Pelvic Floor Therapy

Understanding Pelvic Floor Treatments: Why They Matter and How They Can Change Your Life
By the Team at Belmont Medical Pharmacy and Physiotherapy

When you think of physiotherapy or chiropractic care, you might immediately picture spinal adjustments, posture correction, or sports injury rehab. But at Belmont Medical Pharmacy and Physiotherapy, we believe in a whole-body approach—and one of the most overlooked yet critical areas we treat is the pelvic floor.

What Is the Pelvic Floor?

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues that form a supportive sling at the base of the pelvis. These muscles play a vital role in a wide range of functions, including:

• Bladder and bowel control
• Sexual function
• Core stability and posture
• Supporting pelvic organs (bladder, uterus, rectum)

Despite its crucial functions, the pelvic floor is often ignored until something goes wrong—like incontinence, pelvic pain, or post-partum discomfort. That’s where pelvic floor treatments come into play.

Why Are Pelvic Floor Treatments Important?

Pelvic floor dysfunction can affect anyone—men, women, and people of all ages. Some of the most common causes include pregnancy, surgery, aging, and high-impact sports. If left untreated, it can lead to chronic pain and a diminished quality of life. Targeted pelvic floor therapy can help restore strength and coordination.

How Do We Treat the Pelvic Floor at Belmont Medical Pharmacy and Physiotherapy?

At Belmont's Clinic, our integrated team provides a comprehensive approach:

1. Assessment & Diagnosis

We begin with a thorough assessment to evaluate muscle tone, strength, and posture. For many, spinal alignment is a key factor.

2. Customized Exercise Programs

We guide patients through evidence-based exercises such as Kegels, diaphragmatic breathing, and functional core strengthening.

3. Manual Therapy and Release Work

Tight muscles may require myofascial release techniques. Our chiropractors may also work on pelvic alignment to restore proper biomechanics.
