What is Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy?
Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy is a specialized form of physiotherapy that focuses on assessing and treating conditions related to the pelvic floor muscles. These muscles support the bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs, playing a crucial role in core stability, urinary and bowel control, and sexual function. Weakness, tightness, or dysfunction in these muscles can lead to a variety of health concerns that impact daily life.
