What pelvic floor physiotherapy is

The pelvic floor supports the bladder and bowel, contributes to core stability, and plays a role in sexual function. Pelvic floor physiotherapy assesses how these muscles are working, then treats dysfunction using education, targeted exercise, manual therapy, and retraining.

Who we treat

This service is for adults of all genders. It can help during pregnancy, after delivery, during perimenopause and menopause, after pelvic surgery, after prostate treatment, or when symptoms appear without a clear cause.

Conditions we treat

Bladder control and urinary symptoms

Common concerns include stress urinary incontinence, urge urinary incontinence, overactive bladder, nocturia, hesitancy or incomplete emptying, postpartum bladder changes, and post prostate treatment leakage.

Pelvic organ support and prolapse symptoms

Prolapse symptoms often feel like heaviness, pressure, or a bulge sensation. Treatment may focus on pelvic floor support, pressure management, core control, and safe return to activity. Common concerns include bladder prolapse symptoms, uterine prolapse symptoms, rectal prolapse symptoms, and symptoms that worsen with lifting, prolonged standing, or constipation.

Bowel function and constipation

Common concerns include chronic constipation, straining and incomplete emptying, pelvic floor dyssynergia, fecal incontinence, and hemorrhoid flare ups related to pressure and straining.

Pelvic pain and pressure syndromes

Pelvic pain is often linked to overactive pelvic floor muscles that cannot relax. Common concerns include chronic pelvic pain, perineal pain, tailbone pain, hip or deep groin pain with pelvic involvement, pudendal nerve irritation patterns, and pelvic pain related to endometriosis or bladder pain syndromes as part of a multidisciplinary plan.

Sexual function and pain with intimacy

Common concerns include dyspareunia, vaginismus patterns, pain with penetration or tampon use, pain after childbirth due to tearing or scar sensitivity, and pain related to pelvic floor tension.

Pregnancy, postpartum, and abdominal wall recovery

Common concerns include postpartum urinary leakage, perineal tears and scar care, cesarean scar sensitivity, pelvic girdle pain, return to running and impact sports, and diastasis recti support and core retraining.

Men’s pelvic health

Common concerns include post prostatectomy urinary leakage, pelvic pain and tension patterns, urgency and frequency, pain with ejaculation, and erectile function support as part of a broader plan.
