Strengthening these muscles can dramatically improve bladder control and ease discomfort associated with lower abdominal conditions. It also helps alleviate related pain conditions like lower backache. In addition to addressing physical concerns directly related to your pelvis' condition – such as alleviating pain or increasing muscular strength – it can significantly enhance overall quality of life. By equipping you with strategies for at-home care including postural corrections and dietary considerations alongside our treatments we aim to offer a holistic approach for long-term relief.

Generally speaking though many patients experience significant relief after 6-12 sessions spread over 8-12 weeks. On the other hand some may need more time especially if dealing with chronic pain or severe symptoms. During your initial consultation your therapist will give you an estimate of what to expect based on the findings from the assessment. The progress made during sessions will also be regularly evaluated to update the treatment plan as needed ensuring effective and timely relief.
