Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy
Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy is a specialized branch of physiotherapy involving the assessment and treatment of the pelvic floor muscles. The pelvic floor muscles are located between the hip bones and the sacrum, and they serve as a bowl to support the pelvic organs including the bladder, colon and uterus.
Some reasons to see a pelvic floor physiotherapist…
- Increased urinary frequency or urgency
- Painful or incomplete urination
- Waking frequently at night to pee
- Pain with intercourse
- Stress incontinence/leaking (common with physical activity, coughing, sneezing, etc.)
- Pelvic Organ Prolapse
These conditions are very common in women after childbirth and are therefore often seen as “normal.” Many people don’t realize that not only are these symptoms that can be fixed but also they generally get worse over time not better. Seeking care early can help resolve these symptoms quickly!
