Pelvic health is something many people struggle with in silence. Whether it’s leaking when you sneeze, persistent pelvic pain, difficulty with intimacy or recovery after childbirth, these issues are more common than you might think - and they are treatable.
Pelvic health physiotherapy is a specialised area of practice that addresses the muscles, joints and connective tissues of the pelvic region. It’s not just for women post-birth: pelvic health conditions affect people of all genders and ages, and physiotherapy can play a powerful role in recovery.
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that sit like a hammock across the base of your pelvis. These muscles support your bladder, bowel and uterus (in those who have one), control continence, and play an important role in sexual function, core stability and spinal support. When the pelvic floor is too weak, too tight, or poorly coordinated, a range of symptoms can emerge.
