Empowering You to Take Control of Your Pelvic Health
At ActiveCare Physiotherapy & Rehab, we understand that pelvic health is an essential aspect of your overall well-being, yet it’s often overlooked. Whether you are experiencing urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, or require postpartum recovery, our Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy services are here to empower you with the tools and knowledge to regain control of your pelvic health and live a confident, active life.
What is Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy?
Pelvic floor physiotherapy is a specialized field focused on diagnosing and treating issues related to the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues of the pelvic floor. These muscles play a critical role in bladder and bowel control, sexual function, and support for your core and pelvic organs. Dysfunction in these muscles can lead to symptoms like incontinence, pelvic pain, or discomfort during pregnancy or after childbirth.
Our Approach to Pelvic Floor Therapy
At ActiveCare, we take a comprehensive, personalized approach to pelvic floor care. We understand that every body is unique, which is why we tailor our treatments to suit your specific needs.
Your pelvic floor physiotherapy journey begins with a one-on-one consultation and thorough assessment. Our highly trained pelvic health specialists will review your medical history, assess your pelvic muscles, and discuss your symptoms and goals.
