A pelvic health physiotherapist assesses and treats the muscles, joints, nerves, and connective tissues of the pelvic floor. They help with issues like incontinence, pelvic pain, prolapse, postpartum recovery, and more. Treatment may include education, exercises, internal or external manual therapy, breathing techniques, and lifestyle strategies.
Not always. Internal exams help assess the pelvic floor muscles accurately, but they are optional and only performed with your full consent. If you prefer not to have one, your therapist can use alternative assessment methods and still create an effective treatment plan.
Definitely not! Pelvic floor physiotherapy helps women, men, and all gender identities. Men often seek treatment for pelvic pain, incontinence, post-prostatectomy recovery, or sexual dysfunction.
Extremely common. Research shows that 1 in 3 women experience urinary incontinence, and pelvic pain affects millions of people. Despite this, pelvic symptoms are often under-treated—pelvic physio is one of the most effective first-line treatments.
