Learn how to reduce pain and resume an active life.

Rectocele is when the wall between the rectum and vagina weakens causing the vaginal wall to bulge. The primary cause of a rectocele is weakness of the pelvic floor. This can create poor bowel expulsion or discomfort in the pelvis. A physical therapist will assess the pelvic floor muscle strength and assist in retraining the muscles to help support the rectum. We will work with you on body mechanics and posture to relieve stress on your pelvis and ensure proper alignment.

Whether you want to avoid surgery or improve the outcome following surgery, we can help.  To ensure your comfort and privacy, all Pelvic Floor treatments are held in our Private Treatment Rooms. Please call (408) 736-7600 to schedule an appointment with one of our women’s health and pelvic floor specialists. We look forward to helping you find the relief you deserve from Rectocele and/or other related pelvic floor dysfunction.

If you are not sure what you can do to for your rectocele and related pelvic floor symptoms, check out our easy, cost and time effective way to help ensure you take the right steps towards your future, guided by an expert. Feel free to look into our Telehealth and Virtual Health Consultation (VHC) Services

What’s the Buzz?

My daughter developed a stress fracture due to over-training and lack of proper guidance. She had to sit out her sophomore season and we were afraid her running career would be over. Her self-confidence was way down and we had serious concerns, but thanks to BreakThrough she is “back on track” and continuously improving her times as well as enjoyment for cross country. Thank you!

My shin splints were killing me and I had to pull out of my last race. Thanks to Prina helped me avoid needing a boot and really being on the sidelines. I am now increasing my mileage and am so excited to have the support of your Sports Performance Program!

I PR’ed this weekend and I cannot thank Irina enough for all the hard work and dedication she put in to help me accomplish my goal!!
