Why yoga as a treatment option? Yoga is beneficial for a variety of reasons including strengthening muscles, stretching muscles and relaxing the mind and body. For disorders with pain as the primary symptom, yoga can be used to calm the nervous system which can lead to better pain control. It also teaches turning inward and self -awareness which I believe are two key components that are necessary for healing and long -term health and wellbeing.

Pelvic Floor Yoga is a type of yoga used for the therapeutic benefit of either stretching and strengthening the pelvic floor (for tight or hypertonic pelvic floor muscles) or strengthening and stabilizing the pelvic floor (for loose /overly stretched or hypotonic pelvic floor muscles).
It is beneficial in conditions of bladder or pelvic pain, constipation, urgency and overactivity of the bladder, leaking of urine either with urge or with coughing and sneezing (common with women after having babies or in men post prostate surgeries), low back pain and painful sex.
