Support for a Stronger, More Comfortable Everyday Life
Pelvic Floor Therapy
Pelvic floor therapy is a specialized form of physiotherapy focused on the muscles, joints, and connective tissues that support the bladder, bowel, core, and pelvis. Whether you’re dealing with discomfort, weakness, pressure, pain, or postpartum changes, treatment is designed to help restore function, improve control, and help you feel more confident in your body again.
What Is Pelvic Floor Therapy?
Pelvic floor physiotherapy focuses on assessing and treating dysfunction within the muscles and structures of the pelvis, low back, hips, and core. These muscles play a major role in bladder and bowel control, stability, posture, recovery after pregnancy, and overall daily comfort.
At Attain Health, treatment plans are personalized and may include hands-on therapy, guided exercises, education, breathing techniques, posture correction, and lifestyle recommendations based on your individual needs and goals.

Pelvic Floor Therapy FAQ's
What is Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy?
Your pelvic floor muscles are a group of muscles that sit inside of the base of your pelvis and surround the genitals, pelvic organs and pelvic joints. Pelvic floor dysfunction occurs when these muscles are too tight or weak and can cause pelvic pain, painful intercourse, and bladder/bowel issues.
Pelvic floor physiotherapy is used to assess, diagnose, and treat problems related to the pelvic floor muscles. Just like other muscles in your body, your pelvic floor muscles need a balance of strength, mobility, and flexibility to function well. Pelvic floor physiotherapy helps to restore imbalances so that the body can move and function as it was designed to.
What Conditions can Pelvic Floor Therapy Help With?
Pelvic floor physiotherapy may help with bladder leakage, pelvic pain, core weakness, postpartum recovery, pelvic pressure, discomfort during movement, and other symptoms connected to the muscles and structures of the pelvis and core.
Is Pelvic Floor Therapy Only for Women?
No. While pelvic floor therapy is commonly associated with pregnancy and postpartum recovery, pelvic floor dysfunction can affect both men and women. Treatment is tailored to the individual and their symptoms.
What are the Common Conditions Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy can Help?
- Pelvic Pain
- Bladder/bowel issues (incontinence, dribbling)
- Painful intercourse
- Prenatal/Postnatal Dysfunction
- Pelvic organ prolapse
- Diastasic rectus abdominus (abdominal “separation”)
- Pubic symphysis dysfunction
- Groin pain
What can I Expect at your First Pelvic Floor Physio Appointment?
Your first visit is about an hour and includes a full discussion about your symptoms, health history, and how the condition is affecting your daily life, mood, and relationships.
The assessment takes a whole-body approach and may include the abdomen, back, and pelvis. An internal vaginal or rectal exam may be recommended to assess pelvic floor function more accurately, but only with your consent, and treatment can still be effective without it.
The session usually ends with treatment and follow-up recommendations, which may include education, hands-on therapy, exercises, and activity changes.
