The pelvic floor muscles play a crucial role in supporting the bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs, yet many people experience weakness, dysfunction, or pain in this area without realizing there are effective treatments available. Pelvic floor physiotherapy Grande Prairie is a specialized approach that helps individuals regain control, reduce discomfort, and improve overall pelvic health. At GP Pain & Physiotherapy, we provide expert pelvic floor therapy to help patients manage conditions like incontinence, pelvic pain, postpartum recovery, and more.

What is Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy?

Pelvic floor physiotherapy focuses on strengthening, relaxing, and rehabilitating the muscles of the pelvic region. The pelvic floor muscles act as a supportive sling, controlling bladder and bowel movements, stabilizing the core, and contributing to sexual function. When these muscles become too weak or too tight, they can lead to a range of issues, from incontinence to chronic pelvic pain.

A pelvic floor physiotherapist assesses the function of these muscles and designs a personalized treatment plan that includes manual therapy, exercises, biofeedback, and education to restore optimal function.

Common Conditions Treated with Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy

✔ Urinary Incontinence – Leaking urine when sneezing, coughing, or exercising (stress incontinence) or experiencing sudden urges to urinate (urge incontinence).

✔ Pelvic Pain – Pain in the lower abdomen, pelvis, or tailbone, often due to muscle tightness or nerve irritation.

✔ Postpartum Recovery – Strengthening the pelvic floor after childbirth to reduce pain, support healing, and prevent prolapse.

✔ Pelvic Organ Prolapse – A feeling of heaviness or pressure in the pelvis due to weakened pelvic muscles.

✔ Diastasis Recti – Separation of the abdominal muscles, common after pregnancy, which can 

weaken core stability.

✔ Pain During Intercourse (Dyspareunia) – Often caused by tight or uncoordinated pelvic floor muscles.

✔ Chronic Constipation and Bowel Issues – Difficulty passing stool due to pelvic muscle dysfunction.

✔ Men’s Pelvic Health Issues – Pelvic pain, post-prostate surgery recovery, and urinary concerns.
