The treatments recommended will be tailored to your individual symptoms and goals
and may include:
โ Exercises to improve the strength, endurance, and coordination of the pelvic floor
muscles
โ Exercises, stretches, manual therapy, and other techniques to help relax an
overactive or tense pelvic floor
โ Advice and education on lifestyle factors to support bladder and bowel health,
such as managing constipation and adjusting fluid intake
โ Education to help you better understand persistent pelvic pain, along with
strategies to help manage and reduce it
โ Exercises to rebuild core strength following pregnancy, childbirth, injury, or pelvic
surgery
โ Guidance on safely returning to physical activity after pregnancy, childbirth, or
pelvic surgery
โ Advice on the appropriate use of rehabilitation adjuncts, which may include pelvic
floor electrical stimulation, biofeedback, continence devices, or dilators to help
manage pain during vaginal penetration

conditions. Many people with pelvic health concerns do not require adjuncts as part of
their treatment.
What to expect at your first pelvic health physiotherapy appointment
We understand that discussing pelvic health concerns can feel daunting or
embarrassing. We are committed to helping you feel comfortable and supported
throughout your appointment.
Your physiotherapist will begin by taking a detailed medical history to better understand your symptoms and how they affect your daily life. This will often include questions about bladder, bowel, and sexual function, as well as any other relevant healthconcerns.
This holistic approach allows your treatment plan to be fully personalised.
This discussion may be followed by a physical examination. Depending on your
symptoms, this may involve assessing movement and function of areas such as your
back, hips, and pelvis, as well as testing specific muscle groups. This helps identify any
movement or muscle factors that may be contributing to your pelvic health concerns.
