What Is Pelvic Floor Dysfunction?

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles and connective tissues that support the bladder, rectum, and reproductive organs. When these muscles become too tight, too weak, or fail to coordinate properly, symptoms may include:

• Chronic pelvic or rectal pain

• Difficulty passing bowel movements

• Fecal or urinary leakage

• Sensation of pelvic pressure or heaviness

These problems often affect both women and men and can significantly impact daily life.

How SoftWave® Therapy Works

SoftWave® is an advanced extracorporeal shockwave technology that uses low-intensity acoustic waves to:

• Increase blood flow and microcirculation

• Reduce inflammation and pain

• Promote tissue regeneration by activating your body’s own stem cells

The treatment is performed in-office, requires no anesthesia, and typically lasts about 10–15 minutes per session.

Benefits of SoftWave® Therapy

• Non-invasive: No needles, incisions, or downtime.

• Fast & gentle: Most patients describe only mild tingling during treatment.

• Promotes natural healing: Stimulates growth factors and new blood vessel formation.

• Complementary approach: Can be combined with pelvic floor exercises, dietary changes, or other medical therapies.What to Expect During Your Visit
