How We Can Help!

Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy includes taking a thorough history and completing and external and internal examine to determine if the pelvic floor muscles as functioning optimally to contract and relax at the appropriate times to maintain continence and allow for urination, bowel movements, and in women, sexual intercourse.
