What Is Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy?

Pelvic floor physiotherapy focuses on diagnosing and treating issues affecting the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues of the pelvic area. These muscles are essential for bladder and bowel control, sexual function, and core stability. When the pelvic floor is weakened or overly tight, it can lead to symptoms of pain, discomfort, and functional issues.

Our approach is non-invasive and holistic, using therapies like manual techniques, biofeedback, and customized exercises to rebuild strength, improve blood flow, and restore function. Whether your concerns stem from childbirth, surgery, aging, or chronic conditions, pelvic floor physiotherapy offers a safe and effective path to recovery.
