Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy
freedom of movement
Pelvic floor physiotherapy (PFPT) is a specialized form of physiotherapy that focuses on assessing and treating dysfunction in the pelvic floor muscles, which is the group of muscles that support the pelvic organs including the bladder, uterus/prostate, and rectum. These muscles play a key role in bladder and bowel control, sexual function, and core stability. Whether you are are experiencing discomfort, dysfunction or just looking for preventative care, our trained physiotherapist can help!
Our pelvic floor physiotherapist is trained to:
assess muscle strength, tension, and coordination
provide manual therapy (internal & external techniques)
guide you through specific exercises to strengthen or relax the muscles
offer education on posture, breathing, and lifestyle changes
