Understanding Pelvic Floor Therapy
What Is Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy?
Pelvic floor physiotherapy focuses on assessing and treating problems involving the muscles, ligaments and connective tissues around the pelvic region. These muscles play an important role in bladder and bowel control, sexual function, core stability and overall movement.
When the pelvic floor muscles become weak, overly tight or poorly coordinated, they can contribute to pain, discomfort, leakage and other functional difficulties.
Our approach is individualized and non-invasive. Treatment may include manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, movement retraining, education and other appropriate physiotherapy techniques to help improve strength, coordination, circulation and function.
Whether your concerns are related to childbirth, surgery, aging, injury or an ongoing condition, pelvic floor physiotherapy can provide a structured approach to improving your pelvic health and quality of life.
