The focus is on the treatment of pelvic floor related disorders like incontinence and prolapse by restoring muscle function to the pelvic floor. Motion Health offers discrete treatment for both women and men.

- Leaking urine/faeces when you cough / sneeze or exercise
- Leaking urine on the way to the toilet
- Urinary / bowel frequency and / or urgency
- Difficultly holding onto wind

Physiotherapists who have expertise in this field have completed Post Graduate qualifications in order to assess the pelvic floor function and prescribe an appropriate, tailored exercise program for clients.
