Pelvic Health Physiotherapy
Pelvic Health Physiotherapy looks specifically at the function of the pelvic floor muscles, and is offered by our registered physiotherapist, Nicole. Our pelvic floor is composed of a group of muscles that do their job silently. This allows us to carry on with our day-to-day activities, while not having to worry about our bladder/bowel function, sexual function, lymphatic function as well as structural function. However, most of us don’t have to do anything to ensure good health of these muscles, or even know these muscles exist.
Assessments and Treatments
Pelvic health Physiotherapists are trained in assessing and treating dysfunctions of the pelvic floor, such as incontinence, pelvic pain and/or pain with intercourse, prolapse, constipation, and chronic low back/ hip pain that hasn’t resolved with traditional treatment. Assessments and treatments involve internal and external techniques which focus on the muscles, nerves, connective tissue, joints, ligaments, and tendons of the pelvic girdle, low back and hips. Kegels are not always the answer and your Pelvic Health Physiotherapist will be able to determine the right treatment program for you.
