Uterosacral Ligament

Want to create magical results for your clients? Consider regularly assessing the Uterosacral Ligament. If your clients are complaining of irritation of the bladder, urethra or pelvic floor muscles, treating the uterosacral ligament can help, and can also provide relief to clients with prolapse. Join in for today's podcast, as Lynn highlights the importance of this incredible ligament. The Uterosacral Ligament goes from the sacrum (S1-4) or sacrospinous complex to the Posterio-Lateral Part of the cervix, the Connection point of the cervix to the vaginal wall and Upper 1/3 of the posterior vaginal wall (not the uterus). This means the cardinal ligament is the primary support of the uterus. The dynamic nature of the attachments makes it essential to address the bones to decrease the pull on the muscles and ligaments. Because the inferior hypogastric plexus swims through the medial portion of the ligament, treating this ligament is critical to decreasing irritation of tissue of the bladder, urethra, and the whole vaginal vault. Due to its nature of helping with drainage, it is essential to assess if there is a vaginal lip during birth or congestion in the uterus. The results of working with this ligament can be magical for your clients.
