What is pelvic floor physiotherapy?

Pelvic floor physiotherapy (PFPT) is a specialized branch of physiotherapy involving internal and external assessment and treatment of the pelvic floor muscles. Those muscles are located between the hip bones and the tailbone. They serve as a bowl to support the pelvic organs including the bladder, colon and uterus.

Why might you need pelvic floor physiotherapy?

You may benefit from pelvic floor physiotherapy if you have any type of pelvic floor dysfunction. Pelvic floor dysfunction can be classified into two problems: your muscles are too tight or they are too weak.

Pelvic floor physiotherapy is recommended for a wide range of pelvic floor disorders: urinary incontinence, painful urination or periods, pelvic pain, organ prolapse, diastasis recti, sexual dysfunction, waking up at night to go pee, painful bowel movement, Weak pelvic floor in new mothers and more. Although common, such disorders are assumed to be something that you ‘just have to live with’.
