Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy and Yoga

Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy and Yoga combine the benefits of yoga practice with an individualized assessment and program to address symptoms related to pelvic floor dysfunction. The pelvic floor is a group of muscles and connective tissue that support various organs and functions in the pelvis. Weakness or tension in these muscles can lead to issues such as incontinence, pain, and pelvic floor dysfunction. The pelvic floor is an essential part of the "core" muscles, which provide stability and support to the body during movement. By incorporating yoga into pelvic floor therapy, individuals can improve posture, strengthen the pelvic floor, coordinate its activation with movement, promote relaxation, coordinate breath with movement, and reduce tension. Yoga has been shown to have significant physical and mental health benefits, particularly for postpartum women. Some recommended yoga asanas for pelvic health include Child's Pose, Cat Cow, Happy Baby, and Supported Waterfall. Combining physical therapy and yoga can provide a holistic approach to improving pelvic health.
