The pelvic floor is a crucial group of muscles and connective tissues that support your bladder, uterus (in women), rectum, and core stability. When these muscles are too weak or too tight, they can cause discomfort and affect daily life. Understanding the signs is the first step toward relief.
At Realign Chiro Physio & Rehab in Langley, our pelvic health physiotherapists specialize in diagnosing and treating pelvic floor dysfunction to help you regain strength, comfort, and confidence.
Symptoms of Pelvic Floor Weakness
Weak pelvic floor muscles may struggle to support your organs or control bodily functions. Look out for:
- Urinary incontinence – leaking when coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercising
- Frequent urges to urinate or difficulty emptying the bladder
- Bowel issues – constipation or accidental leakage
- Pelvic organ prolapse – sensation of heaviness, pressure, or bulging in the pelvic area
- Lower back, hip, or pelvic pain – often due to reduced support
Symptoms of Pelvic Floor Tightness
Tight or overactive pelvic floor muscles can lead to discomfort and functional issues:
- Painful urination or bowel movements
- Pain during or after intercourse
- Pelvic pressure or aching
- Difficulty inserting a tampon or pessary
- Muscle spasms or a feeling of tightness in the pelvic region
Why Pelvic Floor Health Matters
Both weakness and tightness can impact your quality of life, mobility, and confidence. Fortunately, pelvic floor physiotherapy can help:
- Strengthening weak muscles
- Relaxing tight or overactive muscles
