What is Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy?
The pelvic floor is a network of muscles, ligaments, and tissue, which together make up the floor of the pelvis or core. The pelvic floor has an integral role in core system function, working cohesively with the low back, diaphragm, and abdomen. The pelvic floor has many functions including: Stability and strength, breathing, posture, control of bowel and bladder, sexual, and support of pelvic organs (bladder small intestine, rectum, uterus and vagina in women). |
When muscles and other structures lose their normal control and do not function properly, this is called dysfunction. Pelvic floor physiotherapy involves the assessment and treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction. Many pelvic floor related issues are due to weak or overly tense pelvic floor muscles, or core system imbalance.
