The pelvic floor is a network of muscles, ligaments, and fascia at the base of your pelvis. It acts like a supportive sling for your bladder, bowel, uterus (in women), or prostate (in men). These muscles play a key role in:
- Urinary control
- Bowel control
- Sexual function
- Core stability
- Pelvic organ support
When the pelvic floor is weak, tight, or injured, it can lead to pain, leakage, or even organ prolapse.
Pelvic Floor Problems in Women
You may need pelvic floor physiotherapy if you experience:
- Urinary incontinence – leakage when sneezing, coughing, laughing, or exercising
- Pelvic organ prolapse – feeling of heaviness or bulging in the vaginal area
- Painful intercourse or discomfort during intimacy
- Chronic pelvic pain or pressure
- Postnatal pelvic floor weakness after childbirth
- Bowel incontinence or constipation
- Preparation for childbirth – strengthening before labour for smoother recovery
- Post-surgical pelvic care – after hysterectomy or gynaecological surgery
