Pelvic Floor Pain Physiotherapy

What Is Pelvic Floor Pain?

Pelvic floor pain is discomfort or aching that comes from the muscles, ligaments and connective tissues of the pelvic floor. The pelvic floor is a group of muscles at the base of the pelvis. These muscles support the bladder, bowel and reproductive organs. When they become tight, weak or uncoordinated, you may feel pain in the pelvis, lower back or hips. Some people feel discomfort that radiates down the legs. This pain may also come with bladder or bowel problems. It can cause pain when you sit, or discomfort with certain movements and activities.
