Understanding Pelvic Floor Treatments: Why They Matter and How They Can Change Your Life
By the Team at Physiodome
When you think of physiotherapy or chiropractic care, you might immediately picture spinal adjustments, posture correction, or sports injury rehab. But at Physiodome, we believe in a whole-body approach—and one of the most overlooked yet critical areas we treat is the pelvic floor.
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues that form a supportive sling at the base of the pelvis. These muscles play a vital role in a wide range of functions, including:
Despite its crucial functions, the pelvic floor is often ignored until something goes wrong—like incontinence, pelvic pain, or post-partum discomfort. That’s where pelvic floor treatments come into play.
Pelvic floor dysfunction can affect anyone—men, women, and people of all ages. Some of the most common causes include:
If left untreated, pelvic floor dysfunction can lead to chronic pain, loss of function, and a diminished quality of life. Thankfully, targeted pelvic floor therapy can help restore strength, coordination, and proper function.
At Physiodome, our integrated team of physiotherapists and chiropractors work together to provide a comprehensive and respectful approach to pelvic floor care. Here's what that typically includes:
We begin with a thorough assessment—both internal (if appropriate and with consent) and external. We evaluate muscle tone, strength, posture, breathing patterns, and any contributing biomechanical issues. For many, posture and spinal alignment (a chiropractic strength) are key factors.
Strengthening or relaxing the pelvic floor may be necessary, depending on whether muscles are too tight or too weak. We guide patients through evidence-based exercises such as:
Tight or hypertonic pelvic muscles may require myofascial release techniques or trigger point therapy, performed by trained physiotherapists. Our chiropractors may also work on pelvic alignment and sacroiliac joint function to relieve pressure and restore proper biomechanics.
Understanding how posture, stress, lifting techniques, toileting habits, and breathing affect the pelvic floor is essential. We provide actionable strategies to help clients integrate pelvic floor-friendly habits into everyday life.
Whether you're recovering from childbirth, struggling with incontinence, or managing chronic pelvic pain, pelvic floor treatment offers numerous benefits:
If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, a pelvic floor assessment could be life-changing:
