Physiocare's Experience in Action
What is Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation?
Pelvic floor rehabilitation involves targeted pelvic muscle training (Kegels), biofeedback, manual therapy, and functional integration to treat pelvic dysfunction. Strong evidence supports it as first-line therapy, reducing urinary incontinence by over 40–70% and significantly improving pelvic prolapse and pelvic pain Early intervention post-partum or with prolapse may optimize outcomes and quality of life.
How Does Pelvic Floor Therapy Work?
Our female physiotherapist performs a comprehensive assessment—including internal palpation, posture, breath, and musculoskeletal alignment. Treatment employs tailored pelvic floor muscle training and core stabilization, guided by biofeedback or electrical stimulation. A 2024 RCT showed postpartum Kegels reduce incontinence more than core exercises alone. Manual therapy addresses myofascial trigger points, pelvic pain, and dyssynergia, supported by systematic reviews.
