Pelvic Floor Physiotherapists are specially trained to assess the external and internal structures of your pelvic floor that often lead to urinary or bowel incontinence, urgency, frequency and prolapse, dyspareunia, as well as being an integral contributor to low back, pelvic and hip pain. They may also help in your pre-natal journey with preparing the pelvic floor and body for labour and delivery or in your post-natal journey through a guided return to exercise and impact activity.
