Did you know pregnancy and birth aren’t the only reasons for pelvic floor dysfunction? Elite athletes often experience issues too!

Repetitive high-impact activity, like running, jumping or heavy lifting, increases pressure on the pelvic floor. Up to 80% of female athletes report stress urinary incontinence.

Many women experience urinary leakage with coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercising. This often occurs when the pelvic floor muscles aren’t providing enough support to the pelvic organs and bladder.

For men, urinary incontinence and reduced bladder control are common after prostate surgery (prostatectomy).

EMSELLA offers a simple and effective solution for both women and men. Most people benefit from a series of six sessions, each lasting less than half an hour. Head to our website to learn more about the EMSELLA treatment and how it could help you, or give our team a call to chat with one of our experienced physios.

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that supports your bladder, bowel, and sexual function. When the prostate is removed, the surrounding tissues, including parts of the pelvic floor, are affected. This can lead to issues such as:
• Urinary incontinence
• Reduced bladder control
• Erectile dysfunction

Pelvic floor physiotherapy helps by strengthening and improving the coordination of these muscles before surgery, making it easier for the body to adapt and heal afterward.

Several studies have shown that men who begin pelvic floor training before prostate surgery:
• Regain bladder control more quickly
• Experience fewer leaks and less reliance on pads
• Report higher quality of life during recovery

If you or someone you know is thinking about having Prostate surgery, consider booking a session with us.

During pregnancy, the body produces hormones that help prepare the pelvis for childbirth by softening ligaments. This natural process, combined with postural changes and increased load on the pelvis, can lead to instability and strain around the joints.

You don’t have to be pregnant to experience pelvic girdle pain —some women develop symptoms postpartum or from underlying biomechanical issues, trauma, or repetitive strain.

In some cases, we recommend SIJ (sacroiliac joint) belts as part of the treatment plan. These specially designed belts wrap around the pelvis and provide external support to the SI joints, helping to:

• Stabilise the pelvis
• Reduce pain during movement
• Improve walking comfort
• Support daily activities while your body heals

If you’re having issues with your lower back, pop into the clinic to chat with one of our team. We’ll be able to assist in how to wear the belt correctly and making sure you have the right size.

If you’re navigating the early weeks of motherhood, you might be surprised to learn that pelvic health physios can support you through mastitis and postnatal recovery.

Mastitis: We can use therapeutic ultrasound to help reduce inflammation, improve milk flow, and relieve discomfort—often speeding up recovery alongside medical care.

Postnatal care: From healing abdominal separation and pelvic floor weakness to managing prolapse, incontinence, or pain, we tailor rehab to support your recovery and your return to the things you love.

Motherhood is a big transition—your body deserves the right care and attention. You don’t need to wait until there’s a problem to check in. Early support can make a world of difference.

Fun fact ⭐️
Most people think the pelvic floor is just about bladder control, but it actually works in sync with your diaphragm. When you breathe in, your diaphragm moves down—and so does your pelvic floor. When you breathe out, they both rise. This connection means that how you breathe can affect your pelvic health, posture, and even core strength.

Do you have any fun facts about pelvic floor muscles?
