What is Pelvic Health Physiotherapy?

Pelvic health physiotherapy is a specialized type of care that focuses on the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues in the pelvic region. These muscles are responsible for supporting the bladder, bowel, and (for women) the uterus. When things aren’t functioning properly, they can cause problems like incontinence, pain, or reduced mobility.

Fun Fact: Your pelvic floor muscles are some of the hardest-working muscles in your body, but they’re often left out of traditional fitness routines!
