Pelvic floor physiotherapy
Pelvic floor assessment and physiotherapy in Playa de San Juan, Alicante: urinary leakage, pregnancy and postpartum, menopause, pelvic pain, endometriosis and sexual health. We also see men and children. With time, respect and clear language.
What the pelvic floor is and why it matters
The pelvic floor is the group of muscles and tissues that closes the lower part of the pelvis. It plays a role in continence, sexuality, trunk stability, and pregnancy and birth.
Throughout life it can be affected by pregnancy, childbirth, hormonal changes, surgery, sport or repeated strain. Many of the related symptoms are common, but that does not mean they should be considered normal. Getting it checked is the first step.

Talking about sexuality naturally
Pain or discomfort during sex is a common reason for consultation and yet one of the hardest to talk about. In many cases the pelvic floor plays an important role, and physiotherapy can be part of the approach.
We listen without rushing or judging, explain what is happening and what the options are, and always respect your limits and your decisions.

Frequently asked questions
Is the assessment uncomfortable?
We explain each step before doing it and only continue if you agree. You can stop at any time.
Is it normal to leak urine after giving birth or with age?
It is common, but it is not something you simply have to accept. Getting it checked lets you know what is happening and what options you have.
When can I start after giving birth?
Check with your midwife or gynaecologist. When you contact us, we will advise you on the right time for your case.
Do I need a doctor’s referral?
For most appointments it isn’t necessary. If you have reports, bring them to your first session.
How long is the appointment and how much does it cost?
Sessions last 55 minutes. You will find prices and packages, in full detail, in our TRAININ booking app.
