Pelvic health is incredibly important when thinking about your quality of life. It is a term that includes a wide range of conditions and can affect many areas of life, such as your bladder, your bowels, and your reproductive health. A qualified pelvic health physiotherapist can help you with your pelvic floor problems and prepare you for a better future.
Do you leak urine when you cough, sneeze, or exercise? Do you struggle to hold in a fart? Do you have pain during sexual intercourse?
1.1 million New Zealanders suffer from some form of urinary incontinence every month and 50% of women who have given birth experience a pelvic organ prolapse – you are not alone!
Our trained physiotherapists are here to do a detailed assessment and create your perfect treatment plan.
Why are pelvic floor muscles important?
Your pelvic floor muscles are the protectors of your pelvic organs. Having strong and healthy pelvic floor muscles may prevent future prolapses of your organs and keep your ligaments healthy.
They also help you maintain good bladder and bowel control. If you have ever been worried about urinary urgency, it might be a pelvic floor issue.
Your core stability and strength stem from your pelvic floor health. So if you want to have a strong core, start with some pelvic floor exercises!
Sexual pleasure and satisfaction for both men and women are known to be linked with pelvic health and strength.
