Pelvic Floor Physio

What is Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy?

Pelvic floor physiotherapy is a specialized form of physical therapy aimed at strengthening the pelvic floor muscles and addressing pelvic floor dysfunction.  While pelvic floor physiotherapy is often associated with pre and postnatal care, Bump Physio & Co is a full-service pelvic health clinic.

What do we mean by that?  The team at Bump treats a wide range of other pelvic health conditions across the gender spectrum in addition to pre and postnatal care.

So, what is the pelvic floor anyways?

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles and connective tissue located at the base of the pelvis.  These muscles form a hammock-like basket-like structure that supports the pelvic organs as they attach to your pubic bone in the front, your tailbone in the back and your hips on either side.  The pelvic organs include:

• Bladder
• Uterus (in women)
• Prostate (in men)
• Rectum

The pelvic floor muscles play a crucial role in maintaining the stability and function of these organs.
