What is pelvic floor dysfunction?
Pelvic floor dysfunction refers to an impairment of the strength, coordination or tension of the pelvic floor muscles. It can manifest itself through muscular weakness, reduced control or increased tension in the pelvic floor. It is often caused by pregnancy and childbirth, hormonal changes, surgical interventions or chronic stress.
The supporting and controlling function of the pelvic floor and the interaction with the abdominal and trunk muscles are affected. Targeted physiotherapeutic treatment helps to regulate muscle activity, improve coordination and restore long-term stability in the pelvic area.
Common symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction
Pelvic floor dysfunction can manifest itself in different ways depending on its severity. Typical symptoms are:
- Involuntary loss of urine during exertion (e.g. coughing, sneezing, sport)
- Sudden urge to urinate that is difficult to control
- Feeling of pressure or heaviness in the pelvis
- Feeling of reduced stability in the trunk area
- Difficulty emptying the bladder completely
- Pain or feelings of tension in the pelvic area
- Complaints during physical exertion
If left untreated, functional restrictions can worsen and impair quality of life. Targeted pelvic floor physiotherapy helps to sustainably improve strength, coordination and control.

How can physiotherapy help with pelvic floor dysfunction?
Physiotherapy helps with pelvic floor dysfunction to improve muscular control and specifically reduce functional complaints. Individually tailored exercises, differentiated pelvic floor training and integration into everyday movement sequences strengthen stability in the pelvic area. This can sustainably improve urinary leakage, feelings of pressure or coordination disorders and increase safety in everyday life.
What exercises can you do at home?
In addition to professional pelvic floor physiotherapy, targeted exercises at home can help to gradually improve the function of the pelvic floor:
- Targeted activation of the pelvic floor muscles:
Conscious tension and relaxation exercises promote strength, coordination and control in the pelvic area. - Breathing and awareness exercises:
Controlled breathing techniques support the regulation of muscle tension and improve the interaction between the pelvic floor and core muscles. - Integration into everyday movements:
Adapted exercises while sitting, standing or doing light exercises help to safely integrate pelvic floor activity into everyday movements.
You should always consult a doctor or physiotherapist before starting an exercise program.
