Pelvic Floor Therapy and Dysfunction

What Is Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation?

Pelvic floor rehabilitation is a specialised therapy aimed at strengthening the pelvic floor muscles, which support the bladder, uterus, and rectum. These muscles can weaken due to childbirth, hormonal changes, or ageing, leading to pelvic pain, incontinence and discomfort.

Rehabilitation focuses on restoring function through targeted exercises and noninvasive therapies such as BTL Emsella.

Why Should Women Prioritise Pelvic Floor Therapy in Singapore?

Neglecting pelvic floor health can lead to worsening symptoms over time. Pelvic floor therapy in Singapore can:

  • Improve bladder control and reduce incontinence.
  • Enhance sexual health and sensation.
  • Prevent pelvic organ prolapse.
  • Reduce pelvic pain and discomfort.

Women deserve to feel comfortable and in control—without worrying about leaks, discomfort, or sudden urges.

What Causes Weak Pelvic Floor Muscles?

Though the exact cause remains unclear, studies have linked pelvic floor problems to conditions or events that weaken the pelvic muscles and their supporting tissues, including:

  • Childbirth
  • Traumatic injury to the pelvic region
  • Pelvic or gynaecological surgery
  • Pelvic organ prolapse
  • Nerve damage
  • Obesity

What Are The Symptoms of Weak Pelvic Floor Muscles?

  • Urine leakage when coughing, sneezing, laughing or running
  • Urinary incontinence, pelvic pain
  • Inability to reach the toilet in time
  • Unable to control passing gas, faeces leakage
  • Reduced sensations in the vagina
  • Dislodging of tampons or having them fall out easily
  • Having a significant bulge at the vaginal opening
  • A heavy sensation in the vagina; feelings of heaviness or dragging in the pelvis or back
  • Recurring urinary tract infections 
  • Vulval pain, pain during sexual intercourse, and an inability to orgasm

If you’re experiencing these symptoms, know you’re not alone. Our female care team is here to listen, support, and guide you towards the right solution.

The Three Types of Urinary Incontinence

1

Stress incontinence

Leaking occurs when coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercising.

 

2

Urge incontinence

A sudden and/or intense urge to pee, often followed by involuntary leakage.

 

3

Mixed incontinence

A combination of stress and urge incontinence.

By understanding your unique experience with incontinence, we can create a personalised treatment plan that truly supports your comfort, confidence, and well-being.

How Does Emsella Work?

Emsella uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to stimulate the entire pelvic floor. One session generates the equivalent of thousands of Kegel contractions, deeply strengthening the muscles and improving bladder control without any effort required.

Benefits of Emsella

No surgery, no downtime, and lasts only half an hour.
Noticeable improvement after a single session, with results building over the subsequent few sessions.
Restores bladder and pelvic floor health without time-consuming exercise.

BTL Emsella patients have reported a significant pad reduction—With 95% of treated patients reporting a significant quality-of-life improvement.

 

Who Is a Good Candidate for Emsella?

Emsella is ideal for:

  • Women experiencing urinary incontinence without a urinary tract infection.
  • Postpartum mothers with weakened pelvic floor muscles.
  • Women in perimenopause or menopause with bladder concerns.
  • Women who experience urine leakage when coughing, sneezing, laughing,  exercising or playing sports.
  • Women who are unable to control faeces leakage.
  • Women who feel heaviness, a dragging sensation, or a bulge in the vagina.

After a few sessions, my DR gap improved and i also noticed less bloating. I can fit into my clothes better too.

Jodie has been such a great help in my health journey! She really took the time to help me understand my body and gave super practical tips that actually fit into my daily routine. I learned so much about portion control, and I love how she explained how nutrition and exercise can be adjusted around the menstrual cycle — it made everything click for me. She’s knowledgeable, approachable, and easy to talk to. I feel a lot more confident now about making choices that work for me. Highly recommend her!

Prologue Wellness takes a truly holistic approach to weight management and well-being. Instead of quick fixes, they focus on educating clients about proper nutrition, helping us build sustainable habits that improve both health and quality of life.

I also love their Clinical Core & Flow programme, which combines physiotherapy, Pilates, and yoga. It creates a supportive environment for women of all fitness levels.

On top of that, they offer innovative non-invasive treatments like Exion Body, Vanquish Me, and EmBody. These complement their holistic programmes perfectly by supporting body contouring, fat reduction, and muscle strengthening in a safe, effective way.

The team, especially Jodie, Shonia and Serene, are professional, caring, and genuinely invested in their clients’ well-being. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a place that integrates science, movement, and holistic care.

The staff’s warmth, support, and use of technology have helped me improve my postpartum core muscles and pelvic floor health

Jean Toh

The struggles of postpartum recovery are real, and I’m so thankful to have found Prologue, a women’s wellness centre that truly understands and supports mothers like me.

Like many postpartum mums, I’ve been dealing with diastasis recti, a bulging tummy that makes me look pregnant, urinary incontinence that limits my activity with my kids, and difficulty losing pregnancy weight due to stress eating and late nights.

Since starting my personalised treatment plan here, I’ve seen real improvements. Weekly sessions with my nutritionist, Jodie, have helped me eat in a balanced and sustainable way. Physiotherapy sessions with Chloe and Jodie have strengthened my core and pelvic floor, while the Emsella chair has improved my incontinence. Embody treatments are helping with my DR, shockwave therapy is reducing bloating and stretch marks, and Exion Body treatments are tightening loose skin.

I’m truly grateful for the professional, encouraging, and caring team at Prologue who have supported me every step of the way. Highly recommended to any postpartum mother looking to recover, rebuild, and regain confidence.
