Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy in Johor
Pelvic floor dysfunction covers a range of symptoms that women are repeatedly told are "just part of having kids" or "normal at your age".
They are not.
Stress urinary leakage when coughing, sneezing, or jumping on a trampoline with the children; a sensation of heaviness or "something coming down" by the end of the day; painful intercourse; pelvic pain unrelated to periods; and urge-frequency patterns all sit under this umbrella, and all respond - often dramatically - to properly-done pelvic floor physiotherapy.
It's not just "do your Kegels"
The single worst advice given to women with pelvic floor symptoms is "just squeeze".
Around a third of women squeeze the wrong muscles entirely when instructed over the phone or by a non-specialist.
Another third have pelvic floors that are already over-active and need release, not more squeezing.
Diagnosing which pattern is yours requires a proper assessment - external, and where clinically appropriate and with consent, internal (per vaginam).
What a pelvic floor session looks like
History first: pregnancy and birth details, bowel and bladder patterns, symptoms mapped to activities. External assessment of posture, breathing, abdominal wall and hip patterns.
Where consented and clinically useful, internal assessment to grade muscle strength, endurance, coordination and identify trigger points.
Then a programme that might include specific strengthening, down-training and release work for over-active floors, bladder re-training schedules, and - where relevant - diastasis-recti co-management.
Biofeedback and electrical stimulation are available adjuncts.
When to see a specialist doctor first
- Persistent heavy bleeding or new abnormal bleeding.
- Prolapse visibly outside the vagina that doesn't reduce.
- Suspected fistula (continuous urinary leakage not related to effort).
- Unexplained pelvic pain with fever or weight loss.
