Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy

The pelvic floor is an important sling of muscles in the “saddle” area of the pelvis. It is attached at the front of the pelvis on the pubic bone, and at the back of the pelvis on the tailbone (coccyx); located inside your pelvis bowl. A strong pelvic floor provides support to the internal organs of the body, aids in bladder and bowel control, and enhances sexual enjoyment.

Dysfunction of the pelvic floor muscles may occur at any age, from bedwetting in childhood, to post-partum issues for women after the birth of a baby, to men at any age, to women’s peri-menopausal years. Pelvic floor muscle dysfunction often causes incontinence, sexual pain, and pelvic organ prolapse in women.

As the issue is personal, many women ignore the discomfort and don't openly talk about it. The Canadian Continence Foundation estimates 1 in 3 women suffers from pelvic floor disorders and there is help available. Know that you are not alone and there is absolutely nothing to be anxious about!

At Capital Wellness Clinic, we develop our Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation Programs according to your needs, and these programs are far less invasive than surgical or pharmaceutical treatments.

There may be several different causes of pelvic floor muscle disorder, which makes unique rehabilitation programs necessary to cater to the individual's needs. The good news is that this degree of customization is highly effective at addressing the underlying issues and resolving the symptoms.

Our specially trained physiotherapist Jumana Khambatwala will help you understand your condition, their causes and provide you with specifically designed exercise programs with hands-on treatments.

With minimal lifestyle changes, coupled with carefully designed exercises, you can see massive improvements.
