Postnatal Pelvic Floor Therapy

Following the arrival of a new, precious baby, concerns often arise that surround the health of the infant.  Unfortunately, little attention is given to the mother with respect to her muscles that surround her pelvic floor which are now stretched. As a result, she may experience postpartum incontinence. Pelvic Floor Therapy plays an important and crucial role with postnatal health and wellness.  

Stress incontinence, which is the most common type of incontinence, is a prevalent problem occurring after childbirth.  This is because the sphincter muscles controlling urine discharge  incur some damage which can cause urine discharge with minor movement.  Pelvic floor therapists help postpartum women who are experiencing this problem by assigning exercises that help bring the muscles surrounding the pelvic floor back under control.  If you’re experiencing postpartum incontinence, please contact our office for more information and schedule your pelvic floor assessment today at 864-534-1780!

Children and Bedwetting

Sadly, bed-wetting in the United States is a common problem among children that affects 5 million kids.  If your child suffers from this problem do not fear! His Therapy is here to help and will walk beside you to resolve this embarrassing problem your child may experience.  His Therapy creates a fun, motivating, and exciting treatment plan that educates, councils, encourages, and offers biofeedback.  Biofeedback traces the contraction and relaxation of the muscles that surround the pelvic floor using electromyography (EMG). Pelvic physical therapy has been shown to be an effective treatment method for those struggling with bed-wetting.  We would love to answer any questions that you may have, so for more information or to schedule an appointment, call His Therapy at 864-534-1780 today!

Develop Your Gift

….daily devotional by Joyce Meyer
We can’t wait to share with you where God is leading His Therapy.
Stay tuned for our new beginnings Dec. 1st!

If we don’t develop our potential it won’t get developed, because no one else can do it for us.  Find out what you want to do and begin to train yourself for it.  If you know you can write great songs, develop your gift; arrange your life so you can write songs.  If you know you can lead worship, then practice, learn music, sing with all your mind and heart, and believe.  Begin leading worship, even if you start with only you and the cat or you and your children.  If you know you have a talent for business, an ability to make money, then study, pray, go to school and STEP OUT!

Whatever your gift and calling, entrust it to the Lord and be relentless in pursuit of reaching your full potential.  In some way we should improve ourselves every day.  We should go forward, letting go of what lies behind, including past mistakes and past victories.  Even hanging on to the glory of past victories can prevent us from being all God wants us to be in the future.  Never be satisfied with being anything less than all you can be.  

Prayer:  Lord I recognize that I am responsible to develop and use the talents You have
placed within me.  Give me wisdom on the best way to go about it.  Amen!

By Sabina Kapasi Dry Needling

Dry Needling – What is it?

Dry needling is a treatment that involves a very thin needle being pushed through the skin to stimulate a trigger point. Dry needling releases the tight muscle bands associated with trigger points and leads to decreased pain, improved function, and speeds up the recovery process. 

Trigger points are irritable, hard “knots” within a muscle that may cause pain over a large area, leading to difficulty performing everyday tasks. When a person has painful muscles and trigger points, it is sometimes called myofascial pain syndrome.
 
Myofacial Trigger points are a common type of pain. The word myofascial means muscle tissue and the connective tissue in and around it. These trigger points are usually the result of a muscle injury, resulting from repetitive strain. They are painful when pressed on and can create pain in another area as well, which is called referred pain.

Dry Needling is becoming a popular modality in medical practices, as musculoskeletal complaints are one of the most reported reasons to seek medical attention. Because contractures and trigger points are invisible to X-rays, MRI, CT’s, a Dry Needling Therapist can “feel” with the needle and utilize it as a diagnostic instrument. Contractures deep in the muscles can be felt with the needle via feedback on the quality of the tissues that it is penetrating.

For more information, please call our office to set up a consultation on the phone or set up an initial evaluation in our office.  Call His Therapy at 864-534-1780 today! 

Have a Blessed Day!

By Sabina Kapasi Pelvic Health, Prolapse

Pelvic Organ Prolapse

Pelvic organ prolapse, defined as protrusion of the Pelvic organs (uterus, bladder or rectum) into the vagina, is a common but often overlooked problem.  Two large epidemiologic studies – the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) and a Kaiser Permanente study – evaluated the incidence of pelvic organ prolapse among a wide range of women.  The WHI, which followed more than 160,000 postmenopausal women ages 50-70, documented pelvic organ prolapse in 41% of women who had not undergone hysterectomy and in 38% of women who had undergone the procedure.  Kaiser Permanente’s epidemiology of Prolapse and Incontinence Questionnaire (EPIQ), documented self-reported pelvic organ Prolapse in 7% of 4,458 respondents ages 25 to 84. 

Pelvic Organ Prolapse occurs when the pelvic floor muscle (levator ani) weakens and allows the pelvic organs to bulge into the vaginal cavity.  In its early stages, the condition often produces no symptoms.  As the pelvic floor muscle weakens, prolapse worsens and leads to urinary and fecal symptoms. 
 
Management Options 
  Surgery is the only definitive therapy for pelvic organ prolapse, but it is often imperfect.  That’s because the repair of one vaginal compartment may predispose another compartment to develop prolapse.  In addition, the integrity of pelvic floor innervation and muscle strength can affect surgical outcome.  This conclusion is supported by the fact that approximately one-third of procedures for pelvic organ prolapse are repeat operations. 

Nonsurgical Treatment Options for Pelvic Organ Prolapse are: 
Pelvic floor muscle exercises (PFME) 
For women who are unable to perform PFME, biofeedback 
Space-occupying devices (tampons, pessaries, etc.) 
Behavioral modification 
            Avoidance of heavy lifting     Maintenance of a healthy weight 
            Avoidance of constipation     Avoidance of chronic coughing 
 
The Colpexin Sphere 
A new intravaginal device, the Colpexin Sphere, offers a unique option for conservative management.  The Colpexin Sphere, which became available in the United States in 2006, supports the pelvic floor muscle and facilitates performance of PFME. The device is a medical-grade polycarbonate sphere with a locator string that is fitted above the hymenal ring to support the pelvic floor muscle. 
 
Pelvic Organ Prolapse is a significant clinical issue among women of all ages, and it often results in discomfort, altered lifestyle and urinary incontinence.  The Colpexin Sphere, which provides pelvic organ support and facilitates pelvic floor muscle strengthening, is an efficacious and conservative management option that should be considered for women with urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse.
