Abstract
Assessment and Alleviation of Lumbopelvic Pain and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
Highlights
Low back pain (LBP) is a condition of localized pain to the lumbar spine whose etiology is commonly unknown [1]
Current evidence shows that individuals with low back pain have a significant decrease in pelvic floor function compared to individuals without LBP [3]
Treatment should include education on healthy lifestyle habits to promote optimal functioning of the lumbopelvic stability system. Examples of these habits include good posture, maintenance of a healthy body weight, proper diet, routine exercise, and refraining from smoking [6]. This purpose of this study was to evaluate whether the implementation of lifestyle modifications as well as a specialized exercise program would improve the symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction and mild pelvic organ prolapse in women
Summary
Low back pain (LBP) is a condition of localized pain to the lumbar spine whose etiology is commonly unknown [1]. Examples of these habits include good posture, maintenance of a healthy body weight, proper diet, routine exercise, and refraining from smoking [6] This purpose of this study was to evaluate whether the implementation of lifestyle modifications as well as a specialized exercise program would improve the symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction and mild pelvic organ prolapse in women. These symptoms include low back pain, hip pain, pelvic pressure, pelvic pain with intimacy and/or the use of tampons, bladder and/or bowel leakage with laughing, coughing, sneezing, jumping, bladder and/or bowel urgency and frequency. The study evaluated the severity of the participants’ symptoms pre and post intervention (Table 1)
