What is Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy?

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, as well as being an integral contributor to low back and hip pain. They may also help in your pre-natal journey with preparing the pelvic floor and body for labour and delivery. They will assess the strength, relaxation and coordination of the muscles and connect them with the rest of your core, posture and movement patterns to get you functioning at your optimum capacity and achieving your personal goals.

What to expect at your Physiotherapy assessment?

  • Detailed personal and medical history
  • Postural and functional movement assessment
  • Assessment of your low back, sacroiliac joints and hips
  • Assessment of core muscles strength
  • External and internal assessment of the pelvic floor

Pelvic Floor Treatment will or may include:

  • Personalized treatment program
  • Manual therapy to promote relaxation and release of tight muscles and ligaments
  • Pelvic floor strength and coordination exercises
  • Functional exercise program
  • Education strategies

*Internal pelvic examination is the gold standard for Pelvic Floor assessment and treatment. If you are uncomfortable with this or have any questions, please speak with your Physiotherapist regarding treatment options.
