When your back hurts, nobody thinks of the pelvic floor

You go to the orthopedist, do physio, try yoga, take painkillers. It gets better for a short while, then the discomfort returns. What hardly anyone realizes: the cause often doesn’t lie in the back itself.

The pelvic floor is a muscle group that lies in the pelvis like a hammock and is attached to the pubic bone, ischium, and tailbone. It supports your organs and stabilizes your core. If the pelvic floor muscles weaken, the trunk lacks lower stability. Other muscle groups have to compensate, especially the lower back area. This leads to tension, poor posture, and chronic pain.

The most common triggers for a weakened pelvic floor are pregnancy and childbirth, hormonal changes, long periods of sitting, heavy lifting, surgeries, and changes with age. By specifically strengthening the pelvic floor, you can often noticeably relieve even stubborn back problems.

Three types of back pain related to the pelvic floor

Not every back pain has the same cause. With these three patterns, it is particularly worthwhile to bring the pelvic floor into play.

Type 1

Chronic lower back pain

You’ve had pulling, dull pain in the lumbar region for months or years. Orthopedic examinations show nothing unusual, but the discomfort remains. Often the core is unstable because the pelvic floor is no longer properly fulfilling its supporting function.

Type 2

Back pain after pregnancy and childbirth

Since giving birth, your back pulls and your body feels different. The pelvic floor was heavily strained by pregnancy and childbirth and often couldn’t fully regain its function. The result is an unstable core that the back has to compensate for.

Type 3

Tension combined with bladder weakness

When back pain and bladder weakness occur together, it’s a clear sign of the pelvic floor. Both complaints have the same root and can improve together as soon as the pelvic floor muscles are strong again.

What really helps against back pain caused by the pelvic floor?

There are many ways to treat back pain. Some help in the short term, some solve the cause. Here is an honest overview.

Classic back exercises and physical therapy

Strengthen the back muscles and loosen tension. Work well for acute complaints, but usually neglect the pelvic floor. As long as the core remains unstable, the pain often returns.

Physiotherapy with a pelvic floor focus

A specialized physiotherapist can specifically work on the connection between the pelvic floor and back muscles. Useful for acute complaints and after pregnancy.

Pilates, yoga, and core training

Strengthen the core indirectly and integrate the pelvic floor into movement. Work well as a supplement, but rarely replace targeted deep muscle training.

Painkillers and massages

Provide relief in the moment, but do not solve any structural cause. If you want to permanently calm your back, you have to start deeper.

Pelvic floor chair with magnetic field technology

You sit fully clothed on the chair for 28 minutes and the chair triggers around 12,500 contractions. The magnetic fields reach all three muscle layers of your pelvic floor, even the deep ones you can hardly activate yourself. A more stable core can noticeably relieve the back.

    Sylvia

    Hopping, jumping, sneezing, coughing – at some point I felt it and it's unpleasant. After the sessions, all of that was no longer a problem.

    Markus

    Highly recommended - I was skeptical, but in the end, I was thrilled.

    Regina

    I've been training my pelvic floor for a long time, but this device reaches a depth that you can't activate yourself!

    Marissa

    I felt that something had happened after the first session. I could suddenly get things done again without this constant internal pressure.

    Katrin

    I couldn't have imagined before that I could do pelvic floor training while just sitting and doing nothing that is so effective.

    Gabriella

    You can't compare the pelvic floor exercises you do yourself with what the device does. The intensity is much, much stronger!

This is how it feels when your back finally finds peace.

Getting up in the morning without immediate pulling.

You know it: the first steps out of bed and your lower back speaks up. Many report that this changes after the sessions. Not overnight, but noticeably. Less stiff, less pulling, more freedom of movement in the morning.

Sitting, standing, walking longer. Without the back giving up.

Eight hours at the desk. Two hours of driving. An afternoon with the kids at the playground. When your core becomes more stable, your back can carry that again. Many affected people notice that their resilience in everyday life increases significantly.

Less ibuprofen. More freedom of movement.

Painkillers mute the pain but don't solve anything. When your core is stable again, your back can rest. Many report that they reach for pills much less often after training.

How does the magnetic field chair work for back pain?

The pelvic floor consists of three muscle layers. You can often train the outer layer with conventional exercises like Kegels. However, the two inner layers, which are important for bladder control and stability, are not sufficiently strengthened this way—and this is exactly where the causes of your discomfort often lie.

01

Deeper training

The BetterPelvi chair uses magnetic fields to stimulate all three muscle layers – especially the deeper ones that are not reached by other methods. This strengthens your muscles much more effectively.

02

12,500 contractions in 28 minutes

In just 28 minutes, the chair triggers over 12,500 contractions – that's more than you could achieve with conventional exercises. As a result, your pelvic floor is trained intensively and deeply.

03

Noticeable improvements

Many feel their discomfort subside significantly after just a few sessions. Training the deeper muscle layers leads to better bladder control and more stability.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the back and pelvic floor

  • Pelvic floor and back pain. Are they really connected?

    Yes, the connection is medically proven. The pelvic floor is part of the core and works closely with the muscle chains of the back, abdomen, and diaphragm. If the pelvic floor is weakened, the trunk lacks lower stability and the back has to compensate. This leads to tension and chronic pain.

  • Why do doctors often not recognize the connection?

    Many orthopedists examine the back separately from the pelvic floor. The connection between the two has only been more heavily researched in recent years. Gynecologists and specialized physiotherapists are more familiar with the connection.

  • When should I see a doctor for back pain?

    If pain lasts longer than two weeks, radiates into the legs, is accompanied by numbness, or occurs after a fall, see a doctor. For acute neurological symptoms such as paralysis or loss of control over bladder and bowel, go to the hospital immediately.

  • Does pelvic floor training also help against back pain after pregnancy?

    Yes, targeted pelvic floor training after birth can restabilize the core and noticeably reduce back pain. It is important to start training at the earliest several weeks after birth and to speak with your midwife or gynecologist beforehand.

  • Do painkillers help or is it just symptom management?

    Painkillers relieve the pain but do not solve the cause. If the pelvic floor is weakened and the core remains unstable, the discomfort will return as soon as the effect wears off.

  • How quickly will I notice improvements?

    With classic pelvic floor exercises, first effects can be felt after several weeks. With the pelvic floor chair, many affected people report a more stable body feeling after the first few sessions. How quickly the back calms down depends on the severity of the complaints and general fitness level.

  • Does health insurance cover the costs?

    Classic physiotherapy is covered by health insurance in many cases if a doctor prescribes it. Treatment with the pelvic floor chair is not covered in most cases. We discuss the exact conditions individually on-site.

  • Does pelvic floor training for back pain also help men?

    Yes. Men also have a pelvic floor that stabilizes the core. For sedentary work, after prostate surgery, or for chronic back problems, targeted training can bring noticeable improvements.
