What is Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy?
Pelvic floor physiotherapy is a specialized branch of physiotherapy focused on the assessment and treatment of pelvic floor dysfunctions.

Dysfunction in these muscles can lead to issues such as incontinence, pelvic pain, and prolapse. At The Joint Physiotherapy, our skilled therapists use evidence-based techniques to address these issues and help you achieve optimal pelvic health.
