Why pelvic floor physiotherapy?
Pelvic floor muscle training is the most recommended and evidence-based therapy available to treat pelvic floor, bladder and bowel problems. Dysfunction or weakness.
Like any other muscle group in the body, such as your biceps or hamstrings, the pelvic floor muscles can be trained, strengthened, lengthened and relaxed. By training the pelvic floor muscles that extend from your pubic bone at the front to your tailbone at the back, you improve the support for your pelvic organs, much the same as the water in the ocean supports and lifts a ship from underneath.
Our physiotherapists can help you get started with an individualised program to help your pelvic floor muscles improve.
