whose primary diagnosis revolves around the pelvic floor, I would always resort to my Pelvic floor specialists
-
When in doubt, refer out!
Take Aways:
-
Pelvic floor physical therapy is important for athletes and orthopedic patients as it can be related to their injuries and overall function.
-
Athletes may be particularly susceptible to pelvic floor dysfunction due to the repetitive strain and impact on their pelvic floor muscles during training and competition.
-
It is important for sports and ortho PTs to recognize that it can be vital to consider the pelvic floor to provide a comprehensive treatment plan in some cases. When in doubt, refer out!
