Question regarding pelvic floor dysfunction and exercise

I am waiting to see a physio specialising in pelvic floor dysfunction. I have had on and off for years a condition called interstitial cystitis which recently flared up verfy badly forcing me to deal with it properly. I believe in addition to the diet changes and various things I am taking, I may also have a tight pelvic floor. Can this occur from weight lifting and a lot of intense sport over the years? Also I was using kettlebells every other day for a few months leading to my awful flare recently, I stopped as soon as it got bad, is it possible that I was inadvertently tightening my pelvic floor while doing the kettlebell routine?

It could be, that you have overdone what your body was ready to do with the Kettlebells.
But then it could be something else too. That is why physical therapists physically assess each patient. A pelvic
floor physical therapist will palpate your internal peri-bladder structures as well as your pelvic girdle and back to see
where the problem is coming from, and make up a home program for you.
I would not wait to see a therapist. My understanding from the physiobob website is that there are private physios in
London.
I would research a good one and not wait to improve the situation.
Prompt care is important!
