Pelvic floor physiotherapy for women in Basel - for more control and quality of life
A well-functioning pelvic floor is crucial for quality of life, body control and well-being. For complaints such as incontinence, prolapse problems or pain, we at PhysioART Basel offer discreet and targeted pelvic floor therapy that is tailored to your individual needs.
- Gentle, effective methods for incontinence & prolapse problems
- Modern methods such as biofeedback & electrostimulation
- Combination with breathing, posture and movement training
Why is the Pelvic floor important?
The pelvic floor is a central muscle network that supports the bladder, bowel and uterus. It plays an essential role in the closure of the bladder and bowel, in posture and in stable interaction with the abdominal and back muscles. After pregnancy, childbirth, operations or hormonal changes, it can become weakened or overloaded, causing discomfort in everyday life.
What symptoms does a weak pelvic floor cause?
An impaired pelvic floor can lead to various complaints that severely restrict quality of life:
- Involuntary loss of urine during exercise (stress incontinence)
- Sudden, barely controllable urge to urinate (urge incontinence)
- Difficulty emptying the bladder or bowel
- Pain in the pelvic or genital area
- Prolapse complaints such as bladder or uterine prolapse (descensus)
- Overactive bladder or irritable bladder
- Faecal incontinence
These symptoms are common but treatable and usually improve significantly with targeted therapy.
Which methods are used for pelvic floor therapy?
The aim of pelvic floor therapy at PhysioART is to sustainably improve the function and control of the pelvic floor muscles - through strengthening or relaxation, depending on the symptoms.
We use the following methods for this:
- Perception and posture training
- Specific exercises to activate, strengthen or relax the pelvic floor
- Manual techniques to relieve muscular tension
- Behavioural training to improve bladder and bowel control
- Supplementary aids such as biofeedback or electrical stimulation, if required
Therapy is always individualised and carried out by specialised physiotherapists - professionally, sensitively and discreetly.
Pelvic floor training for women - more stability and control in everyday life
A strong pelvic floor is the basis for female health - at any age. Whether after giving birth, during the menopause or simply in everyday life: the pelvic floor supports the bladder, bowel and uterus, ensures an upright posture and plays a key role in continence and intimate well-being. If it is weakened by pregnancy, hormonal changes or age-related tissue changes, this can lead to symptoms such as incontinence, prolapse or pain.
Targeted training - supported by biofeedback
Our pelvic floor therapy combines tried-and-tested exercises with innovative techniques such as biofeedback or electrostimulation. Biofeedback in particular helps women who find it difficult to perceive their pelvic floor to recognise the correct muscle activity and train it effectively. This makes the training not only perceptible but also measurable and supports a lasting improvement in your symptoms.
