Pelvic floor physiotherapy is a specialty focused on preventing and treating pelvic floor dysfunctions, whose weakness can cause urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, discomfort during sexual intercourse, and difficulties reaching orgasm.

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

Causes of pelvic floor weakening

Among the most common causes are:

• Pregnancy and childbirth: pressure from the uterus and muscle stretching during childbirth.
• Age and menopause: loss of elasticity and muscle strength.
• Sedentary lifestyle and obesity: contribute to muscle weakness.
• Pelvic surgeries: can affect the structure of the pelvic floor.

Consequences of weakening

It can lead to pelvic organ prolapse, chronic pain, urinary and fecal incontinence, constipation, sexual dysfunction, and impacts on quality of life.
