All of our force and activity passes in some way through our pelvic floor. It is the source of our stability (along with our feet), elimination, and reproductive energies. Our fascia, muscle, and nervous systems have many binding points on the sacrum, pelvis, and pelvic floor. When these points and their corresponding muscles, nerve, tendons and ligaments become restricted, dysfunction of the pelvic floor can occur. That can appear as pain, organ prolapse, sexual difficulties including erectile dysfunction, painful intercourse (male and female), bladder pain, hemorrhoids, frequent or difficult urination, and can have systemic effects throughout the body. Emotions and trauma can also be locked in our pelvic floor, appearing as physical issues awaiting release and processing.
Working directly with the muscles, nerves, ligaments, tendons, and fascia of the pelvic floor and surrounding areas using trigger point needling, we are able to relieve the tension built up over the years and either loosen or strengthen the appropriate muscles to free up the flow of blood and relieve nerve pressure to alleviate pain and improve function.
Sexual health and function are greatly affected by the health of the pelvic floor and our thoughts and emotions. Releasing muscles in the pelvic floor and neuromodulating the nerves, we can increase blood flow and function and even counteract the side effects of some medications that contribute to sexual dysfunction.
