PELVIC HEALTH
Pelvic health physiotherapy is a specialist area of rehabilitation focusing on symptoms and conditions affecting the pelvic region. Symptoms can occur at any age but are often linked to pregnancy, childbirth, menopause or post-surgery. Symptoms can range from leaking during exercise, heaviness or dragging in the pelvic region to pelvic pain and, although common, they can be treated successfully.
