Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy
Assessment and treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction at FACELAB Albufeira, in a private setting, with time for you. A tailored physiotherapy plan to regain control, comfort and quality of life, for women and men.
The pelvic floor is the group of muscles and ligaments that supports the bladder, the uterus or prostate and the bowel, and plays a part in bladder and bowel control and sexual function. Pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, some surgeries, repeated physical strain or chronic pain can all affect how it works.
Pelvic floor physiotherapy is one of the first recommended approaches for several of these conditions, such as stress urinary incontinence. It always starts with an individual assessment and follows a plan adapted to each person, working with the FACELAB medical team whenever needed.
