Understanding Your Core

Your “core” consists of your spine, pelvis, hips, abdomen, connective tissue, joints and organs. The health of your core affects the function of your entire body. The pelvis is a very complex area of ligaments, muscles, nerves, tendons, arteries, veins, and joints and includes the support of the hips, spine and abdomen. Physical therapy addresses musculoskeletal components that may be contributing to pelvic pain and pelvic floor dysfunction that may not be discovered through diagnostic testing and may have not responded to traditional medical treatments.
