Pelvic floor physiotherapy is a specialized field within physical therapy that focuses on treating dysfunctions associated with the structures in and around the pelvis. The primary aim of this branch of physical therapy is to address pelvic health conditions, including urinary incontinence, anorectal disorders, persistent pelvic pain, pregnancy/postpartum issues, pelvic organ prolapse and much more!

The core objective of pelvic floor physiotherapy is to restore optimal function in the pelvic region through a thorough assessment and targeted treatment of the relevant structures. This may involve a range of techniques, such as pelvic floor muscle contraction and relaxation, release of muscular tension and connective tissue, utilization of breathing and relaxation techniques, tailored exercise prescriptions, stretching exercises, and biofeedback as necessary. By addressing the musculoskeletal, neural, and connective tissue systems, we ensure a comprehensive and individualized approach to effectively treat each person’s specific condition.

At Motiva Santé, we offer a comprehensive approach to pelvic health conditions by leveraging the expertise of our diverse team. Our collaborative team consists of osteopaths, dietitians, and physical therapists who work together to provide holistic care to our patients.
