Capitol Physical Therapy Releases Educational Video on Diaphragmatic Breathing for Pelvic Floor Health

Capitol Physical Therapy, a leading Washington DC physical therapy clinic, has released a new educational video titled “Diaphragmatic Breathing for Pelvic Floor Health”. The video features Dr. Alice Aehl, DPT, a pelvic health physical therapist at Capitol Physical Therapy in Washington, D.C., who explains the significance of diaphragmatic breathing in supporting pelvic floor function.

In the video, Dr. Aehl demonstrates how to perform diaphragmatic breathing, a technique that involves deep breathing using the diaphragm. This method is shown to aid in the relaxation and strengthening of pelvic floor muscles, which can be beneficial for individuals experiencing pelvic floor dysfunction.

“Diaphragmatic breathing is a beneficial tool that you can use to improve or maintain pelvic floor muscle function,” said Dr. Aehl. “When you breathe properly through your diaphragm, it causes an increase in pressure. This increase in pressure helps your pelvic floor muscles to expand and lengthen, and provides a good stretch.”

The video provides step-by-step instructions, making it accessible for viewers to practice the breathing technique at home. It emphasizes the importance of integrating diaphragmatic breathing into daily routines to enhance pelvic health.

Capitol Physical Therapy’s initiative aims to educate the public on non-invasive methods to manage and improve pelvic floor health. The clinic offers a range of services, including physical therapy for urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, and postpartum recovery.

Pelvic floor issues are a common complaint when it comes to women’s health physical therapy. Often, these issues are rooted in pregnancy and childbirth, but not always. In fact, men can experience pelvic floor issues as well, though it’s less common.

Those interested in finding out more about Capitol Physical Therapy’s services are encouraged to visit their clinic’s website.
