Pelvic floor

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that support the bladder, bowel, and (in women) the uterus, and help with continence and core stability. When these muscles are weak, tight, or poorly coordinated, they can contribute to leaking, pelvic pain, or issues during and after pregnancy.

Pelvic-floor physiotherapy offers sensitive, effective, conservative care — using assessment, tailored exercises, and practical guidance to restore function and confidence. In this section you'll find evidence-based content on pelvic-floor assessment and management, including pre- and postnatal rehabilitation — written to support clinicians and explained clearly and respectfully for the people they treat.
