Background on Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy

So this is not an explosive name that has no meaning behind it, on the contrary – pelvic floor physiotherapy is one of the most researched and important fields in the world of medicine. Even if we zoom out and look at the field of physiotherapy in general, we will find that this is a field to which a lot of thought is dedicated, many studies are conducted around it, and accordingly the necessary conclusions are drawn for the development and efficiency of the field.

If we go down to lower resolutions, we will find that pelvic floor physiotherapy is also a specific field that has been studied under the magnifying glass, in order to improve the medical processes that patients have to undergo. Therefore, today it can be said unequivocally that the pelvic floor physiotherapy solutions are among the most advanced and technological in the world of medicine in general.

Pelvic floor physiotherapy – what does it even mean?

It's time for us to talk a little more specifically about pelvic floor physiotherapy, so that those of you who are not familiar enough – can connect easily. This is an entire field that deals with strengthening the pelvic floor muscles, so that the pelvic floor can play its important role fully and well. So what is that role?

Well, it is the pelvic floor that is responsible for controlling the sphincters. This means that if your bladder fills up, for example, and your pelvic floor is functioning in good condition – the urine will not simply come out uncontrollably, but will wait in the bladder until the moment you choose to go to the toilet and evacuate.

In order for the pelvic floor to function properly, its muscles need to be strong enough to master this entire chorus in an exemplary way. Weak pelvic floor muscles will not be able to function properly, while well-maintained and functioning pelvic floor muscles will be able to control the sphincters successfully. The strength and strength of the pelvic floor muscles is responsible, you guessed it, pelvic floor physiotherapy.

What happens in pelvic floor physiotherapy?

It is important to understand that pelvic floor physiotherapy today is really not the same as it was in the past. In the past, the technological and advanced tools available to the medical world were very limited, and therefore pelvic floor physiotherapy could focus only on the most basic tools, which usually did not involve any external tools or devices. Until the breakthroughs of recent years, pelvic floor physiotherapy was expressed mainly through various exercises, under the guidance of expert physiotherapists who guided the patients.

On the other hand, today, pelvic floor physiotherapy uses super advanced devices, which can significantly optimize the results obtained, and dramatically strengthen the pelvic floor muscles.

Pelvic floor physiotherapy using the traditional method – the exercises you should know

Let's go back to talking about the different methods of pelvic floor physiotherapy, to give you some relevant tools for actual practice. So if we take the technological and developed devices out of the equation for a moment, and focus on the methods of the past that many still use today, we will find that there are quite a few exercises designed to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles through contractions. These exercises, also called Kegel exercises, aim to work on contracting the pelvic floor muscles and relaxing them, in several different positions that can maximize the results.

Among other things, you can find Kegel exercises that focus on contracting the pelvic floor and buttocks muscles while sitting, some while standing and some while lying comfortably on the back. In order to perform the Kegel exercises, there is no need to use external aids, but simply a mattress or towel that will support the back, buttocks and legs while performing the exercises.

Sample pelvic floor physiotherapy exercises

For example, let's look at some of the most prominent exercises in the field. One of the most common exercises is performed while standing six, with a vertical line descending between the palms of the hands and the shoulder line that parallels them, and the same is true between the pelvic line and the knees. In this position, the back should be arched for a few seconds, contracting the pelvic floor muscles, and then releasing and relaxing the muscles.

Another exercise is performed while lying on your back, with your arms spread out to the sides with your legs bent and your feet supported on the floor. At this moment, the buttocks and pelvis should be lifted upwards, contracting the pelvic floor muscles and the buttocks muscles. After a few seconds, lower your buttocks and pelvis back onto the mattress and relax.

Another common and very simple exercise to perform is performed while standing on both legs. In order to practice, one of the legs should be swung up until the knee reaches the waistline, and as the leg ascends, the muscles of the buttocks and pelvic floor should be contracted. After contracting for a few seconds, lower the leg back into place, and at the same time relax the muscles. This exercise can be repeated several times, and you can also switch legs from time to time for variety.

Another famous exercise is performed while sitting on the mat, with the legs slightly punctuated and the hands supporting the body behind the back. From the sitting position, raise the buttocks and pelvis while contracting the pelvic floor muscles while ascending, and lower the buttocks back while relaxing the muscles.

Of course, there are more and more exercises of this type, which can significantly help to get results and strengthen the pelvic floor muscles.

If Kegel exercises are so good, why do we find a technological substitute for them?

If you think about it, almost every field today is trying to perfect itself, despite its "good old methods". For that matter, the field of cooking, in which it is possible to produce excellent dough by hand, also enjoys a variety of advanced devices that can produce excellent dough even without human intervention, except for putting the ingredients into the machine. However, alongside these devices, there will still be chefs who will prefer to knead the dough with their hands. So why anyway?

Well, just like in the field of cooking, in the field of pelvic floor physiotherapy, there will still be those who prefer to perform exercises manually, but the results will require much more effort and will come after much more time. For this purpose, the results obtained from manual exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles after many months will be the same as the results obtained from technological devices to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles after only a few hours.

Based on this figure, it can be understood that the technological alternative that we will talk about immediately is much faster, much more efficient, and requires much less effort from the patients. This is an excellent combination that not only provides excellent results, but also identifies the human need of the 21st century.

Here and now – what happens when laziness and lack of restraint have taken the place of patience and perseverance?

So yes, if we look at the reasons that led the field of physiotherapy The pelvic floor to develop, it was found that alongside efficiency and technology, there are other reasons. The people of the 21st century are characterized by a lack of restraint, a desire to get results in the here and now, they have much less patience and they are liable to give up and give up on long processes if they do not get immediate results.

Since exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles are exercises that require time and patience, they are no longer in line with the human perception of the 21st century, and their place should have been taken by a more advanced device that understands this rationale and provides a precise solution to it. Here, at this very point, we can start talking about the eChair from MyDoctor.
