Pelvic floor issues aren’t just something people talk about after having a baby. These muscles affect everything from bladder control to lower back support, and when they’re not working well, your whole body can feel it.
So, how do you know if pelvic floor physiotherapy is right for you? At Dynamic Health Therapy in Keswick, these are five common signs we see in patients who benefit from this kind of treatment:
1. You’re Experiencing Leaks During Daily Activities
Do you leak a little urine when you laugh, sneeze, or exercise? It might feel normal—especially after childbirth or as you age—but it’s actually a sign your pelvic floor muscles aren’t supporting your bladder effectively.
2. You Feel Pressure or Heaviness “Down There”
A sensation of pressure in your lower abdomen or pelvis (especially at the end of the day or after standing for long periods) can be an early sign of pelvic organ prolapse. Physiotherapy can help relieve this pressure before it gets worse.
3. You Have Ongoing Lower Back or Hip Pain
Weak or tight pelvic floor muscles can affect the alignment and stability of your entire core. If your back or hips are constantly sore—and you’ve ruled out other injuries—it might be worth exploring pelvic floor therapy as a cause.
4. You’re Recovering After Childbirth
Postpartum recovery is about more than just time. Whether you had a vaginal or C-section delivery, your pelvic floor muscles were stretched and stressed. Physio can help you heal better and regain control and strength.
5. Pain During Intimacy or While Using the Bathroom
Pain or discomfort in these situations isn’t something you just have to live with. It could be linked to muscle tension, weakness, or poor coordination in your pelvic floor—and there are treatment options.
