I had several patients in clinic this week who are responding really well to treatment for symptoms associated with a hypertonic pelvic floor 🤩
Some with a background of endometriosis and adenomyosis; others had overactive bladder symptom, tailbone pain and pregnancy related pelvic girdle pain.
ALL of them said that they wished they had heard of Pelvic Health physiotherapy earlier 😥
So I thought this was worth a repost!!

What is a hypertonic pelvic floor?? 🤔🤔
A hypertonic pelvic floor occurs when the muscles in the pelvic floor become too tense and are unable to relax.
Many people with a tense and non-relaxing pelvic floor experience pelvic health concerns such as:
- constipation
- painful s*x
- urinary urgency and frequency
- back/hip/abdominal or pelvic pain
- slow stream of urine
Most people presume their symptoms are due to a weak pelvic floor or an issue with their back/hip or pelvis!
If any of these symptoms ring a bell 🔔 then see a Chartered Pelvic Health Physiotherapist - we can help you get on the road to recovery 😊
