Pelvic Health Physio | Physiotherapists For Pelvic Floor

Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy in London, Ontario

Pelvic health physiotherapy, also known as pelvic floor physiotherapy, is a specialized area of physical therapy that focuses on assessing and treating conditions related to the pelvic floor muscles and surrounding structures. The pelvic floor muscles provide support to the organs in the pelvis, including the bladder, uterus, and rectum, and play a crucial role in various bodily functions such as bladder and bowel control, sexual function, and stability of the pelvis and spine.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My therapist is kind and understanding. She takes the time to explain the therapy and why its beneficial for me. She gives me the opportunity to hold myself accountable but helps me understand the importance of doing the exercises on my own. I love it here! I have felt welcomed since the first day.
