Symptoms

Common Symptoms of Pelvic Floor Dysfunction

People with pelvic floor dysfunctions often report various symptoms. Pain or discomfort in the lower back, pelvic region, genitals, or rectum is a common issue. Frequent urination, struggles with bowel movements, and uncontrolled leakage of urine or feces could also indicate a problem with the pelvic floor.

Symptom Variability

While some individuals may experience only one of these symptoms, others might experience multiple symptoms depending on the severity. Women can experience pain during sexual intercourse, while men might find it harder to maintain an erection. Remember, pelvic floor dysfunction can affect anyone, regardless of gender or age.

Warning Signs for Professional Help

If these symptoms persist for an extended period or interfere with your daily activities, it’s time to seek professional help. A specialist can guide you through personalised treatment options, which may include exercises, medication, or in some cases, surgery.

Causes

Understanding the root causes of Pelvic Floor Dysfunction (PFD) is paramount in addressing this common yet often misunderstood issue. With that in mind, let’s explore these causes in detail.

Common Causes of Pelvic Floor Dysfunction

Physical Stress: Activities like persistent heavy lifting or high impact sports can prompt PFD.

Age: Aging reduces muscle strength including the pelvic floor muscles, heightening the risk.

Childbirth: Pregnancy and delivery can overstretch and damage these muscles.

Common Factors in Pelvic Floor Dysfunction

Obesity: Extra weight puts constant pressure on the pelvic floor muscles.

Nerve Damage: If nerves in the pelvic area are damaged or impaired, it can lead to dysfunction.

Constipation: Chronic straining during bowel movements can weaken or damage pelvic floor muscles over time.

Treatment at Studioathletica Clinic

Moving on to the treatment options available for those struggling with Pelvic Floor Dysfunction at our prestigious Push Pounds Sports Medicine Centre in Toronto. We amalgamate state-of-the-art techniques and personalized care to ensure optimum results.

Viscosupplementation & Hyaluronic Acid Injection is one of our cutting-edge treatment options. Through this treatment, we introduce a gel-like fluid directly into the pelvic area to alleviate pain and discomfort.

We also provide Regenerative Medicine services, which involve using your body’s natural healing ability to restore function and reduce pain.

When other treatments aren’t effective, Orthopaedic Surgery might be the recommendation. Our team of skilled surgeons uses minimally invasive techniques whenever possible to help ensure a faster recovery.

In some cases, Interventional Radiology is used as a comfortable, non-surgical treatment for Pelvic Floor Dysfunction. This procedure involves tiny injections that target specific areas.

DUROLANE, SYNVISC, and NSTRIDE INJECTIONS, or PRP INJECTION have proven to be highly efficacious. These injections, administered directly in the problematic area, assist the body in repairing the damage through natural processes.

Complementary therapies such as Chiropractic care, Physiotherapy, RMT Massage, Massage Therapy and Acupuncture significantly contribute to overall pain relief and physical rehabilitation. These holistic approaches work synergistically with the aforementioned treatments, promoting a faster recovery while enhancing the general wellbeing of our patients.

At the Push Pounds Sports Medicine Centre in Toronto, we are dedicated to your healing journey. With our team of experts and comprehensive treatment options, we are here to help you regain your health and live free from pain.

As a lawyer, living downtown, it is difficult to carve out time for physical therapy. However, I have to emphatically recommend Dr. Germann at Push Pounds Sports Medicine. Attention to detail, friendly, and an excellent communicator are a few of the superb qualities you will experience. Highly recommend; your spine will thank you.

I had an injury in my disc that was life altering. I had pain 24/7 and I could no longer live my normal life. I couldn’t sit at work, no more sports, gym, exercise and I gained a lot of weight. I went to many physio sessions, chiro’s, RMT, cold bats, etc at other clinics, but I was still in pain. I decided that I needed a real plan to get control over my life. I asked around and I was referred to Studio Pushpounds. My friends indicated NBA players, EPL, NHL players fly and/or come here for treatment when they are in Toronto. If the best of the world trusts this clinic, then it would surely be good enough for me. My doctor was Dr. Darrin Germann. Dr. German is my hero. He spent time to properly diagnose my issue and create a gameplan that was altered after every session based on progression. Every time I entered his room, he was reviewing our notes, and like a mad genius planning out that day’s sessions. He knows each case personally, and I could tell he was invested in my health. And in turn, I put in my 100% efforts to what he wanted me to do not just in the clinic, but outside of it. I’m now back in the gym, swimming, and pain free. If you are dedicated to fixing your problems, I highly recommend you see Dr. Germann. Dr. Germanns character is class, and he is very professional. The man is a stud and a great inspiration and a role model you need when going through injuries. He does what he preaches, and it shows in his own physique and lifestyle in terms of diet and workouts. He is going to do big things in his field and if you are lucky enough to see him for your treatment, he is the miracle you have been looking for. Thank you, Doc., You already know how much my life quality has changed.

The Push Pounds Sports Medicine Team is incredible! We researched four different clinics before choosing Push Pounds and deciding on Josh Irwanto as the main physiotherapist for our teen’s ACL recovery. The attention and level of care from the start of our recovery program was remarkable. Josh and Peter (second physiotherapist team member) took the time to explain the recovery plan while demonstrating compassion and understanding along the complete process. Our child felt motivated, supported and driven to work hard. Our family has immense gratitude towards the Push Pounds team and their knowledge + professionalism towards their patients recovery goals. Our teen is back playing on the field healthier and stronger than ever. A million thanks to Josh and his entire team!

If you’re recovering from an injury of ANY kind, look no further, Push Pounds/Studio Athletica is the ONLY place to go. After a nasty proximal humerus fracture, I was at a loss when it came time to start rehab. After endless searching and coming across Studio Athletica online, I found Physiotherapist Josh and decided to start my healing journey. Josh (alongside every single one of the support staff) has been an integral part of my healing not only physically, but mentally as well. You don’t really know the effects of a bad injury has on your entire wellbeing until it happens to you. And at 35 and never having broken a bone, I thought I was in the clear. ;) Josh’s dedication to my progress each week was what kept my spirits up. He knew when to push me and when not to and provided endless encouragement along the way. Physiotherapy included a combination of treatments on the table as well as mobility and strengthening in the gym. After months of this combo and being diligent about my at-home exercises, I’m confident in saying that I have my arm/shoulder back and I couldn’t be more thrilled. I must add.. during the time I was rehabilitating my shoulder, I had some foot injuries along the way. After an assessment from Josh during an appointment, he said that Chiropractor Dr. Germann was the person I should see. Everything that I said about Josh above can be echoed about Dr. G. Another gem of a human and incredibly knowledgeable about the craft of healing. Safe to say a have two working feet and back to walking many, many km’s a day. Long story short, if you want a dedicated team, top of the line treatment options, and a gym with all the equipment you could ever need, Push Pounds/ Studio Athletica is the place for you.

Late last year I developed achilles pain that was impacting my ability to play high-level sports so I was referred to Dr. Darrin Germann at Push Pounds/Studio Athletica. I saw Dr. Darrin weekly and the sessions were split between gym exercises (the facility is brand-new and has a fully equipped gym with turf) and treatments which allowed for a more holistic approach to my recovery. Dr. Darrin always had a game-plan ready for the day based on how I was feeling that week and adjusted as needed. He got me back on my feet playing on the national team for Ultimate frisbee within 4 months! The entire team is welcoming, friendly and well-organized. I can’t recommend it enough!
