Goal of Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy

The aim is to treat and prevent various dysfunctions of the pelvic floor muscles. Physiotherapy is the primary treatment for pelvic floor disorders. Active exercise for 3–6 months is recommended even before possible surgical repair. Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles also positively affects sexual function in both women and men. Core posture and stability are dependent on pelvic floor muscle function.

Therapy includes

• Individual physiotherapy assessment, including pelvic floor muscle measurement with EMG (Biofeedback)
• Evaluation of separated abdominal muscles (diastasis)
• Personalized treatment plan with home exercise instructions
• Follow-up assessments every 2–6 weeks
• Home use of an electrical stimulation device if needed
• For EMG assessment and home exercises, a personal electrode is required, which can be purchased from your therapist

Note: The first session requires 60 minutes.
