Pelvic Health Physio
Pelvic health physiotherapy is a specialized type of physio that assesses, treats, and manages issues related to the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues of the pelvic floor.
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles at the bottom of the pelvis that form a supportive sling. These muscles help:
-
Support internal organs (bladder, uterus, and bowel)
-
Control bladder and bowel function
-
Contribute to sexual health and function
-
Provide core and lower back stability
Pelvic health physiotherapists help people of all genders manage and overcome conditions such as:
-
Bladder and bowel problems: Urinary or fecal leakage, sudden urges to go, chronic constipation, or straining.
-
Pregnancy and postpartum recovery: Pregnancy-related back or pelvic girdle pain, abdominal muscle separation (diastasis recti), and birth injury rehabilitation.
-
Pelvic pain: Pain during intercourse, menstrual-related pain, or chronic pelvic discomfort.
-
Pelvic organ prolapse: A feeling of heaviness or pressure when pelvic organs descend into the vaginal wall.
-
Post-surgery recovery: Rebuilding strength after prostate or gynecological surgeries.
