Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy for Transgender and Gender-Diverse Health
Pelvic floor physiotherapy offers a supportive approach to common pelvic health concerns among transgender, non-binary, and gender-diverse individuals. Changes related to hormone therapy, gender-affirming surgeries, and practices like binding or tucking may affect the pelvic floor, leading to discomfort or functional issues. Our specialized physiotherapists provide affirming, personalized care to help manage these concerns, supporting healing, comfort, and well-being.
Inclusive Pelvic Health Support
Here are some of the common conditions treated in men:
Common Pelvic Health Concerns
-
Post-Surgical Recovery: After gender-affirming surgeries, pelvic floor physiotherapy can aid in managing pain, scar tissue, and mobility, promoting a smooth recovery.
-
Urinary and Bowel Issues: Binding, tucking, or pelvic floor muscle imbalance can lead to challenges with bladder and bowel control, which physiotherapy can help address.
-
Pelvic Pain and Tension: Binding or tucking can strain pelvic muscles, while dysphoria, stress, or trauma may also contribute to pain or tension, which therapy techniques can help relieve.
-
Intimacy and Sensation: Tight or weakened pelvic muscles can affect comfort during intimacy or reduce sensation; physiotherapy helps improve muscle function, sensitivity, and control.
