Pelvic Health Physiotherapy: Supporting You Through Every Stage of Life

Posted on August 12th 2026 by Mead Physio Group

At Mead Physio Group Kalamunda, we're proud to provide pelvic health physiotherapy services for a range of bladder, bowel, pelvic floor and pelvic pain concerns.  Whether you are preparing for childbirth, recovering after childbirth or surgery, or experiencing symptoms that affect your everyday life, our experienced team is here to help.

What is Pelvic Health Physiotherapy?

Pelvic health physiotherapy focuses on assessing and treating conditions affecting the pelvic region, including the pelvic floor, bladder, bowel and surrounding muscles.

The pelvic floor muscles play an important role in many everyday functions, including, bladder and bowel control, pelvic organ support, core stability, sexual function, pregnancy and postnatal recovery. They also contribute to your ability to exercise comfortably and confidently.

When should you see a Pelvic Health Physiotherapist?

Pelvic health concerns are common, but that doesn’t mean you have to live with them. A pelvic health physiotherapist can assess and support a wide range of concerns including:

• Pelvic floor weakness, tightness or dysfunction
• Bladder leakage or urinary incontinence
• Bowel leakage or faecal incontinence
• Urinary urgency or frequency
• Difficulty emptying your bladder
• Pelvic organ prolapse, including dragging or pressure sensations in the pelvis
• Pelvic pain
• Constipation or other bowel dysfunction
• Pregnancy related pelvic pain
• Preparation for birth
• Post natal recovery and return to exercise
• Abdominal separation (rectus diastasis)
• Recovery following gynaecological surgery
• Post-prostate surgery rehabilitation
• Painful intercourse

Your physiotherapist will develop an individual treatment plan based on your symptoms and goals. Treatment may focus on improving pelvic floor function and coordination, managing pain, supporting bladder and bowel control, building core strength, or assisting your recovery after childbirth or surgery.

Returning to exercise safely

Pelvic health physiotherapy can help guide a safe and confident return to exercise, following pelvic procedures or surgery, childbirth, pelvic floor dysfunction and other related concerns. Your physiotherapist can provide individual guidance based on your body, symptoms and goals, helping you return to exercise and everyday activities at an appropriate pace.

You don't have to put up with pelvic health symptoms

People often delay seeking help because they feel embarrassed or assume their symptoms are a normal part of ageing, pregnancy or childbirth. However, support is available.

If you're experiencing pelvic health symptoms, you may wish to speak with a pelvic health physiotherapist about whether physiotherapy is appropriate for you. Our team provides individualised, evidence-informed care based on your symptoms, circumstances and goals.

Whatever stage of life you’re in, our pelvic health physiotherapy team is here to support you. Book an appointment today.
