Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy Brisbane
What is Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy?
Pelvic floor physiotherapy focuses on treating the muscles that support your bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs. This vital set of muscles can become weak, tight, or overworked for various reasons such as pregnancy, childbirth, surgery, ageing, or just everyday habits. As pelvic floor physiotherapists, it’s our job to help you improve the strength, coordination, and relaxation of these muscles.
Our pelvic floor physiotherapist will help you understand what is happening in your body and guide you through the recovery process with personalised exercises, hands-on treatment, and simple lifestyle adjustments. Our goal is to reduce your discomfort, improve your bladder and/or bowel control, and help you regain your confidence.
What Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy Services Does Physiophi Offer?
Just as some health challenges are unique to women, each woman’s challenges are unique to her. A professional consultation with Physiophi can diagnose and treat the following conditions (among others):
Diastasis of the rectus abdominis (DRAM)
Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Pelvic Girdle Pain
Pre and Postnatal Care
Who Is Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy For?
Pelvic floor physiotherapy can be a game-changer for anyone experiencing issues with their bladder or bowel control, as well as those with feelings of heaviness or weakness in the pelvic area.
This type of therapy is commonly recommended both during pregnancy and after childbirth, but it’s also used to support people recovering from surgery, dealing with prolapse symptoms, or experiencing discomfort during exercise or their daily life.
Pelvic floor physiotherapy can be beneficial for men and women alike, especially for those with ongoing pelvic tension, post-prostate surgery, or weakness in their core. Due to the gentle nature of pelvic floor physiotherapy, this treatment is viable for adults of all ages.
