The importance of pelvic health

Pelvic health plays a vital role in bladder and bowel control, sexual function, core stability, and overall quality of life. For women, pelvic health is an essential part of their wellbeing at every stage of life. Pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, and gynaecological surgery can all place significant strain on the pelvic floor muscles, sometimes leading to bladder leakage, pelvic pain, heaviness, or discomfort. Without proper support and rehabilitation, these changes can lead to issues such as incontinence, pelvic pain, or prolapse.
