Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy
Pelvic Floor Care for a Stronger, Healthier You
Pelvic health physiotherapy is a division of physiotherapy that helps women and men of all ages with pelvic health concerns.
NO SHAME, NO FEAR, NO EMBARRASSMENT.
Pelvic health physiotherapy involves the assessment and treatment of problems that can arise from the pelvic floor or surrounding structures (such as the abdominal wall, low back, and surgical scars).
Research suggests pelvic health physiotherapy as the first line of treatment for pelvic floor dysfunctions and as an alternative to medicine or surgery where indicated.
"The Cochrane Collaboration 2010 concluded that Physiotherapists with specialized training in pelvic floor rehabilitation (using internal examination to teach the exercises) should be the first line of defense, before surgical consultation, for stress, urge and mixed incontinence in women."
Pelvic health physiotherapy can help you to be educated & informed so that you can make your choices wisely.
