Regain confidence and comfort with Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy
Did you know that pelvic floor physiotherapy can help with core strength, bladder control, and pain relief?
At Blue Oak Physiotherapy and Wellness, we specialize in offering expert care and management for pelvic floor dysfunctions. The pelvic health program at our clinic focuses on muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues that support the pelvic organs. These organs include the bladder, uterus (in women), prostate (in men), and rectum.
Pelvic floor dysfunction can occur due to various conditions such as aging, obesity, chronic cough, constipation, heavy lifting, prolonged sitting, diabetes, neurological conditions, stress, trauma, surgical procedures, or certain medications. Pelvic floor muscles are crucial for proper functioning of bowels, bladder, sexual function and most importantly for the core stability.
Your pelvic health physiotherapist will take your full medical history and thoroughly discuss your current symptoms to assess and treat.
