What Is Pelvic Health Physiotherapy?

Pelvic health physiotherapy is a specialized branch of physical therapy that focuses on the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues of the pelvic floor. This group of muscles forms a hammock-like structure at the base of your pelvis, supporting your bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs.

The pelvic floor plays a crucial role in:

Continence and bladder control
Sexual function and satisfaction
Core stability and posture

When pelvic floor dysfunction occurs, it can manifest as incontinence, pelvic pain, sexual dysfunction, or a feeling of heaviness in the pelvic region. These conditions are far more common than most people realize, yet many suffer in silence, unaware that effective treatment exists.

Pelvic health physiotherapy addresses these concerns through:

Pelvic floor exercises
Manual therapy techniques

For a comprehensive overview of how pelvic health physiotherapy works, read our guide on understanding pelvic health. You may also find our article on core activation helpful, as the pelvic floor is a fundamental part of your core system.

Biofeedback training
Lifestyle education

This specialized care is beneficial for people of all genders and ages. While often associated with postpartum recovery, pelvic health physiotherapy is equally valuable for those experiencing symptoms during pregnancy, menopause, after prostate surgery, or as a result of aging, chronic constipation, or high-impact activities. It’s also effective for addressing back pain, hip pain, and sciatica when they’re connected to pelvic floor dysfunction.

At At Ease Physio in South Surrey, we provide compassionate, private care for all pelvic health conditions. Our Morgan Crossing clinic offers private treatment rooms and practitioners trained specifically in pelvic health assessment and treatment.
