Pelvic Floor

Physical Therapy

Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy is a specialized approach targeting the pelvic floor muscles—those that form a supportive sling for pelvic organs, aiding in bowel and bladder function, sexual health, and stability.

At Indigo Physiotherapy, our goal is to help patients address these essential functions in a comfortable, compassionate environment where they can experience significant relief and restored quality of life.

Supporting Your Health Through

Pelvic Floor

Physical Therapy

The pelvic floor is fundamental to daily function, and our physical therapy services are designed to address discomfort and dysfunction in a highly effective, evidence-based manner. This treatment supports improvements in pain, stability, and bowel, bladder, and sexual function. Our compassionate, expert team tailors every session to your needs, ensuring a personalized, effective approach.

how

Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy Works

Our sessions are designed to offer personalized care with a one-hour evaluation and follow-up treatments with a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT). In your initial consultation, we’ll discuss your goals and concerns, review your medical history, and conduct a thorough external and sometimes internal evaluation (with your consent). We use a combination of hands-on techniques, therapeutic exercises, and neuromuscular reeducation to address your specific concerns and guide you through a comprehensive care plan.

What to Expect

Each session includes targeted exercises, manual therapy techniques, and functional training based on our findings. You’ll receive a customized home exercise program to support continuous improvement between visits.

Preparing for Your Visit

Please wear comfortable clothing and complete all paperwork before your first appointment. If possible, bring any relevant medical documents and feel free to ask any questions you may have. Your therapist will provide detailed aftercare instructions and exercises for home.
