PELVIC HEALTH PHYSIOTHERAPY
What is Pelvic Health Physiotherapy?
Pelvic health physiotherapy is a specialized branch of physiotherapy that addresses weakness or tension in the muscles of the pelvic floor, which support the bladder, uterus, and colon.
Dysfunction in pelvic muscles can cause:
Pelvic pain
Low back pain
Incontinence
Increased urinary frequency and/or urgency
Sexual dysfunction
Pelvic organ prolapse
There are many physiological and psychological reasons for pelvic floor discomfort, and a certified physiotherapist can perform an internal and external exam to assess and treat the source of your discomfort.
Pelvic floor conditions can affect both men and women, and most patients seeking treatment find significant relief within the first 2-6 appointments.
Our Pelvic Health Physiotherapists with advanced training can also assist with:
Breastfeeding conditions (mastitis, poor latching, feeding positions, infant torticollis)
Diastasis recti (abdominal separation) assessment and treatment
Caesarean scar mobilisation
Post-natal Pilates-based rehabilitation
