Benefits To Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy

Pelvic floor physical therapy focuses on the low back and pelvis as a whole and specifically seeks to help to coordinate the pelvic floor muscles. Think of the pelvic floor as a hammock of muscles connecting from your pubic bone at the front and your tailbone in the back.

Women’s pelvic floor muscles support the uterus, bladder, and colon and men’s pelvic floor muscles support the bladder, prostate, and bowel. In both women and men, the rectum and urethra as the pass through the pelvic floor to transfer contents from inside the body to outside the body.
