Whether you’re experiencing pelvic pain, bladder changes, postpartum symptoms or another pelvic health concern, our physiotherapists can help determine an appropriate treatment approach.
What is Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy?
Pelvic floor physiotherapy targets the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues that support the bladder, uterus or prostate, and bowels. When these structures become weak, tight, or uncoordinated, they can cause pain, discomfort, and daily functional challenges.
Treatment may include manual techniques, education, individualized exercises, lifestyle adjustments, and strategies to improve muscle coordination.

Frequently Asked Questions
Pelvic floor physiotherapy focuses on assessing and treating the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues of the pelvic region to improve strength, coordination, and function.
People with pelvic pain, incontinence, prolapse, postpartum issues, pregnancy discomfort, or pelvic muscle dysfunction can benefit. Both women and men may need this treatment.
Your therapist takes a detailed history, assesses pelvic floor muscle function (internal or external based on comfort), identifies contributing factors, and creates a tailored treatment plan.
Treatment is generally gentle. Some techniques may feel slightly uncomfortable depending on the condition, but your therapist always works within your comfort level.
This depends on symptoms, severity, and how your body responds. Many patients notice improvement within a few sessions, while chronic or long-standing issues may require a longer plan.
