What is Pelvic Physiotherapy?

Pelvic Health Physiotherapy is the assessment and treatment of various conditions involving the pelvic floor and surrounding areas. The pelvic floor is made up of muscles, tissue, nerves, and ligaments, which support the bladder, uterus, and genitals. Sometimes, complications can arise causing the pelvic floor to function improperly, leading to various conditions.

Who can benefit from Pelvic Physiotherapy?

Pelvic health issues such as Urgency, Incontinence, and Nocturia occur more frequently in seniors, while issues such as Pelvic Pain, Dyspareunia, and Vaginismus occur more frequently in women who are pregnant (including prepartum and postpartum pregnancy). However, conditions can affect men and women of all ages. If you have any symptoms that you think may be caused by pelvic floor dysfunction, call us today and see if pelvic physiotherapy is right for you.
