What is pelvic floor therapy?

The pelvic floor includes the muscles, tissues and nerves that support the pelvis. Pelvic floor therapy is a specialized form of rehabilitation aimed at strengthening and improving the function of the pelvic floor muscles. It addresses issues such as incontinence, pelvic pain and sexual dysfunction. The therapy often involves exercises, education on posture and body mechanics and lifestyle modifications to enhance overall pelvic health. 

Who can benefit and how?

Anyone suffering from pelvic floor disorders can benefit from pelvic floor therapy. Damage or weakness in pelvic floor muscles and tissues may develop over time or may result from injury or illness. Common causes include being overweight, cancer treatment, pregnancy and childbirth and surgery.

Pelvic floor therapy aids recovery from surgeries for both men and women. For women, it often benefits those recovering from hysterectomies, pelvic organ prolapse repairs and cesarean sections. For men, it supports recovery from prostate surgeries, bladder repairs and hernia repairs.
