Why Pelvic Floor Health Matters Before You Start Trying to Conceive

The pelvic floor does more than support continence — it plays a role in core stability, hormone regulation, and how your body handles the physical demands of pregnancy. Assessing pelvic floor function before you start trying to conceive gives you the most time to address any imbalances, rather than discovering them for the first time during pregnancy or postpartum recovery.

A pelvic health physiotherapist can assess muscle tone, coordination, and any existing pain or dysfunction, and build a plan tailored to your body ahead of pregnancy.
