Pelvic Floor Assessment
A detailed assessment helps identify pelvic floor muscle function, breathing patterns, movement strategies, and contributing factors so care can be tailored to your needs.
Struggling with pelvic pain, bladder leaks, or discomfort that's affecting your daily life? Our Abbotsford physiotherapists offer one-on-one pelvic floor therapy tailored to your symptoms, so you can move, exercise, and live with confidence again.
Pelvic floor physiotherapy helps improve the muscles that support the bladder, bowel, and pelvic organs. It can help with pelvic pain, bladder or bowel problems, pelvic pressure, and changes after pregnancy, childbirth, or surgery.
Treatment starts with an assessment to understand your symptoms and how your pelvic floor muscles are working. Your physiotherapist may use exercises, breathing techniques, movement training, education, and hands-on treatment when needed.
“Pelvic health care works best when treatment is guided by your symptoms, goals, and individual needs.”
