What is the Pelvic Floor?
The pelvic floor is a group of deep muscles that form the base of your pelvis. These muscles play an essential role in:
- Supporting the bladder, uterus/prostate, and bowel
- Controlling bladder and bowel function
- Providing stability to the spine and pelvis
- Contributing to sexual health
- Supporting core strength
Why Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy?
Pelvic floor dysfunction is common and can occur due to pregnancy, childbirth, aging, surgery, high-impact exercise, heavy lifting, or muscle imbalance. Pelvic floor physiotherapy can help with:
- Urinary leakage (stress, urge, or mixed incontinence)
- Pelvic heaviness or weakness
- Core weakness
- Pain or tightness in the pelvic region
- Recovery after childbirth or pelvic surgery
What to Expect
Treatment is private, respectful, and individually tailored. A pelvic floor physiotherapy session may include:
- Education on pelvic anatomy and function
- Assessment of pelvic floor strength and coordination
- Bladder and bowel habit training
- Gentle internal or external techniques (only with consent)
- Strengthening or relaxation exercises
- Lifestyle and posture guidance
