Pelvic Floor Discoordination Treatment in Pooler

When Your Pelvic Muscles Are Out of Sync, We Help You Find Your Strength in a Blink

Pelvic floor discoordination—also known as dyssynergic defecation—disrupts your body’s natural ability to coordinate muscles during bowel movements. At Savannah Pelvic Health and Wellness, we offer focused pelvic floor therapy that retrains these muscles, restores coordination, and improves your daily comfort and bowel function.

What Is Pelvic Floor Discoordination?

Under normal conditions, the pelvic floor muscles contract and relax in harmony to support bowel movements, urination, and core stability. When these muscles act out of sync—tightening when they should be releasing—it leads to difficulty with elimination and other pelvic symptoms.
Common effects include:

• Chronic constipation
• Pain or pressure during bowel movements
• A persistent feeling of incomplete emptying
• Excessive straining
• Rectal discomfort or heaviness

This condition is more common than many realize—and highly treatable with the right care.

Symptoms You Shouldn’t Ignore

You may be experiencing pelvic floor discoordination if you:

• Struggle to have a bowel movement even with the urge
• Regularly pass hard or dry stools
• Depend on manual pressure to assist with bowel movements
• Feel rectal or anal pain
• Have bloating, pelvic pressure, or a sensation of heaviness
• Suffer from hemorrhoids or anal fissures due to chronic straining

These symptoms can disrupt daily life—but pelvic floor therapy can address them at the root.

What Causes Pelvic Floor Discoordination?

Several factors can lead to discoordination of the pelvic floor muscles, including:

• Improper toileting habits (rushing, excessive straining)
• Childbirth or pregnancy
• Pelvic trauma or surgery
• Nerve dysfunction or injury
• Chronic anxiety or stress
• Imbalances in pelvic or abdominal muscles

At Savannah Pelvic Health and Wellness, we take a full-body, full-history approach to care—understanding the why behind your symptoms and designing treatment to support your body’s natural function.
