Pelvic Floor Muscle Training in Melbourne

1

What Is the Pelvic Floor?

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles and tissues that sit at the bottom of your pelvis. These muscles stretch like a sling, supporting organs such as the bladder, bowel, and uterus (in women). They help control when you go to the toilet and play a big part in core stability.
When these muscles weaken or become too tight, it can lead to:
  • Bladder leakage
  • Constipation or bowel strain
  • Pelvic pressure or heaviness
  • Pain during daily movement or exercise
  • Discomfort during or after pregnancy
  • Post-surgery weakness
Our pelvic floor physio sessions are designed to assess how your muscles are working and teach you how to activate them in the right way

How Does Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy Help?

Many people are told to “just do Kegels,” but pelvic floor care is more than that. Not all issues are caused by weakness. In some cases, the muscles are overactive or not working in coordination with the rest of the body.

Pelvic floor physiotherapy helps you understand exactly what your muscles are doing and how to train them properly. Through a private and professional approach, your physiotherapist will help you:

  • Learn how to correctly engage and relax your pelvic floor
  • Build strength gradually and safely
  • Improve bladder or bowel control
  • Reduce pelvic or lower back pain
  • Support recovery after childbirth or surgery
  • Feel more confident during movement and exercise
We use real-time feedback, education, and guided exercises to help you achieve lasting result

Who Is It For?

Pelvic physio is for anyone who feels their pelvic floor may not be working as it should. This includes:

Women during or after pregnancy

People recovering from pelvic or abdominal surgery

Anyone experiencing bladder leakage

People with chronic constipation

Athletes experiencing core or hip tightness

Individuals with lower back or pelvic pain

You don’t need to wait for a referral or a diagnosis. If you’re unsure, we can assess and guide you in a safe, respectful way.

What to Expect in a Session

Your first session starts with a private conversation about your symptoms, medical history, and daily routine. We’ll ask questions that help us understand what might be affecting your pelvic floor.
Depending on your comfort level and symptoms, we may:
  • Perform a gentle external or internal assessment
  • Check breathing patterns, posture, and core control
  • Use real-time ultrasound feedback (when available)
  • Teach you how to correctly engage your pelvic floor
  • Provide exercises to do at home
  • Adjust your plan over time based on your progress
At Go Run Go Physio, your comfort comes first. We always explain each step and adjust based on your needs.
