style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pelvic floor problems can affect bladder and bowel control, pelvic support, comfort during everyday activities and confidence with exercise. Symptoms may develop following pregnancy or childbirth, surgery, changes associated with ageing, or sometimes without an obvious cause.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pelvic floor rehabilitation focuses on assessing how the pelvic floor muscles are working and developing treatment around the symptoms you are experiencing.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For some people, treatment involves strengthening weak muscles. For others, the pelvic floor may be too tense or difficult to relax, meaning that relaxation, breathing and movement are more appropriate than strengthening alone.<\/span><\/p><h2><b>What is the pelvic floor?<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pelvic floor is a group of muscles and supporting tissues located at the base of the pelvis.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These muscles contribute to:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bladder control<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"

exercise<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like other muscles in the body, the pelvic floor needs to be able to contract when required and relax appropriately afterwards.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Problems can occur when the muscles are weak, overactive, poorly coordinated or affected by surgery, pregnancy or other health conditions.<\/span><\/p><h2><b>When pelvic floor rehabilitation may help<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An assessment may be useful if you are experiencing:<\/span><\/p><ul><li

considerably, which is why assessment is important before starting a pelvic floor exercise programme.<\/span><\/p><h2><b>What happens during your first appointment?<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first appointment begins with a discussion about your symptoms and how they affect everyday life.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The physiotherapist

improve<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can discuss symptoms privately and ask questions about any part of the assessment or treatment.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on your symptoms, the physical assessment may look at:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight:

situations, an internal pelvic floor examination may be useful to assess strength, coordination and the ability of the muscles to relax.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This should only be carried out when clinically appropriate, with your informed consent and after the assessment has been clearly explained. You can decline or stop an internal examination at any time.<\/span><\/p><h2><b>What treatment may include<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pelvic floor rehabilitation is based on what is identified during your assessment.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Pelvic floor strengthening<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the pelvic floor muscles are weak, treatment may include exercises that improve your ability to contract and hold the muscles.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Training may involve both:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Longer controlled contractions<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shorter, quicker contractions<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The number and duration of exercises should be appropriate for your current muscle strength rather than following the same programme for everyone.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The quality of the contraction is important. Repeatedly completing exercises incorrectly may not address the underlying problem.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Pelvic floor relaxation<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not every pelvic floor problem is caused by weakness.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some people have muscles that remain tense and do not relax easily.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this situation, repeatedly strengthening the muscles may not be the right starting point.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Treatment may instead focus on:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Relaxed breathing<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pelvic

400;\">Strengthening may be introduced later if appropriate.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Breathing and pressure management<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pelvic floor works together with the abdominal muscles and breathing system.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Holding your breath or repeatedly straining during lifting and exercise can increase pressure through the pelvis.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rehabilitation may include learning how to coordinate breathing and pelvic floor activity during:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lifting<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Squatting<\/span><\/li><li

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exercise<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The aim is not to keep the pelvic floor contracted throughout every activity, but to improve coordination when support is required.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Bladder training<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where urgency or frequent urination is a problem, treatment may involve looking at bladder habits alongside pelvic floor rehabilitation.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This may include:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understanding normal bladder patterns<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gradually increasing the time between

precautionary toilet visits<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The approach depends on the reason for the bladder symptoms.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Bowel management<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pelvic floor muscles also play a role in bowel control and emptying.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rehabilitation may include advice around:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Toilet positioning<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Appropriate movement and activity<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Persistent bowel problems may also require assessment from another appropriate healthcare professional.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Strength and movement exercises<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pelvic floor rehabilitation may involve more than exercises for the pelvic floor itself.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on your assessment, treatment may also include:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The aim is to help the pelvic floor work as part of normal whole-body movement.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Home exercise programme<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may receive exercises or management strategies to continue between appointments.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The programme can be adjusted as symptoms and muscle control improve.<\/span><\/p><h2><b>Urine leakage with coughing, sneezing or exercise<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Urine leakage during activities that increase pressure through the abdomen is often referred to as stress urinary incontinence.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Symptoms may occur when:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"

before and during activities that normally cause leakage.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Treatment should gradually move from isolated exercises towards the movements that are relevant to your everyday life.<\/span><\/p><h2><b>Urgency and frequent urination<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some people experience a sudden and difficult-to-control need to pass

to habits where appropriate.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The aim is to improve control rather than simply trying to hold urine for increasingly long periods without guidance.<\/span><\/p><h2><b>Pelvic organ prolapse<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when one or more pelvic organs move downwards and create pressure towards
