Pelvic floor physiotherapy is a specialty focused on preventing and treating pelvic floor dysfunctions, the weakness of which can cause urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, discomfort during sexual intercourse, and difficulty achieving orgasm.

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles and tissues that support organs such as the bladder, uterus, and rectum, performing essential functions such as continence control, stabilizing the pelvis and spine, sexual function, and support during pregnancy and childbirth.

Causes of pelvic floor weakness

Among the most common causes are:

• Pregnancy and childbirth: uterine pressure and muscle strain during labor.
• Age and menopause: loss of elasticity and muscle strength.
• Sedentary lifestyle and obesity: contribute to muscle weakness.
• Pelvic surgeries: may affect the structure of the pelvic floor.
