Postpartum to Peak Performance: How Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy Can Support You at Every Stage
Fairy Mousavi, Physiotherapist
Your pelvic floor doesn’t only matter after childbirth—it’s essential at every stage of life. Whether you’re recovering postpartum, returning to fitness, or managing age-related changes, pelvic floor physiotherapy can help you feel stronger, more confident, and in control.
The Postpartum Connection
During pregnancy and delivery, your pelvic floor muscles stretch and adapt to support your growing baby. Postpartum, they may be weakened or injured, leading to:
– Leaking (urine or gas)
– A feeling of heaviness or bulging
– Pain with movement or intimacy
Pelvic floor physiotherapy offers personalized recovery, helping rebuild strength and function safely.
For Active Women and Athletes
Did you know that even high-level athletes experience pelvic floor issues? Repetitive impact, heavy lifting, and poor core coordination can lead to:
Stress incontinence
Pelvic instability
Core and hip dysfunction
With the right approach, you can train smarter—not harder—and stay injury-free.
Beyond Fitness: Menopause and Midlife
Hormonal changes in perimenopause and menopause can weaken connective tissue and muscle tone. Pelvic floor physiotherapy can:
– Improve bladder control
– Reduce pelvic discomfort
– Enhance sexual health and confidence
