Pelvic floor rehabilitation aims to strengthen and restore the function of the perineal muscle group. This group of muscles supports the pelvic organs such as the bladder, uterus and rectum. Rehabilitation of the perineum plays an essential role in preventing and treating problems associated with urinary and faecal incontinence, as well as recovery after childbirth.
Using appropriate re-education techniques and advice on good postural and behavioural practices, the physiotherapist helps patients to restore muscle tone and reduce symptoms of weakening of the pelvic floor.

DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT: In consultation with the patient, the therapist will draw up a treatment plan consisting of a number of sessions and specific exercises.
