💡 Did you know that over 600,000 hysterectomies are performed every year in the U.S.?
For many women, a hysterectomy is recommended for benign conditions like prolapse, incontinence, or pelvic pain. But here’s something many don’t realize: Pelvic floor physical therapy can often reduce or even prevent the need for surgery.
As physical therapists, we can:
✔️ Strengthen and support the pelvic floor muscles
✔️ Improve alignment and function of the pelvic organs
✔️ Help women prepare for surgery (if it truly is needed)
✔️ Empower patients with tools for long-term health
✨ Before you make a decision about surgery, make sure you explore your options. Knowledge is power.
If you’ve been told you may need a hysterectomy, consider consulting with a pelvic floor physical therapist first—you may be surprised by what’s possible.
