  1. Top 5 Things to Know about Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy

  2. What is Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy? Pelvic floor physiotherapy focuses on the muscles, ligaments, and tissues supporting pelvic organs. It's a specialized form of physical therapy that aims to treat dysfunctions such as incontinence, pelvic pain, and prolapse. Trained physiotherapists use exercises, manual therapy, and biofeedback to help strengthen or relax these muscles for improved function and relief.

  3. Conditions Treated Pelvic floor physiotherapy treats a variety of conditions including urinary and fecal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, chronic pelvic pain, and postpartum recovery issues. It also helps with sexual dysfunction and interstitial cystitis. The therapy is tailored to individual needs, addressing both overactive and underactive pelvic floor muscles for optimal health.

  4. Assessment Process During the initial assessment, the physiotherapist conducts a thorough evaluation, including medical history, pelvic floor muscle examination, and functional tests. This may involve internal and external palpation to assess muscle tone, strength, and coordination. The goal is to identify specific dysfunctions and create a personalized treatment plan to address the patient's unique concerns.

  5. Treatment Techniques Treatment techniques in pelvic floor physiotherapy include manual therapy, biofeedback, electrical stimulation, and tailored exercise programs. Manual therapy involves hands-on techniques to release tension and improve muscle function. Biofeedback uses sensors to provide real-time information on muscle activity, helping patients learn control. Customized exercises strengthen or relax the pelvic floor as needed.

  6. Benefits of Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy Pelvic floor physiotherapy offers numerous benefits, including improved bladder and bowel control, reduced pelvic pain, enhanced sexual function, and better postpartum recovery. It can also prevent the need for surgery in some cases. By addressing the root cause of pelvic dysfunctions, it helps patients regain confidence and improve their overall quality of life.
