How many sessions of pelvic floor physio do I need?

Short Answer: It Depends. Real Answer: Let’s Break It Down.

So you’ve booked your first pelvic floor physio appointment — or you’re thinking about it.
Maybe you’re dealing with:

• Leaking when you laugh, run, or lift
• Pressure or heaviness “down there”
• Pain with sex
• Postpartum recovery
• Chronic low back or pelvic pain
• Constipation or trouble relaxing your pelvic muscles

Whatever brought you here, you’re now wondering:
“How many sessions is this going to take?”

The Short Answer: Most People Need 4–8 Sessions to See Meaningful Results

That said, the exact number depends on:

• What issue you’re dealing with (leaking vs. prolapse vs. pain)
• How long you’ve had the symptoms
• Your ability to integrate exercises between sessions
• Whether it’s your first time doing pelvic floor rehab — or a return
• Your general health, stress levels, and movement habits

What to Expect at YFS (Your Form Sux)

We don’t do cookie-cutter protocols.
Your plan is built around you — your body, your goals, and your lifestyle. But here’s what a typical client journey often looks like:

Session 1: Full Assessment

We evaluate how your pelvic floor functions — strength, tension, control — and how it interacts with your breathing, core, posture, and movement.
(Yes, we can do internal assessments if you’re comfortable, but consent and comfort are everything.)

Sessions 2–4: Early Rehab

We focus on awareness, breath, and gentle activation or relaxation work.
You’ll be surprised how much your pelvic floor is connected to everything else (back, hips, glutes, even your feet).

Sessions 5–8: Strength, Integration + Real-World Movement

Here’s where we level up — squats, lifting, walking, running, sex, sneezing, whatever your goals are.
We make sure your pelvic floor holds up under load — not just in a quiet clinic room.

Can You See Results Sooner?

Yes — many people feel more connected, less pain, or better bladder control after just 1–2 sessions.

But long-term change takes consistency, coaching, and smart progression. This isn’t about Kegels in isolation — it’s about restoring real function.

What If You’re Postpartum?

Good question.

Whether you had a baby 6 weeks ago or 6 years ago — your timeline will depend on:

• Vaginal birth vs. C-section
• Degree of tearing or trauma
• Ab separation (diastasis recti)
• Your current activity level and goals

👉 On average, 8–12 sessions (spaced over a few months) can rebuild strength, control, and confidence — especially if you’re returning to sport, lifting, or high-impact activity.

What If You Just Want a Check-In?

That’s valid too.

A single pelvic floor assessment can:

• Catch issues before they become problems
• Help you prep for birth
• Screen for hidden dysfunction
• Improve how your whole core works — even if you’re symptom-free

We call it preventative care for your pelvic floor. And yes, it’s a thing.

Final Word: It’s Not About the Number — It’s About the Plan

The real question isn’t “How many sessions do I need?”
It’s: “What’s the best way to get my body back to full function, safely and confidently?”

At YFS, we guide you through that plan step-by-step — no shame, no fluff, and no pressure. Just skilled care for a part of your body that deserves more attention than it probably ever got.
