What is Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy?

Pelvic floor physiotherapy is a specialized treatment that focuses on the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues in the pelvic region. These structures provide support for essential organs, including the bladder, uterus, and intestines, and play a key role in core stability, posture, and daily movement. When these muscles become weak, tight, or dysfunctional, they can lead to a variety of symptoms, such as pain, incontinence, or discomfort during activities.

Many factors can contribute to pelvic floor dysfunction, including:

  • Pregnancy and childbirth – The pelvic muscles undergo significant strain during pregnancy and delivery, often leading to weakness, tightness, or trauma.
  • Surgery or injury – Some medical procedures can impact pelvic function.
  • Aging and hormonal changes – Menopause and other hormonal shifts can affect muscle tone and bladder control.
  • Athletic activity – High-impact sports or improper exercise techniques can lead to excessive pelvic tension.
  • Chronic conditions – Conditions such as endometriosis, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or interstitial cystitis can impact pelvic health.

By assessing, strengthening, and retraining the pelvic floor, our physiotherapists help restore optimal function and comfort, allowing you to regain confidence in your daily activities.

Our Approach to Pelvic Health

At Burnaby Heights Physiotherapy, we take a holistic, individualized approach to pelvic health treatment. We recognize that no two individuals experience pelvic floor dysfunction the same way, which is why we provide customized care tailored to your specific needs and lifestyle.

Comprehensive Assessment

Your journey begins with a thorough evaluation to understand the root cause of your symptoms. This may include:

  • A detailed discussion of your symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle factors.
  • Postural and movement assessment to identify any contributing imbalances.
  • Pelvic muscle examination to assess tone, strength, and coordination.
  • Evaluation of bladder and bowel habits to determine functional patterns.

We prioritize education and informed decision-making, ensuring you feel comfortable and empowered every step of the way.

Evidence-Based Treatment Techniques

Our treatment approach may include:

  • Manual Therapy: Hands-on techniques to release tension, improve circulation, and promote mobility in the pelvic muscles and surrounding joints.
  • Pelvic Floor Exercises: Targeted exercises designed to either strengthen or relax the pelvic muscles, depending on your specific needs.
  • Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS): A dry needling technique to relieve deep muscle tension, reduce pain, and improve function.
  • Core and Breathwork Training: Strategies to enhance coordination between your diaphragm, core, and pelvic floor for improved control and stability.
  • Lifestyle and Postural Education: Practical guidance on daily habits, such as toileting techniques, lifting mechanics, and posture correction, to prevent strain and promote healing.

Through ongoing assessment and adjustments, we ensure that your treatment remains aligned with your progress and goals.

Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy Burnaby FAQs

1How Long Does It Take to See Results From Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy?
The timeline for improvement varies depending on the severity of your symptoms, consistency with treatment, and your body's response to therapy. Many clients notice positive changes within a few sessions, such as improved bladder control, reduced discomfort, or better pelvic floor muscle awareness. However, conditions that have developed over years—such as chronic pelvic pain or postpartum recovery—may take longer. A personalized home exercise plan and ongoing reassessment will help track progress and adjust treatments as needed, ensuring the best possible outcome.
2Will Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy Be Painful?
Pelvic floor physiotherapy should never be excessively painful. Some techniques, such as manual therapy or intramuscular stimulation (IMS), may cause mild discomfort initially, but your physiotherapist will work within your comfort level. Communication is key—we always prioritize a gentle, client-centered approach and adjust treatments based on how you feel. If certain exercises or techniques cause discomfort, alternatives will be provided to ensure your sessions remain effective and comfortable. Our goal is to help you feel better, not worse, after treatment.
3How Do I Know If I Need Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy?
If you experience bladder leakage, pelvic pain, difficulty with bowel movements, pain during intimacy, or a feeling of pressure in the pelvic area, pelvic floor physiotherapy may be beneficial for you. Even if your symptoms are mild or occasional, early intervention can prevent worsening issues over time. Many people assume pelvic dysfunction is a “normal” part of aging, pregnancy, or physical activity—but you don’t have to live with discomfort. A professional assessment can help determine whether pelvic floor physio is the right solution for you.
