Frequently Asked Questions About Women’s Pelvic Health

Women’s pelvic health focuses on the muscles, joints, connective tissues, organs, and other structures within and surrounding the pelvis. These areas play an important role in bladder and bowel function, sexual health, pregnancy, childbirth, movement, and everyday comfort. Pelvic health care can help address concerns that develop at different stages of life, including pelvic pain, incontinence, pregnancy-related changes, postpartum recovery, and menopause.
Pelvic floor physiotherapy can help address a range of concerns involving pelvic floor muscles that are weak, tight, painful, or difficult to coordinate. Women may seek treatment for bladder leakage, pelvic organ prolapse, pelvic pain, painful intercourse, pregnancy and postpartum changes, or difficulty controlling the pelvic floor muscles. Treatment is personalized following an assessment and may involve exercises, manual techniques, education, and strategies you can continue at home.
You may benefit from pelvic floor physiotherapy if you experience bladder leakage, pelvic pressure or heaviness, pelvic pain, painful intercourse, difficulty controlling your bladder or bowel, or changes following pregnancy and childbirth. Pelvic floor problems are not always caused by weak muscles. Muscles that are too tight or have difficulty relaxing can also contribute to symptoms, which is why an individualized assessment is important.
Yes, pelvic floor physiotherapy is commonly used to help manage urinary incontinence and bladder leakage. Your physiotherapist can assess the strength, coordination, and function of your pelvic floor and identify factors that may be contributing to your symptoms. Treatment may include pelvic floor exercises, bladder strategies, manual therapy, education, and other techniques designed to improve control and function.
Pelvic floor physiotherapy can be beneficial at different stages of pregnancy depending on your symptoms and individual needs. Some women seek care during pregnancy for pelvic pain, bladder leakage, or discomfort, while others use physiotherapy to prepare their pelvic floor and surrounding muscles for childbirth. Your physiotherapist can recommend an appropriate treatment plan based on your stage of pregnancy, health history, and concerns.
The appropriate time to begin postpartum pelvic floor physiotherapy varies depending on your delivery, recovery, symptoms, and overall health. A pelvic health physiotherapist can assess your recovery following vaginal delivery or C-section and help address concerns such as bladder leakage, pelvic pain, weakness, abdominal changes, or difficulty returning to exercise. If you are unsure when to begin, speak with your healthcare provider or pelvic health physiotherapist about your individual circumstances.
Pelvic floor therapy may help when pelvic pain is related to muscle tension, weakness, restricted movement, or difficulty coordinating the pelvic floor muscles. Treatment begins with an assessment to better understand your symptoms and potential contributing factors. Depending on your needs, care may include manual therapy, exercises, relaxation techniques, movement strategies, and education to help improve function and manage discomfort.
Pelvic floor therapy can support women experiencing changes in pelvic health during and after menopause. Hormonal and physical changes may contribute to bladder leakage, pelvic discomfort, changes in muscle function, or other symptoms. A pelvic health physiotherapist can assess your individual concerns and recommend exercises, education, and treatment strategies designed to support pelvic floor function and maintain comfort as your body changes.
Pelvic floor physiotherapy may be covered under extended health benefits that include physiotherapy services. Coverage, annual limits, referral requirements, and other conditions vary between insurance providers and individual plans. River Stone Wellness offers direct billing to many insurance providers, but we recommend checking your specific benefits before treatment to confirm your coverage.
An internal pelvic floor examination can provide your physiotherapist with useful information about pelvic floor strength, tension, coordination, and function, but you are always in control of your care. You can choose whether you are comfortable with an internal assessment, and pelvic floor treatment can continue without one. Your physiotherapist will explain the assessment and treatment options and answer your questions before proceeding.
