Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy in Dubai
Private, specialist rehabilitation for bladder control, pelvic pain, and post-natal recovery — in Dubai Healthcare City.
What Is Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy?
Pelvic floor physiotherapy is a specialized form of physiotherapy focused on the muscles and tissues that support the bladder, bowel and pelvic organs. These muscles also play an important role in bladder and bowel control, pelvic stability and sexual function.
Treatment may focus on improving pelvic floor muscle strength and coordination when the muscles are weak or not working effectively. However, not every pelvic floor problem is caused by weakness. Some people have overactive or tight pelvic floor muscles that have difficulty relaxing.
A pelvic floor physiotherapist assesses how these muscles function and develops a treatment approach based on your symptoms, physical findings and individual goals.

Pelvic Floor Problems We Can Help Manage
Urinary Incontinence
Urinary incontinence can cause urine leakage during coughing, sneezing, exercising, lifting or other physical activities. Pelvic floor physiotherapy can help improve muscle control and support better bladder control.
Pelvic Pain
Pelvic pain may feel like discomfort, pressure, aching or tension around the pelvis. Physiotherapy can help identify contributing muscle and movement patterns and address pelvic floor dysfunction where appropriate.
Pelvic Floor Weakness
Weak pelvic floor muscles may affect bladder control, pelvic support and coordination. Physiotherapy can focus on improving muscle activation, strength and functional control.
Tight or Overactive Pelvic Floor
Pelvic floor muscles can sometimes remain tense or have difficulty relaxing. This may be associated with pelvic pain, pressure or problems with normal muscle coordination. Treatment can focus on relaxation, breathing, movement and improved muscle control.
Postpartum Pelvic Floor Changes
Pregnancy and childbirth can affect pelvic floor strength, coordination and function. Physiotherapy can help address symptoms such as urinary leakage, pelvic discomfort and reduced muscle control following childbirth.
Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Pelvic organ prolapse can occur when the tissues and muscles supporting the pelvic organs become less effective. Physiotherapy may help manage symptoms by addressing pelvic floor function, muscle coordination and strategies for everyday activities.
Bowel Control Problems
Pelvic floor muscles contribute to bowel control and coordination. Physiotherapy can help assess muscle function and provide appropriate strategies for people experiencing bowel control difficulties.
Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy for Women's Health
Pelvic floor physiotherapy can play an important role in women's health during pregnancy and after childbirth. Treatment is adapted to the individual's symptoms, stage of recovery and physical needs.
During Pregnancy
Pregnancy can place additional pressure on the pelvic floor and may contribute to symptoms such as urinary leakage, pelvic discomfort or changes in muscle control. Physiotherapy can help support pelvic floor function and provide strategies for managing these changes during pregnancy.
After Childbirth
The pelvic floor may be affected by pregnancy and vaginal or assisted delivery. Some women experience weakness, urinary leakage, pelvic discomfort or changes in muscle coordination after childbirth. Physiotherapy can help assess these symptoms and support recovery.
Postpartum Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation
Postpartum rehabilitation focuses on gradually restoring strength, coordination and control. Your physiotherapist can guide you through appropriate exercises and functional strategies as your body recovers.
