Which fruit is good for the pelvic floor?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fruits that contain fibre, such as berries, pears, apples, oranges, and prunes, may help support regular bowel movements.

A physiotherapist can recommend exercises based on your health and abilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>8. What happens during the first appointment?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your physiotherapist will usually ask about your symptoms, bladder and bowel habits, medical history, daily activities, and goals. They may assess your posture, breathing, movement, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newhopephysio.com\/blog\/pelvic-floor-physiotherapy-what-happens-in-the-first-session\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pelvic floor<\/a> function with your consent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>9.
