Pelvic Floor

The pelvic floor is a network of muscles and connective tissue that supports your bladder, uterus and bowel from within. It holds, stabilises and protects – silently, around the clock.

Like a trampoline, it can absorb weight, yield and tense up again – continuously, without you even noticing. But just like any other muscle, it can become weakened, overstrained or lose its coordination.

Up to 30 % of women report pelvic floor weakness or incontinence symptoms at some point in their lives – the reality is likely higher, since many don’t talk about it.

Typical signs include, for example, leaking when coughing, sneezing or jogging, a feeling of pressure or heaviness in the pelvis, pain during sex or back pain without a clear cause.

Many women are told that these symptoms are “normal” and must be endured – but in fact, they can be effectively treated with specialised physiotherapy, targeted training and the right support.
