Pelvic Floor Therapy

Pelvic floor therapy treats the muscles and connective tissue of the pelvic diaphragm. A healthy pelvic floor supports the lower back, core, and hips. It also helps maintain adequate blood flow within the region. These are important factors in men’s and women’s health.

Pelvic floor dysfunction is commonly experienced pre- and post-partum, during menopause, and after surgery to the pelvis or core though it is not limited to those occurrences. The condition can impact an individual’s daily life regardless of their stage in life. Although pain is sometimes observed in clients experiencing pelvic floor dysfunction, some conditions can present without discomfort or pain.

Our Carleton Place pelvic floor therapists support males and females looking to treat a variety of pelvic floor dysfunctions.
