How Does Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy Work?

Pelvic floor physiotherapy works by targeting the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues that comprise the pelvic floor. Through specialized techniques and exercises, pelvic floor therapists aim to:

• Improve Muscle Strength and Coordination: Strengthen weak pelvic floor muscles and improve their ability to contract and relax effectively.
• Enhance Pelvic Floor Awareness: Increase awareness of pelvic floor muscles and improve mind-body connection.
• Address Dysfunction and Pain: Alleviate symptoms associated with pelvic floor dysfunction, such as urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, and pelvic organ prolapse.
• Promote Optimal Function: Restore balance and function to the pelvic floor, supporting urinary, bowel, and sexual health.

How Does a Pelvic Floor Therapist Examine You?

During a pelvic floor examination, your therapist will utilize a variety of techniques to assess the health and function of your pelvic floor muscles. This may include:

• Internal Examination: Your therapist may perform an internal examination to assess the strength, tone, and flexibility of your pelvic floor muscles. This examination is conducted with sensitivity and respect for your comfort and privacy.
• External Assessment: External assessment techniques may include observing your posture, assessing muscle strength and coordination, and palpating specific areas of tension or tenderness.

Our therapists prioritize your comfort and dignity throughout the examination process, ensuring that you feel supported and respected at all times.

Is Pelvic Floor Therapy Painful?

Pelvic floor therapy should not be painful. While you may experience some discomfort during certain treatment techniques or assessments, our therapists prioritize your comfort and well-being. We encourage open communication throughout your sessions, allowing us to adjust techniques and strategies to ensure your comfort and effectiveness of the treatment.

At PhysioLinks Rehab, our goal is to provide compassionate, evidence-based care that helps you achieve optimal pelvic health and overall wellness.
