They feel ashamed and guilty for seeking an improved quality of life, even after winning the battle against death. However, they suffer, and when they open up to their therapeutic team, they often receive insufficient answers and, most importantly, no solutions!<\/p>\n<p>Thousands of postpartum women discover that pregnancy and childbirth have left them with incontinence, dyspareunia (pain during sex), or pelvic organ prolapse. And no one provides answers. The advice they receive from their gynecologists is often limited to buying lubricants.<\/p>\n<p>Pelvic Floor Dysfunctions and their treatment constitute a branch of physiotherapy that provides solutions! Countless testimonials confirm this!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sexual dysfunction<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;From the very first visits to <strong>PT PRAXIS<sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/strong>, I began to notice a difference. I recall that around the 4th or 5th week, I experienced significant improvement, and by the 6th week, I was already much better. The therapeutic physiotherapy approach unexpectedly encouraged me to reconnect with my husband more frequently, boosting my confidence and accelerating results.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Testimonial 1<\/strong><br \/>\n&#8220;I want to tell women who experience pain during intercourse that it\u2019s not psychological. Behind their pain lies a pathological cause, and until it is identified and addressed, the physical and emotional trauma deepens. At PT PRAXIS<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>, the approach was completely different. They listened to me attentively and empathetically, and for the first time, I felt understood. I still have a journey ahead of me, but I cannot express how optimistic I feel now that I understand how my problem is being addressed. I am no longer afraid of the process and believe that my condition is treatable.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ptpraxis.gr\/?page_id=24482\"><strong>Pelvic pain<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was a relief. When they took my <strong>pain history<\/strong> and testimony, they nodded with understanding. After so many years, there was finally someone who understood what I was describing. None of the previous practitioners, not one, had knowledge, provided insights, or helped alleviate my pain. Now, I know the tools to manage my pain and use them on my own&#8230; My visits to PT PRAXIS<sup>\u00ae <\/sup>help me continue safely addressing my problem.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Testimonial 2<\/strong><br \/>\n&#8220;I want to tell women who feel like I did that a diagnosis is critical to avoid doubting your sanity or thinking it\u2019s all in your imagination. I hope every woman who has suffered as I have PT PRAXIS<sup>\u00ae <\/sup>at some point.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ptpraxis.gr\/%cf%85%cf%80%ce%b7%cf%81%ce%b5%cf%83%ce%af%ce%b5%cf%82\/%cf%80%cf%85%ce%b5%ce%bb%ce%b9%ce%ba%ce%bf-%ce%b5%ce%b4%ce%b1%cf%86%ce%bf%cf%83\/%ce%b4%cf%85%cf%83%ce%b5%ce%bb%ce%b5%ce%b9%cf%84%ce%bf%cf%85%cf%81%ce%b3%ce%b9%ce%b1-%ce%ba%cf%85%cf%83%cf%84%ce%b7%cf%83\/\"><strong>Urinary incontinence\/M<\/strong><\/a><strong>an<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Rehabilitation ensures the <strong>quality of life<\/strong> for men who have survived prostate cancer. A young man dealing with urinary incontinence after such surgery may suffer from depression later. This doesn\u2019t have to happen. Doctors should be better informed about <strong>Pelvic Floor exercises<\/strong>, and physiotherapists should also be more aware of the correct execution of exercises for rehabilitating Pelvic Floor dysfunctions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bowel dysfunction <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I had despaired. I felt shame and fear. I had stopped leaving my house and thought there was a severe disease behind my condition. Two gastrointestinal surgeons reassured me that there was no pathology, and their colonoscopy confirmed it. They only offered dietary advice! Suddenly, at PT PRAXIS<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>, they listened, understood, and nodded with approval, showing knowledge! After the clinical examination and tracking my &#8216;accident&#8217; incidents, I started my exercises, and my life returned to normal! No more incontinence pads, no shame, no fear. I am grateful. Everyone should know about this\u2014both doctors and physiotherapists.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Constipation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Finally, the constant discomfort in my abdominal area and lower pelvis stopped. I regained my quality of life. I felt light, and I could comfortably button my trousers again. The bloating and the feeling of &#8216;heaviness&#8217; in my abdomen disappeared. I no longer need to organize my day around bowel movements.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pelvic Organ Prolapse<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The heaviness and &#8216;fullness&#8217; in my pelvis stopped. The urgent need to visit the bathroom or the inability to empty my bladder fully was a daily nightmare that even hindered walking without frequent stops. I avoided seeing a doctor to escape the mention of surgery. Luckily, the surgeon I consulted informed me about Pelvic Floor exercises and encouraged me to try physiotherapy first. I am grateful. Everything I was told at PT PRAXIS<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> and, most importantly, what I was taught helped me recover without surgery.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bladder dysfunction after childbirth<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The most beautiful period of my life was overshadowed by urinary incontinence, which made me feel embarrassed, scared, ashamed, and desperate. My focus was entirely on my baby, but I couldn\u2019t enjoy it. I preferred staying home and was afraid even to go for a walk with my child, let alone lift it without losing urine. I reached out to the physiotherapists at PT PRAXIS<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> \u00a0and found myself again. I stay consistent with my exercises and, most importantly, understand what happened to me. No one had warned me. Now, I don\u2019t worry about accidents when I\u2019m out, I can lift my child without losing urine, I\u2019ve restarted exercising, and I feel secure.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is an exceptionally high demand for physiotherapists skilled in Pelvic Floor Therapy and its Dysfunctions!
