What is Pelvic Health Physical Therapy?
Pelvic health physical therapy is the specialized assessment and treatment of the pelvic floor muscles, ligaments, and nerves. Think of these muscles as a “hammock” at the base of your pelvis that supports your bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs.
When these muscles become too tight or too weak, it can cause pain, incontinence, or dysfunction.
Our approach to Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy in Coquitlam focuses on retraining these muscles. Through hands-on therapy and specific exercises, we restore proper function to help you feel strong, stable, and in control again
