Management and Prevention of Bowel Dysfunction by Physiotherapy

 

Pelvic floor dysfunction may also be caused by some procedures, such as those for rectum or anus cancer, haemorrhoids, or abscesses. Bowel dysfunction may also be caused by childbirth methods such as forceps or vacuum delivery, episiotomy, or a tear in the perineum during giving birth. Nerve damage to the pelvic floor muscles, intestines, or bladder may also result in dysfunction.

What role does physiotherapy at London Bridge plays in the treatment of bowel dysfunction?

Physiotherapy aids in the maintenance of healthy pelvic floor muscles. To give the optimal treatment regimen, the physiotherapist collaborates with the other professionals. Because bowel dysfunction may be caused by a variety of reasons, there are a variety of treatment options available. The patient is initially evaluated by physiotherapists to determine the most effective and personalised treatment plan.

Breathing via the diaphragm

Like a piston, the diaphragm and pelvic floor muscles are connected. The patient is instructed to hold his breath, which prevents the diaphragm from moving and, as a result, the pelvic floor muscles from relaxing, enabling the patient to defecate. The therapist instructs on how to breathe properly in order to defecate properly.

Exercises for the Pelvic Floor Muscles

To support the rectum, pelvic floor muscle strengthening activities are performed. The sphincters are a collection of muscles that regulate bowel continence. Incontinence may be caused by weak pelvic floor muscles. Controlling bowel motions may be achieved by doing strengthening exercises. This is accomplished by contracting the sphincter muscles in the same way that one would halt a bowel movement. Hold for a count of 10 while squeezing hard, then relax for a count of 10.
