The pelvic floor is a muscular and fascial support sling in the base of the pelvis. These tissues help to provide the continence mechanism by closing off the urethra (i.e wee tube) and anus (i.e rectum) as well as provide additional support to the pelvic organs (the bladder, bowel and uterus). The pelvic floor muscles also form part of your core muscles, along with your diaphragm, deep tummy muscles and the deep spinal muscles. 

When there is an imbalance or weakness in these tissues, pelvic floor dysfunction can occur. Pelvic floor physiotherapy works to treat any imbalances in the pelvis (both externally and internally if indicated) and is suitable for all life stages.

If you are experiencing symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction, the team at Flow Pelvic Physio in Hampton will provide you with a specific management plan. We hold a supportive, non-judgemental space where you can feel comfortable to address your concerns.
