What is Pelvic Physiotherapy?
Pelvic physiotherapy is a specialized branch of physical therapy that focuses on treating conditions related to the pelvic floor. The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that support the bladder, uterus, and bowel. When these muscles become weak, tight, or imbalanced, it can lead to various health concerns such as incontinence, pelvic pain, and prolapse.
At ALIGN, our expert therapists provide effective and compassionate pelvic physiotherapy to help women regain strength, control, and confidence. Whether you're dealing with pregnancy-related discomfort or recovering from surgery, our goal is to improve your quality of life through focused, personalized care.
