​Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy Markham Ontario

Pelvic floor physiotherapy is a specialized form of physical therapy that focuses on the muscles, ligaments, and tissues supporting the pelvic organs. These muscles play a crucial role in bladder and bowel control, sexual function, and core stability. When the pelvic floor muscles become weak, tight, or dysfunctional, individuals may experience issues such as urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, or pelvic organ prolapse. Pelvic floor physiotherapy aims to assess, treat, and rehabilitate these muscles to improve function and alleviate symptoms.​

 

Benefits of Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy

Engaging in pelvic floor physiotherapy offers numerous advantages, including:​

• Improved Bladder and Bowel Control: Strengthening pelvic floor muscles can reduce urinary and fecal incontinence, decreasing leakage incidents.

• Alleviation of Pelvic Pain: Therapy can relieve discomfort caused by muscle tension or spasms in the pelvic region.

• Enhanced Sexual Function: Strengthened pelvic muscles can lead to increased sexual satisfaction and reduced pain during intercourse.

• Postpartum Recovery Support: Assists new mothers in regaining muscle strength and addressing issues like incontinence following childbirth. ​

• Prevention of Pelvic Organ Prolapse: Regular exercises help maintain organ positioning by supporting pelvic organs effectively. ​
   

Common Conditions Treated

Pelvic floor physiotherapy can address various conditions, including:

• Urinary Incontinence: Involuntary leakage of urine during activities like coughing, sneezing, or exercising.​

• Pelvic Organ Prolapse: Descent of pelvic organs causing pressure or bulging in the vaginal area.​

• Chronic Pelvic Pain: Ongoing pain in the pelvic region due to muscle dysfunction.​

• Dyspareunia: Painful intercourse resulting from tight or weakened pelvic muscles.​

• Post-Surgical Rehabilitation: Recovery support following surgeries like hysterectomy or prostatectomy.​
