Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy: Reclaiming Strength, Confidence, and Control

Pelvic health is an essential yet often overlooked part of overall well-being. Many women experience issues such as pelvic pain, incontinence, prolapse, or discomfort after childbirth but hesitate to seek help. At Holistic Med Group, we believe that understanding and caring for your pelvic floor can transform your quality of life. Our pelvic floor physiotherapy program is designed to restore function, improve comfort, and empower you to move with confidence again.

Understanding the Pelvic Floor

The pelvic floor is a complex network of muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues that support the bladder, uterus, and rectum. These muscles work in harmony with the diaphragm, core, and hips to maintain stability, posture, and control over essential bodily functions. When they become weak, tense, or uncoordinated, symptoms can develop such as urinary leakage, pelvic pressure, pain during intimacy, and lower back discomfort.

Pelvic floor dysfunction can occur due to pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, surgery, chronic constipation, heavy lifting, or even stress. While these issues are common, they are not inevitable. With targeted therapy and guidance, the pelvic floor can be retrained and strengthened effectively.

How Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy Helps

Our pelvic floor physiotherapists use a holistic and evidence-based approach that combines internal and external techniques to assess and treat the underlying cause of dysfunction. Treatment may include:

• Gentle manual therapy to release muscle tension and improve circulation.

• Tailored strengthening or relaxation exercises to restore muscle balance.

• Education on proper breathing, posture, and bladder habits.

• Core retraining to ensure the pelvic floor functions efficiently with surrounding muscles.

• Biofeedback and guided awareness to help reconnect with the body and its natural rhythm.

Each session is personalized and conducted in a comfortable, supportive environment. Our practitioners take the time to listen to your story, address concerns, and build a care plan that meets your individual needs.

Beyond Recovery: Building Long-Term Wellness

Pelvic floor physiotherapy is not just about healing after childbirth or managing symptoms. It is about reclaiming control, improving sexual health, supporting hormonal balance, and enhancing overall well-being. Many women notice improved posture, reduced lower back pain, and a stronger sense of body awareness.

We also integrate complementary therapies such as manual osteopathy and lymphatic drainage to reduce inflammation, promote circulation, and support tissue healing. This whole-body approach ensures that recovery is not only effective but sustainable.
