Pelvic floor therapy

Pelvic floor therapy

Maintaining good pelvic floor muscle strength is an important part of overall health for men and women of all ages. A physiotherapist, who is trained in this area can help you reap numerous benefits from this therapy including bladder control, helping the bladder to hold on after getting the urge to urinate, avoid surgery, good sexual health and be able to enjoy life to its fullest. Pelvic floor therapy helps you regain your power. The goal is to get control over your bladder and not let it control you.

The Pelvic floor is basically a group of muscles which are supporting all the pelvic organs such as the bladder, bowel, and uterus (for women). Weakness or tightness in this area can lead to various heath concerns such as Incontinence, Pelvic organ prolapse, Dyspareunia and Pelvic girdle pain. Childbirth and menopause are the most well-known causes for a weakened pelvic floor.

A physiotherapist can teach you various techniques depending on your condition to manage your symptoms and have better quality of life.
