What Is Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy?
Pelvic floor physiotherapy is a specialized branch of physiotherapy that assesses and treats the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissue of the pelvic floor — the group of muscles forming the base of the pelvis that support the bladder, bowel, and uterus. These muscles play a critical role in bladder and bowel control, sexual function, and core stability.
Assessment may include an internal examination (with your full consent and at your comfort level) to directly evaluate pelvic floor muscle tone, strength, and coordination. Treatment uses a combination of manual therapy, biofeedback, therapeutic exercise, and education to restore optimal pelvic floor function. Many patients see significant improvement within a few sessions.

What to Expect at Your First Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy Appointment
We understand that pelvic floor physiotherapy can feel unfamiliar. Here is exactly what happens at Wellness Place:
- Confidential intake (20 min): Your physiotherapist takes a detailed health history covering symptoms, obstetric history, lifestyle, and goals — in a private, judgment-free environment.
- External assessment: Postural analysis, breathing mechanics, and abdominal assessment (checking for diastasis recti, core coordination).
- Internal assessment (with consent): A gentle internal examination to assess pelvic floor muscle tone, strength, endurance, and coordination. You are in complete control — you can pause or stop at any time.
- Education and explanation: Your physiotherapist explains findings in clear, non-clinical terms and answers all your questions.
- Initial treatment and home program: Treatment begins at the first visit and you receive a personalized exercise program to continue at home.
Sessions are 45–60 minutes. Most patients attend weekly initially, adjusting as improvement progresses.
