Pelvic floor concerns can affect your comfort, confidence, daily activities, exercise, and quality of life. At Legend Physiotherapy & Wellness, we provide personalized pelvic floor physiotherapy to help you better understand your symptoms and work toward improved strength, coordination, comfort, and function.
Whether you are experiencing bladder leakage, pelvic pain, pregnancy-related discomfort, or changes after childbirth, our physiotherapy team takes the time to understand your concerns and create a treatment plan around your individual needs.
Pelvic floor physiotherapy focuses on the muscles and tissues that support the pelvic organs and work with your core and breathing system. These muscles play an important role in bladder and bowel control, pelvic support, sexual function, and everyday movement.
Your pelvic floor muscles may need to become stronger, more flexible, more relaxed, or better coordinated depending on your symptoms. Pelvic floor physiotherapy looks at how these muscles are functioning rather than assuming that everyone needs the same exercises.
Your first appointment begins with a private conversation about your symptoms, health history, daily activities, and goals. Your physiotherapist may assess your posture, breathing, abdominal and pelvic muscle function, movement patterns, strength, and coordination to better understand your needs.
Depending on your symptoms and assessment, your physiotherapist may discuss a more specific pelvic floor assessment. An internal assessment or treatment is never something you have to assume will happen. Your physiotherapist will explain the process, answer your questions, and obtain your consent before proceeding.
Your treatment may include pelvic floor exercises, relaxation techniques, breathing exercises, core rehabilitation, movement training, education, and hands-on treatment when appropriate. Pelvic floor rehabilitation is not always about strengthening. Some people have muscles that are too tight or have difficulty relaxing, so learning how to release and coordinate the muscles can also be an important part of treatment.
Your physiotherapist may recommend a combination of exercises and techniques based on your symptoms and treatment goals, such as:
Pelvic floor exercises:
Help improve muscle strength, control, and endurance.
Relaxation exercises:
Help release pelvic floor tension and improve muscle flexibility.
Breathing techniques:
Support better coordination between your breathing, core, and pelvic floor muscles.
Core strengthening:
Helps improve stability and support during everyday movements.
Mobility exercises:
Improve movement and flexibility around the hips, pelvis, and lower back.
Hands-on techniques:
May help reduce muscle tension and improve movement when appropriate.
Bladder and bowel strategies:
Provide practical guidance to support healthier daily habits.
