Creating Pelvic Floor Health: The PhysioYoga Approach: Plano, TX

“Creating Pelvic Floor Health: The PhysioYoga Approach”

Your pelvic floor plays an important role not only in bladder + bowel function, but also in sexual function, breathing, reproduction, hip and spinal stability and more. Research is showing pelvic floor dysfunctions can also be present with issues such as hip, SIJ, or back pain, IBS, balance dysfunctions, anxiety, depression, and more.
Unfortunately, pelvic health issues such as urinary frequency, urgency, leakage, constipation, pelvic pain, organ prolapse and sexual health issues are commonly poorly addressed or often left untreated in both women and men.
