What Is Pelvic Health Physiotherapy?
Pelvic health physiotherapy focuses on assessing and treating the muscles, nerves, and connective tissues in the pelvic region. These muscles support the bladder, uterus/prostate, and rectum; they play a vital role in bladder control, sexual function, and core stability. Pelvic health physiotherapy can be beneficial for a wide range of conditions, and is appropriate for people of all genders and ages.
How Can Pelvic Floor Dysfunction Affect Me?
Your pelvic floor can be the cause of various symptoms:
- Bladder and Bowels: You may feel like you can’t control your bladder or bowels, or you may have the urge to go to the bathroom more often than normal.
- Sexual Function: You have pain during or after sex, erectile dysfunction, or difficulty tolerating pelvic exams or tampons.
- Pregnancy/Post-Partum Recovery: You feel ongoing pelvic heaviness, pressure, or pain well after giving birth.
How Can Pelvic Health Physiotherapy Help?
