Pelvic Floor Physio
Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy is a specialized form of treatment that focuses on the muscles, joints, and connective tissues in the pelvic region. These muscles support bladder and bowel control, sexual function, and core stability. When they are weak, tight, or imbalanced, they can cause pain, discomfort, or dysfunction in your daily life. This therapy uses a combination of gentle internal and external techniques to restore movement, reduce tension, and improve pelvic health naturally and effectively.
Who Can Benefit?
Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy is beneficial for people of all genders, ages, and stages of life. Whether you're managing discomfort, preparing for a major life event, or simply want to improve your core and pelvic health, this specialized therapy offers safe and effective support.
