Physical Therapy Helps Many Types and Causes of Constipation Including Functional Constipation, Slow Transit Constipation, Pelvic Outlet Dysfunction, Dyssynergic Defecation, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Megarectum, Pelvic Organ Prolapse, Rectocele and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction Contributing to Defecatory Dysfunction.
We treat all of these types and causes of constipation, helping you figure out how to resolve your problem. We take a comprehensive approach while retraining your pelvic floor muscles. The pelvic floor muscles work in coordination with your posture, breathing, rectum, anus, abdominals, brain and deep core muscles of your lower back and hips. Because pelvic floor dysfunction can cause constipation and difficulty passing stool, our physical therapists treat your entire system to address the numerous contributing factors to your constipation.

Our patients who have constipation sometimes have been diagnosed with Anismus, Pelvic Floor Dyssynergia, High Tone Pelvic Floor, Paradoxical Puborectalis Contraction, Obstructive Defecation, Pelvic Floor Dysfunction, Rectocele (Pelvic Prolapse), Pelvic Outlet Obstruction, Dyssynergic Defecation, and Spastic Pelvic Floor Syndrome. Yes, our constipation physical therapy treats all of these.
Pelvic floor dysfunction is a common denominator of these problems. The dysfunction may include a number of issues such as tightness, weakness, non-relaxing muscles, pinched nerves, pelvic congestion, reduced sensation or other problems. One main driver of constipation has been found to be incoordination of the process of defecating, including dysfunction of the pelvic floor muscles and anorectal muscles, leading to impaired and ineffective stool expulsion. Just as you might be uncoordinated if you tried a new sport, like diving into a pool, it turns out that the muscles that allow you to defecate with ease can develop bad habits and incoordination so that they do not allow for passage of stool. Our physical therapists, who specialize in constipation treatment and resolving pelvic floor dysfunction, are here to guide you through retraining this sophisticated system. Everything we do in physical therapy is safe, gentle and treats your entire system while preserving your dignity during private one-on-one appointments with your Doctor of Physical Therapy.
