Pelvic Physiotherapy
What is Pelvic Physiotherapy?
Pelvic Physiotherapy is a specialized area of physiotherapy dedicated to the assessment and treatment of pelvic floor dysfunctions — a group of muscles and ligaments located at the base of the pelvis, responsible for supporting organs such as the bladder, uterus (in women), and intestines.
These muscles play a crucial role in controlling urine and bowel movements, sexual function, and maintaining posture.
When they are weak, tense, or uncoordinated, symptoms such as urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, prolapse (organ descent), or sexual difficulties may occur.
Pelvic physiotherapy helps restore strength, mobility, and muscle control, promoting improved quality of life, confidence, and intimate well-being.

Who Is It Recommended For?
Pelvic Physiotherapy is recommended for individuals experiencing changes or discomfort in the pelvic region, such as urinary or fecal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, chronic pelvic pain, or sexual dysfunctions, including pain during intercourse or difficulty with muscle control.
It is also recommended for post-partum and post-pelvic surgery recovery, helping to strengthen and retrain the muscles in the area, promoting greater comfort and confidence.
During pregnancy, it can be an important tool for birth preparation, enhancing control, relaxation, and the prevention of complications.
