Women's Health Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that supports your bladder, uterus and rectum, and like any other muscle group it can become too tight, too weak, or simply uncoordinated. Pregnancy, childbirth and menopause are common triggers, but pelvic floor dysfunction can affect anyone.

Your first assessment covers your history, posture and the surrounding abdominal and spinal structures, and — once you're ready and comfortable — may include an internal assessment, which is the most accurate way to evaluate how these muscles are actually working.

Treatment might combine external techniques like trigger point release and myofascial work with internal treatment, biofeedback, or guided exercises such as properly-performed Kegels, depending on what your assessment finds.

Your first visit runs longer than a typical physiotherapy appointment — usually around an hour — to allow time for a detailed history and thorough assessment. Follow-up visits are shorter, and your plan may include home exercises, lifestyle adjustments and progress check-ins.
