Pelvic Health Physiotherapy
Go from feeling constantly worried and anxious about your pelvic health issues, to forgetting you even had them!
On Your First Visit...
On your first visit to our clinic, we will take a full medical history and discuss with you your specific symptoms, problems and treatment goals.
With your consent, your physiotherapist will complete a physical assessment of the muscles, joints and tissues of the pelvic floor, hips and low back. This may include internal and external examinations to identify the affected tissues that may be contributing to your urinary, bowel or pelvic pain symptoms.
Your initial visit takes approximately 50 minutes and will provide plenty of time for questions to ensure you have a good understanding of your condition and your treatment plan.
Can Our Pelvic Health Program Help You?
If you live with any of the following problems, you may benefit from our pelvic floor program:
Chronic Pelvic Pain
Pain in or around the pelvic region for more than three months.
Abdominal Seperation
Post-partum separation of your abdominal muscles that persists longer than 8 weeks after giving birth.
Urinary Urgency
A compelling urge to urinate that may be difficult to control.
Urinary Leakage
Leakage of urine with coughing, sneezing or jumping that cannot be controlled.
Hip, Low Back & Sacroiliac Pain
Persistent pain that has not resolved with other forms of treatment.
Urinary Frequency
Having to urinate so frequently that your normal routine is affected.
Our Pelvic Program Uses a wide range of Treatment Techniques To Get Results.
Hands On Manual Therapy
The latest hands-on techniques to release trigger points, muscle tightness and joint stiffness in the low back, hips and pelvis that may be contributing to your problem.
Exercise Programs
An individualized exercise program may include breathing exercises, postural exercises, stretching, strengthening for the pelvic floor, core, low back and hips.
Pelvic Floor Muscle Retraining
Biofeedback and breathing techniques help retrain weak, dysfunctional or tight pelvic floor muscles. You learn how to use the pelvic floor muscles more effectively, which can help improve incontinence and pain.
Education About Your Problem
Knowledge is power! Understanding your condition helps you take control of your problem and is vital to your recovery.
Other Treatments to Relieve Pain
This may include the use of heat, cold, trans-electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), guided imagery, breathing and relaxation techniques.
