Pelvic Rehabilitation

Pelvic rehabilitation is a specialized form of physical therapy focused on treating disorders and dysfunctions of the pelvic floor muscles. These muscles support the bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs, and are crucial for urinary and bowel control, sexual function, and overall stability. Pelvic rehabilitation aims to alleviate pain, improve function, and enhance the quality of life for individuals experiencing pelvic floor disorders.
