1. Common Pelvic Health Concerns Addressed by Physiotherapy
Pelvic health physiotherapy can provide beneficial care to individuals experiencing a wide range of pelvic health concerns, such as:
a. Urinary Incontinence: Involuntary leakage of urine can result from various factors, including weak pelvic floor muscles, overactive bladder, or hormonal changes.
b. Fecal Incontinence: Inability to control bowel movements can be attributed to weak pelvic floor muscles, nerve damage, or other underlying conditions.
c. Pelvic Organ Prolapse: This condition occurs when one or more pelvic organs descend due to weakened connective tissues and pelvic floor muscles.
