The Most Common Myths About

Pelvic Health

You've Been Told By Doctors, Friends and Social Media That Have Left You In Pain

Speak To The #1 Pelvic Health Expert In Longview

Here are some of the most common pelvic health myths people who visit our Longview clinic have been told, which have actually hindered their rehabilitation progress and delayed their recovery from pelvic pain.

MYTH #1 - URINARY LEAKAGE AFTER CHILDBIRTH IS NORMAL
A common misconception is that urinary leakage, especially after a vaginal delivery, is normal and just part of life – something to be accepted. This is not true. While urinary leakage is very common, it is not normal, and it should not be something you have to deal with for the rest of your life. The earlier you address this issue, the better your chances of healing and making a full recovery. With proper intervention, you can lead an active lifestyle without worrying about urinary leakage.
MYTH #2 - STRETCHING AND BREATHING EXERCISES ALONE CAN FIX PELVIC PAIN
Another misconception is that simply doing some stretches or breathing exercises will make pelvic pain go away on its own. In reality, these approaches are often not enough. Many cases require the intervention of a skilled pelvic health physical therapist who can manually assess your pelvic floor muscles and the surrounding tissues, including those in your hips and lower back. Since these areas are all interconnected, addressing multiple muscle groups is often necessary for a complete recovery.
MYTH #3 - RESTING WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM
Some people believe that rest alone will help resolve pelvic health issues. Unfortunately, this isn’t the case. At Vital Life Physical Therapy, I encourage people to stay as active as possible. Even if we need to modify your activities – whether they’re leisure or sports-related – it’s important to continue participating. Staying active helps maintain muscle strength, joint health, and overall quality of life. Rest alone can often lead to a delayed recovery.
MYTH #4 - PELVIC HEALTH ISSUES ARE ALWAYS GENETIC
Another misconception is that pelvic health issues, such as weakness, pain, or prolapse, are inherently genetic. People often think they are destined to experience these issues if their mother or grandmother had similar conditions. Genetics is not necessarily a determining factor in pelvic health. Even if there is a small genetic component, modern pelvic health care and physical therapy offer tools and treatments that were not available decades ago. With proper guidance, you can learn how to manage your lifestyle and reduce strain on your pelvic floor, preventing or minimizing these conditions. Your genes don’t dictate your future - taking proactive steps to care for your pelvic health can empower you to lead a healthy, active lifestyle, regardless of family history.
