What is Pelvic Floor Rehab?
Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation is a specialized area of physiotherapy focusing on the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues in the pelvic region. These components play a crucial role in supporting the bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs. Weakness, tightness, or dysfunction in these muscles can lead to various conditions, including incontinence, pelvic pain, and prolapse.
