Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles, ligaments and connective tissue that stretches like a supportive sling across the base of the pelvis. It supports the bladder, bowel and (in women) the uterus, helps control the passage of urine, wind and stool, contributes to core and spinal stability, and plays a role in sexual function. When these muscles are weak, overactive, poorly coordinated or injured, it can lead to leakage, urgency, constipation, heaviness, pain and reduced confidence in everyday life.

Pelvic floor problems are very common — especially after pregnancy and childbirth, around menopause, after pelvic or prostate surgery, and with ageing, chronic constipation or heavy lifting — yet many people put up with symptoms for years because they feel embarrassed or assume nothing can be done. Pelvic floor muscle training under the guidance of a physiotherapist is recommended as a first-line treatment for many of these conditions, and good results are often achieved without medication or surgery.

Our Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation program offers comprehensive, individualised care focused on pelvic floor strength, coordination, relaxation and functional recovery. Treatment is tailored to address urinary and bowel dysfunction, pelvic pain, pregnancy and postpartum concerns, and other pelvic health conditions through specialised assessment and evidence-based physiotherapy — in a private, respectful and supportive setting.

Common Signs of Pelvic Floor Dysfunction

• Leaking urine when coughing, sneezing, laughing, lifting, running or jumping
• A sudden, strong urge to pass urine, needing to rush to the toilet, or going very frequently (including at night)
• Difficulty emptying the bladder or bowel fully, straining, or a slow or interrupted urine stream
• Leakage of wind or stool, or difficulty controlling the bowel
• A feeling of heaviness, bulging or dragging in the vagina or pelvis
• Pain in the pelvis, lower back, hips, tailbone, genitals or perineum
• Pain during or after intercourse, or when using tampons
• Abdominal separation or a weak, unsupported core after pregnancy

Assessment May Include

• A detailed, confidential discussion of your symptoms, medical, obstetric and surgical history
• Bladder and bowel habit review, including a bladder diary where helpful
• Posture, breathing, abdominal wall (including diastasis recti) and hip and spine assessment
• Assessment of pelvic floor muscle strength, endurance, coordination and relaxation — explained fully beforehand and carried out only with your informed consent
• Standardised outcome measures and symptom questionnaires to track progress
• Screening for symptoms that need medical review, with referral to your doctor or specialist where appropriate

Our Approach

Every program begins with education — understanding how your pelvic floor works and what is contributing to your symptoms. Treatment is not simply “doing Kegels”: some people need to strengthen, while others need to learn to relax overactive, tight muscles. We combine individualised pelvic floor training with breathing, posture, core and whole-body exercise, bladder and bowel retraining and practical lifestyle strategies, and progress your program towards the activities that matter to you — whether that is lifting your child, returning to running, exercising at the gym or simply getting through the day without worry.

What to Expect

Most people attend a course of sessions spread over several weeks to a few months, alongside a daily home exercise program. Muscle training typically needs consistent practice over at least three months to achieve its full effect, and many people notice improvement well before this. Your therapist will review your progress regularly and adjust your plan as your symptoms change. Sessions are conducted in a private treatment room, and you are always in control — you can ask questions, pause or decline any part of the assessment or treatment at any time.

When to See a Doctor Promptly

Please seek medical advice if you notice blood in your urine or stool, new or unexplained pelvic pain, fever or burning with urination, sudden loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness around the genitals or buttocks, or unexplained weight loss. New loss of bladder or bowel control with numbness in the saddle area and back or leg pain requires immediate emergency medical care.
