Pelvic Health Physiotherapy

CAUSES

Pelvic health issues often develop due to a combination of mechanical, postural and lifestyle factors.

Common Causes:

• Weak or overactive pelvic floor muscles
• Poor posture or faulty movement patterns
• Repetitive strain from daily activities
• Pregnancy, childbirth or surgery
• Heavy lifting or high-impact exercise
• Chronic stress affecting muscle coordination

Identifying the cause helps avoid symptom-based treatment alone.

TREATMENT

Pelvic health physiotherapy focuses on restoring balance, strength, and coordination rather than isolated muscle exercises.

Options:

1. Pelvic floor muscle retraining
2. Core stability and posture correction
3. Breathing and movement integration
4. Functional strengthening programs
5. Education for safe daily and exercise movements

Programs are tailored to individual needs and progress gradually.

Includes:

• Detailed history and symptom discussion
• Posture and movement evaluation
• Core and pelvic coordination assessment

The assessment helps understand how pelvic function integrates with overall movement.
