What Is The Pelvic Floor?
The pelvic floor muscles are a group of muscles that stretch across the bottom of the pelvis, forming a supportive "hammock" or "basket." These muscles play a crucial role in supporting the internal organs of the lower abdomen, including the bladder, uterus (in women), and rectum. The pelvic floor muscles help control essential bodily functions such as urination, bowel movements, and sexual activity.
In addition to controlling the release of urine and stool, they also assist in maintaining proper posture by stabilizing the pelvis and lower back. During childbirth, the pelvic floor muscles stretch to allow the passage of the baby. Healthy pelvic floor muscles are important for preventing conditions like incontinence, prolapse (when organs drop down), and pelvic pain.
Key Functions of the Pelvic Floor
Supports Internal Organs: It holds up organs like the bladder, uterus, and rectum, helping them stay in place.
Controls Urination: The pelvic floor muscles help control when you pee by relaxing and contracting.
Aids in Bowel Control: They help control bowel movements by tightening and relaxing when needed.
Sexual Function: The pelvic floor muscles contribute to sexual sensations and orgasms.
Childbirth: In women, these muscles stretch to allow for the passage of a baby during childbirth.

What can I expect at my first pelvic floor therapy visit?
Our pelvic floor physiotherapy initial assessment is a thorough and compassionate process designed to understand your unique needs and create a tailored treatment plan to improve your pelvic health. The assessment begins with a detailed review of your medical history, including any current or past pregnancies, surgeries, injuries, or ongoing pelvic health concerns such as urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, or prolapse.
Following the medical history review, we conduct a physical examination to assess your posture, abdominal and pelvic muscle function, alignment, and movement patterns. We may also evaluate your pelvic floor muscle strength and coordination, both externally and, if appropriate, through internal examination (with your consent) to better understand the condition of the pelvic floor muscles.
A key part of the assessment is evaluating any symptoms you may be experiencing, such as bladder issues, pelvic pain, or sexual dysfunction, and understanding how these symptoms impact your daily life and activities. If needed, additional diagnostic tests or imaging may be recommended to further assess the pelvic region.
Based on the findings, we develop a personalized treatment plan aimed at addressing any dysfunctions, relieving pain, and improving overall pelvic floor health. This plan may include pelvic floor exercises, manual therapy techniques, posture correction, breathing exercises, and lifestyle advice tailored to your specific concerns.
Once the treatment plan is established, we begin your pelvic floor physiotherapy sessions, focusing on strengthening, relaxing, and retraining the pelvic floor muscles. Our goal is to help you regain control, reduce discomfort, and improve your overall quality of life, empowering you to feel more confident and comfortable in your body.
