Pelvic Health Physiotherapy
What is Pelvic Health Physiotherapy?
Pelvic health or pelvic floor physiotherapy is when a registered physiotherapist has advanced training in the pelvic floor. The pelvic floor is a sling of muscles that runs between the pubic bone to tail bone and sits bone to the other sits bone. These muscles are vital by supporting our internal organs, keeping us continent (no urinary or fecal leakage), and giving us stability and strength to function properly.
Your pelvic physiotherapist will perform an extensive assessment which includes evaluation of your posture and movement as well as an internal examination of your pelvic floor muscles. Pelvic health physiotherapy can help with a variety of conditions including:
Cardiovascular Disease
- Bladder and bladder leakage/incontinence
- Pelvic organ prolapse
- Pain with Intercourse
- Pregnancy related pain
- Birth preparation
- Diastasis Recti (abdominal separation)
- Endometriosis
- Persistent back/hip/pelvic pain
Although very common, these conditions are often unspoken of. It is frequently believed that there is nothing you can do about it… but I am here to tell you that there is help for you! Come to see our pelvic health physiotherapist today!
