Pelvic health physiotherapy
is a specialized treatment aiming to alleviate issues such as incontinence, pelvic pain, and post-partum discomfort.
During an assessment, you will be given the time to tell your physiotherapist all about you, your medical history, and how your present-day symptoms have impacted your life. Any questionnaires that are completed before your appointment will also be reviewed to help create an individualized, evidence-based treatment plan that will help you reach your goals.
Your therapist will also complete a physical assessment which may include an evaluation of your breathing, posture, and strength/movement levels. Your therapist may also use internal and external techniques to evaluate the function of the muscles, joints, connective tissues, nerves, and ligaments in your pelvic girdle, lower back, and hips.
Ideal candidates include those experiencing urinary or fecal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, or chronic pelvic pain. Treatment can include education, manual therapy,
individualized exercises, and connective/soft tissue release techniques. Internal treatment techniques are only performed with your consent during follow-up appointments.
By performing internal treatment techniques, your pelvic health physiotherapist can provide more accurate feedback to ensure you are using the optimal technique during exercises to achieve relaxation or strengthening of the pelvic floor muscles.
Rest assured that your comfort and privacy are prioritized at every stage. Connect with our clinic today to start your journey towards enhanced pelvic health and well-being.
