Think Pelvic Floor = Just Kegels? Think Again.

Intro

When it comes to incontinence, most women hear one piece of advice: “Do your Kegels.” But what if we told you that pelvic floor care is about more than just squeezing?

What is the Pelvic Floor, Really?

It’s a group of muscles at the base of your pelvis that supports your bladder, bowel, and uterus. These muscles need to work in sync with your diaphragm, core, and posture and not in isolation.

Common Mistakes

  • Over-squeezing or holding tension all day
  • Ignoring breathing and alignment
  • Not knowing when the muscles are too tight (not just weak)

A Whole-Body Approach with Physio

Our clinic takes a functional approach:

  • We assess your posture, breath, and abdominal control
  • We teach release as well as strengthening
  • We guide you on how to lift, cough, sneeze, and run without leaks
  • We use tools like real-time ultrasound to show you how your muscles are working

You Don’t Have to Figure This Out Alone

Pelvic floor dysfunction is treatable. With expert assessment and individualised care, you can regain strength, confidence, and control.
