Pelvic floor physiotherapy is a specialized form of physiotherapy that focuses on restoring function to the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues of the pelvic region. These muscles support pelvic organs, including the bladder, rectum, uterus, and prostate, and play a key role in core stability, continence, and sexual function. Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy is beneficial for people of all ages and genders.
Treatment is personalized and may include exercises, relaxation strategies, manual therapy, and lifestyle modifications to improve muscle coordination and function.
