Social stigmas around pooping are weird. Why don’t we talk more openly about a natural process that every single human being does? Unfortunately, not every human being has the sweet release of a level 3 or 4 Bristol stool that passes easily and on cue every morning.
Fecal dysfunctions can be crippling and isolating. They range from constipation, and painful bowel movements, to fecal incontinence. These dysfunctions can arise due to a variety of reasons. When seeing a pelvic floor physical therapist you will learn to relax and contract the muscles of the pelvic floor and abdominals in coordination to ease the passage of stool as well as the prevention of leaking.
Oftentimes, whether you suffer from constipation or incontinence, abdominal pain and discomfort will be a symptom experienced with fecal dysfunctions. Learning proper breathing techniques in coordination with pelvic floor muscle relaxation can make a significant impact on your pain.
