What it means for you

Pelvic floor physical therapy is aimed at muscle tone. Usually works on muscle tone and tension: release and down-training, or strengthening.

  • Nothing you ticked is aimed at muscle tone.

3 questions worth asking the clinician suggesting it

  1. Nothing aimed at muscle tone has had a fair trial yet. What would a fair trial of pelvic floor physical therapy look like: how long, and what result would count?
  2. What would tell us pelvic floor physical therapy is working, and when should we stop if it isn't?

Not medical advice. What you tick stays on this device; the share link doesn't include it.
