What is Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy?
Pelvic floor physiotherapy is a specialty that comprehensively treats both women and men to maintain pelvic health or address dysfunctions that affect quality of life. The pelvic floor is a set of muscles, ligaments and tissues that support the pelvic organs —bladder, uterus, rectum— and play a fundamental role in functions such as continence, sexuality and postural stability.
Pelvic floor dysfunctions are more common than is believed and may manifest as urinary or faecal incontinence, sexual dysfunctions (dyspareunia, vaginismus), dysmenorrhoea, mucosal imbalances and chronic pelvic pain. These conditions, often kept silent, have effective treatment through specialised physiotherapy.
In addition, pelvic floor physiotherapy accompanies women during pregnancy, with birth preparation techniques —such as perineal massage and breathing exercises—, and during the postpartum period, guiding recovery to the complete restoration of pelvic and abdominal function.
The techniques used include Kegel exercises, manual therapy, biofeedback, postural education and electrostimulation, always adapted to the needs of each patient.
At Clínica Eupnea in Palamós, we offer a personalised approach based on scientific evidence.

Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy Treatments at Clínica Eupnea Palamós
Pelvic floor assessment
We carry out a complete functional examination of the pelvic musculature to determine its condition, tone, strength and coordination capacity. This initial assessment is essential to design an individualised treatment plan adapted to each patient.
Perineal rehabilitation
Through Kegel exercises, biofeedback techniques and electrostimulation, we work to strengthen the pelvic floor musculature, improve continence and restore functionality. The programme is progressively adjusted according to each person's evolution.
Birth preparation
We offer a complete preparation programme that includes specific exercises for the pelvic floor, perineal massage to increase tissue elasticity and breathing techniques that facilitate labour and reduce the risk of perineal injuries.
Postpartum recovery
We accompany women in the comprehensive postpartum treatment, with a programme of abdominal and pelvic rehabilitation that covers the recovery of muscle tone, the treatment of scars (episiotomy, caesarean) and postural re-education.
Treatment of abdominal diastasis
We apply specific exercises to recover the functionality of the rectus abdominis muscles, improve the management of intra-abdominal pressures and restore the aesthetics and function of the abdominal wall.
Treatment of chronic pelvic pain
We use manual techniques, myofascial relaxation strategies and postural re-education to address chronic pelvic pain, identifying and treating the triggering and maintaining factors of the pain.
