Will I feel pain during Pelvic Floor Treatment?

Pelvic floor treatment from a physiotherapist doesn't necessarily have to be painful. In fact, the aim of such therapy is often to alleviate discomfort and improve pelvic floor function without causing undue pain. Physiotherapists trained in pelvic floor rehabilitation use various techniques, which may include exercises, manual therapy, biofeedback, and education on proper posture and movement patterns. While some individuals might experience mild discomfort during certain therapeutic exercises or manual techniques, the goal is typically to gradually alleviate pain and improve muscle function over time. Communication with the therapist about any discomfort or pain experienced during sessions is crucial, as they can adjust techniques or exercises to ensure they are appropriate and comfortable for the individual. Overall, the focus is on improving pelvic floor health and function while minimizing any discomfort.
