treating Pelvic Floor Dysfunction Guide 

Breaking the Silence Around Pelvic Floor Health

Pelvic floor issues are more common than you might think, but many women suffer in silence due to stigma, embarrassment, or lack of awareness. At Just Physio, we understand the physical and emotional toll that pelvic floor dysfunction can have on your daily life. Our dedicated team, led by pelvic floor physiotherapy expert Liza van Rooyen, is here to provide compassionate and effective care to help you regain control and live confidently.

Women often hesitate to seek help for pelvic floor issues because of societal stigma or fear of being misunderstood. Many women feel isolated, believing that pelvic discomfort, bladder control problems, or pain during intercourse are simply part of ageing, pregnancy, or postnatal recovery. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

Pelvic floor physiotherapy offers proven, non-invasive, holistic treatments that can address these conditions and improve your quality of life. With the right support, you can experience relief from symptoms, regain your strength, and restore balance to your body.
