Even though pelvic floor challenges are common, they are treatable and you should not have to live with them. Research strongly supports pelvic floor treatment as the first line of defense against incontinence and pelvic pain.

Common signs that can indicate a pelvic floor problem include:

• accidentally leaking urine when you exercise, play sport, laugh, cough or sneeze
• needing to get to the toilet in a hurry or not making it there in time
• accidentally losing control of your bowel
• a prolapse (pressure, bulging or discomfort in the pelvic area)
• pain in your pelvic area, or painful intercourse

Pelvic health treatment can help you regain control, maximize your function and recovery, and improve your well-being.
