Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy 

Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy in Lakeview 

Pelvic floor concerns can affect daily movement, exercise, bladder control, bowel function, intimacy, pregnancy, and recovery after childbirth or surgery. At Get Back Physiotherapy, we provide pelvic floor physiotherapy in Lakeview for people dealing with pelvic floor symptoms at different stages of life. 

Our physiotherapy sessions focus on identifying contributing factors and creating a treatment plan around your symptoms, movement patterns, strength, coordination, and daily activities. Whether you are dealing with leakage, pelvic discomfort, pelvic pressure, core weakness, or postpartum changes, our team can help you work toward improved pelvic function and confidence in everyday movement. 

What Is Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy? 

Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy in Lakeview focuses on the muscles, connective tissues, joints, nerves, and movement patterns associated with the pelvic region. 

The pelvic floor supports the bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs while contributing to continence, posture, core control, breathing, and movement. When these muscles become weak, tense, poorly coordinated, or affected by injury or childbirth, symptoms may develop. 

Treatment may include: 

  • Pelvic floor muscle assessment 
  • Breathing and pressure-management work 
  • Core and pelvic coordination exercises 
  • Mobility exercises 
  • Strength training 
  • Manual therapy when appropriate 
  • Bladder and bowel habit education 
  • Postpartum rehabilitation 
  • Scar-related treatment following C-section or other procedures 
  • Movement strategies for exercise and daily activities 

Our goal is to address the factors contributing to your symptoms while helping you build practical skills you can use outside the clinic. 

Who Can Benefit From Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy? 

Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy in Lakeview may be suitable for people experiencing pelvic health concerns before, during, or after major physical changes. 

You may consider an assessment if you are dealing with: 

  • Urinary leakage during coughing, sneezing, running, or exercise 
  • Frequent or urgent urination

  • Pelvic or lower abdominal discomfort

What Is Included? 

Pelvic Floor Assessment 

We begin by discussing your symptoms, health history, daily activities, exercise routine, pregnancy or birth history when relevant, and your goals. A physical assessment can then help identify areas that may be contributing to your concerns. 

Pelvic Floor Muscle Training 

Exercises may focus on contraction, relaxation, endurance, strength, and coordination depending on your assessment. 

Core Coordination 

The pelvic floor works alongside the diaphragm and abdominal muscles. We may use breathing and core exercises to improve coordination during movement. 

Postpartum Rehabilitation 

After pregnancy and childbirth, the abdominal wall, pelvic floor, posture, and movement patterns can change. Your program may address these areas progressively. 

Mobility and Manual Therapy 

When appropriate, hands-on treatment and mobility work may be used alongside exercise to address muscle and joint restrictions. 

Home Exercise Program 

We provide exercises and practical strategies that fit into your daily routine, allowing you to continue your rehabilitation between appointments.
