Understanding Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy

Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy is a unique service that focuses on improving your pelvic health - a crucial aspect of your overall well-being. Our specialized therapists at Revive Physiotherapy and Wellness are skilled in treating a range of conditions affecting both men and women, by specifically targeting the structures of the pelvic region. 


The pivotal role of this therapy lies in its emphasis on the pelvic floor muscles, which provide vital support to the bladder, uterus (in females), and rectum. When these muscles exhibit signs of weakness, tightness or dysfunction, it can lead to issues such as incontinence, pelvic pain, and sexual dysfunction. Through tailored exercises, biofeedback, and hands-on therapy, our therapists effectively address these concerns, enhancing the function of your pelvic floor muscles.

The Benefits of Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy

Improved Continence

Pelvic floor physiotherapy targets the muscles that control bladder function. By strengthening these muscles, the therapy can help to reduce instances of both stress and urge incontinence, giving you better control and confidence.

Pain Reduction

Many people experience chronic pelvic pain due to dysfunction in the pelvic muscles. Pelvic floor physiotherapy provides targeted treatment to ease this discomfort, leading to significant improvements in overall quality of life.

Enhanced Sexual Function

Dysfunction in the pelvic floor muscles can impact sexual function. Through exercises and manual therapy, pelvic floor physiotherapy can enhance sexual health and satisfaction, restoring vitality in your intimate relationships.

Ideal Candidates for Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy

Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy is not exclusive to any gender or age group - it is beneficial for anyone experiencing issues in the pelvic region. This includes women who may be dealing with postpartum recovery, individuals suffering from urinary incontinence, or those experiencing sexual dysfunction. 


Even men facing prostate health concerns can find relief through this therapy. It's also highly recommended for those undergoing gynecological surgeries or grappling with chronic pelvic pain. At Revive Physiotherapy and Wellness, we believe that understanding and addressing pelvic health is a crucial step towards enhanced overall well-being.
