Pelvic Health Physiotherapy pertains to the assessment, treatment and prevention of various pelvic health disorders. The pelvic floor consists of muscles, nerves, ligaments, and fascia located at the bottom of the pelvis. These muscles rest like a supportive hammock, spanning from the pubic bone to the tailbone. The pelvic floor is responsible for supporting the internal pelvic organs including the uterus and bladder. When the pelvic floor is working in optimal function the structures allow for bowel and bladder control, pelvic organ support, and pain free sexual functions. Pelvic Health Dysfunction can contribute to incontinence, difficulties with emptying the bowel and bladder, pelvic organ prolapse, chronic pelvic pain, sexual pain and pregnancy related pain.
