Pelvic Health Physiotherapy
Even though pelvic floor issues are common, they should not be considered normal. If you experience any symptoms, you should seek treatment as soon as possible.
The purpose of pelvic health physiotherapy is to treat the muscles and structures in the pelvis, including the bladder, uterus, and rectum. It is often used to treat various conditions affecting these areas, such as urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and chronic constipation. Pelvic health physiotherapy involves exercises, manual therapy, and pelvic floor muscle function education. Through these methods, a pelvic health physiotherapist helps people manage their symptoms, improve their quality of life, and improve the function and comfort of their pelvic muscles and organs.

Eases Birth and Postpartum
We understand birth is complex; therefore, we offer physiotherapy to make it easier for you. Moreover, pelvic floor muscles often become weak or imbalanced after birth, and you might experience abdominal pain or discomfort during sex. Pelvic health physiotherapy eases the birth and postpartum period because it strengthens your pelvic muscles. Consequently, a balanced pelvic floor will make it much easier for you to have a comfortable and less-painful delivery of your baby.
