pelvic health Physiotherapy

---

Pelvic floor physiotherapy focuses on the pelvic floor muscle group which is responsible for a variety of functions. These muscles are important for bladder and bowel continence, pelvic organ support, sexual function, lumbo-pelvic stability, and act as a pump for fluid in the pelvis.

• All assessments and treatments are held in a private room on a one-to- one basis
• A review of your medical history and a thorough discussion about your symptoms, problems, and goals
• An assessment of the lower back, pelvis, hip and core function
• An external and internal examination of the pelvic floor musculature will be conducted. With an internal exam, a full and proper assessment can be made of the muscles of the pelvic floor that cannot be examined externally. Research has shown that the treatments carried out by a physiotherapist for pelvic floor problems are highly successful for both pelvic pain and incontinence. However, if an internal exam is not tolerable initially, we can begin with an external approach and progress to internal if or when appropriate
• A customized treatment plan specific to your condition and goals
