Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy
​Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy is a specialization among physiotherapists involving internal and external treatment of the pelvic floor. The pelvic floor muscles help support pelvic organs and bowel/bladder control. Symptoms of an unhealthy pelvic floor can include urinary leakage, incontinence, feeling of vaginal heaviness, pelvic pain or pressure, constipation, etc.
​
Our Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist has further studied and experienced in treating pre-natal and post-natal pelvic floor conditions. These include preparing your body and pelvic floor for smooth delivery, managing pain throughout pregnancy, and recovery after delivery (abdominal separation, tears and scar management, etc.), ensuring safe return to activities
