Pelvic Floor Dysfunction Support at NK Physio
Struggling with bladder leaks, pelvic heaviness, or discomfort?
You’re not alone, many women experience pelvic floor issues at some point in life, but often don’t realise what’s happening or where to turn for help. At NK Physio, we’re here to take the embarrassment away and provide simple, effective solutions to support your pelvic health.
What is pelvic floor dysfunction?
Your pelvic floor is a group of muscles that support your bladder, womb, and bowel. These muscles also play a role in your “core,” and can even influence back and hip pain.
For your pelvic floor to work well, it needs to contract when needed and relax when needed. But here’s the catch: many people assume all pelvic floor problems are due to weakness. That’s not always true.
Sometimes the pelvic floor can actually be too tight or overactive, which means it struggles to fully relax. Just as strength is important, so is the ability to let go.
How can pelvic floor dysfunction show up?
Every woman’s experience is different, but some common signs include:
- Leaking urine when coughing, sneezing, or exercising
- Feeling like you can’t hold your bladder
- Difficulty fully emptying your bladder
- Pain or discomfort during intimacy
- A heaviness or dragging feeling in your pelvis
- Changes in sexual sensation or arousal
If any of these sound familiar, you don’t need to just “put up with it”, help is available.
How can NK Physio help with pelvic floor dysfunction?
We take a whole-body approach because pelvic health is rarely just about one muscle. Our team will listen, assess, and create a plan that’s right for you.
Here’s how we support you:
