Pelvic Health Physiotherapy
What is Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy?
Pelvic floor physiotherapy is a specialized form of physiotherapy that involves assessing and treating conditions resulting in the dysfunction of the pelvic floor muscles. Pelvic floor disorders could look like the following: Urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, pain with bowel movements or urination, pelvic organ prolapse, constipation, painful intercourse (Dyspareunia, Vaginismus), pain in areas of the vagina (Vestibulodynia, Vulvodynia or Clitorodynia), Painful Bladder Syndrome, Endometriosis, and chronic pelvic pain. Assessment and treatment of the pelvic floor is done externally as well as internally (vaginally and/or rectally), as many of these muscles cannot be felt from the outside. It is tightness and/or weakness in these muscles that can cause pain and incontinence. Through pelvic health physiotherapy treatment, the pelvic floor can return to its normal function.
