About Pelvic Floor Therapy
Pelvic Floor Therapy, also known as pelvic health physiotherapy, is a specialized area of physiotherapy focused on the assessment and treatment of the pelvic floor muscles and related structures. These muscles form a sling at the base of the pelvis and play a crucial role in supporting pelvic organs, controlling bladder and bowel function, and contributing to sexual health. Pelvic floor dysfunction can arise from various factors, including childbirth, surgery, aging, chronic coughing, or heavy lifting, leading to a range of symptoms that can significantly impact quality of life.
