Women's health conditions occur when pregnancy, childbirth, hormonal changes, or aging affect the pelvic floor and abdominal structures. Pelvic floor dysfunction happens when muscles become weak, tight, or uncoordinated, affecting urinary control, bowel function, and sexual function. When muscles lose coordination, organs may shift, causing pressure, leaking, or prolapse.
Diastasis recti occurs when abdominal muscles separate during pregnancy, creating a gap that persists after delivery. This reduces core strength and may contribute to back pain. Most women's health conditions respond to conservative physical therapy, improving coordination and function.
