Pelvic floor physio
Your pelvic floor muscles sit as a sling to support your internal organs including the uterus, bladder and intestines. It is a group of muscles that also play a role in preventing incontinence (urinary and faecal).
Strengthening these muscles are extremely important in all women but are an integral part of managing conditions including prolapse, urinary incontinence and faecal incontinence.
