By life stage
Different situations occur at various stages of life where targeted pelvic floor treatment can help.
Pregnancy
Pregnancy places a heavy burden on the pelvic floor. Targeted exercises help strengthen it during pregnancy and prevent issues such as pain or incontinence. In addition, pelvic floor therapy can provide personalized recommendations for physical activity and daily routines to relieve and support the pelvic floor as best as possible.

I treat common issues like back pain or tension in the pelvic region using a combination of hands-on techniques and targeted exercises – always tailored to your individual needs during pregnancy.
Pre- & postpartum
Targeted pelvic floor therapy before and after childbirth is essential to prepare the muscles for delivery and strengthen them again afterward.
Menopause
Hormonal changes can lead to tissue changes, incontinence, or pain, among other things. Pelvic floor training and targeted therapy approaches strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and support bladder and sexual function.
By symptoms
Various signs indicate that pelvic floor therapy may be beneficial.
Pelvic pain
Pain in the pelvic area is often caused by muscle tension in the pelvic floor and surrounding muscles. Therapy can provide relief through hands-on techniques, relaxation training, and targeted exercises.
Issues with sexuality
Pain during intercourse, vaginal dryness, or a weakened pelvic floor can affect sexual health. Pelvic floor therapy helps relax or specifically strengthen the muscles and improve body awareness.
Overactive bladder / frequent urge to urinate
An overactive bladder leads to a frequent urge to urinate and involuntary urine leakage. Pelvic floor training and special relaxation techniques can help regulate bladder function.
Diastasis recti
A separation of the abdominal muscles after pregnancy can lead to instability and discomfort. Targeted exercises and pelvic floor training support postpartum recovery and strengthen the core.
By treatment method
Pelvic floor physical therapy utilizes various treatment methods, including the following.
Electrical stimulation
This method can be used to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, relieve pain, or treat an overactive bladder.
Biofeedback
Visual feedback helps improve your awareness of the pelvic floor and activate the muscles effectively – ideal for either strengthening or relaxing the pelvic floor.
