What is Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy?
Pelvic floor physiotherapy involves the assessment and treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction. The pelvic floor consists of muscles, ligaments, and tissue, which together make up the floor of the pelvis or core. When muscles and other structures lose their normal control and do not function properly, this is called dysfunction. The pelvic floor has many functions including: stability, breathing, posture, control of bowel and bladder, sexual, and support of pelvic organs (bladder small intestine, rectum, uterus and vagina in women).
 
Many pelvic floor related issues are due to
  • Weak pelvic floor muscles, or
  • Overly tight pelvic floor muscles
 
Who would benefit from Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy?
If you identify with or experience any of the following, you will benefit from pelvic floor physiotherapy:
  • Pregnancy or childbirth:  Prevention is key! Pregnancy and childbirth put extra pressure and strain on the pelvic floor, which can be minimized with correct pelvic floor function.  It can also help with pain in the back, hips, knees, and feet.
  • Incontinence:  Did you know that 1 in 3 women leak urine when they don’t want to? Do you leak urine when cough, sneeze, laugh, lift, exercise?  Do you frequently have an urgent need to pass urine but are unable to make it to the toilet in time?
  • Nocturia: Waking multiple times a night to urinate
  • Vaginal Prolapse: This is when the pelvic floor muscles and tissue are weak, damaged, or stretched resulting in the pelvic organs coming down
  • Diastasis recti: The separation of the abdominal muscles
 
How can physiotherapy help?
  • Pelvic floor muscle re-training
  • Core muscle strengthening
  • Postural correction
  • Relaxation techniques
  • Education on lifestyle changes
  • Bladder retraining and management techniques
