The pelvis is the central fulcrum of the body, houses multiple organs, has multiple upper and lower body attachments and a whole lot of fascia and neural tissues. This means a whole lot of changes and issues can occur due to hormonal fluctuations, pregnancy adaptations, birthing issues, surgical procedures and general wear and tear. This small area of the body has a LOT going on without considering all the jobs your pelvic floor has to do.So if you have any problem you would like to discuss you can arrange for a telephone or email consultation prior to your appointment.
