What is chronic pelvic pain?
Chronic pelvic pain is persistent pain in the lower abdomen or pelvis lasting more than six months. It can involve pelvic floor muscles that have become tight and overactive, though other factors may also contribute. Physiotherapy assesses and treats this with manual therapy, relaxation, and retraining, usually as part of a wider care plan with your doctor. Any intimate or internal assessment happens only with your informed consent and privacy, and you can stop at any time. Internal assessment is not mandatory to book or begin care, and your physiotherapist should explain all options and only proceed with your consent.
