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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation

Deep breathing exercises, gentle stretches, and myofascial release techniques help release muscle tension and improve relaxation.
High stress can lead to increased muscle tension, contributing to dysfunction, discomfort, and urinary urgency.
Studies show pelvic floor therapy significantly improves conditions like incontinence, prolapse, and chronic pain when done consistently.
A specialist assesses muscle function, designs personalized rehabilitation plans, and provides manual therapy and exercise guidance.
Proper posture aligns the pelvis, reducing strain on the muscles and promoting better core stability.

Due to injury, I needed to start physiotherapy at a new clinic because my previous physiotherapist is currently on maternity leave. To be honest, I was extremely nervous. As a plus size person, I was worried about being judged or body shamed, which unfortunately can be a real concern when seeking healthcare. I'm so grateful that my fears were completely unfounded. From the moment I called, the front desk staff was kind, welcoming, and respectful. They were able to get me in quickly, and I felt comfortable right from the start. My physiotherapist was compassionate, understanding, and completely focused on helping me recover from my injury—NOT on my body size. At no point did I feel judged, criticized, or made to feel uncomfortable. Instead, I felt listened to, respected, and supported. They took the time to explain everything, respected my boundaries, and only performed treatments that I was comfortable with. I never felt pressured into anything. Finding healthcare providers who treat you with dignity and respect can make all the difference, and that was absolutely my experience here. If you've ever been hesitant to seek treatment because you're worried about being judged for your body size, or the weight capacity of the physio tables I highly recommend this clinic. They made me feel safe, respected, and cared for throughout my visit.

I have been a patient at Physiocare on Greenbank for many years. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. You aren’t just a number here. The therapists care about you and want you to be feeling your best. Most recently I have been receiving regular weekly treatments by Nishika. She knows a lot about the body and the best ways to treat her patients. Her assistant Manjot is very kind and friendly and ensures your comfort when hooked up to machines. I enjoy chatting with her. Bhaumik has also stepped in to assist with my treatments when my regular team is busy helping other patients. His bedside manner is lovely and caring. He’s knowledgeable and goes the extra mile to ensure that you understand the treatment or exercise and that you are comfortable. I highly recommend this location for your physiotherapy.
