Q & A WHAT IS PELVIC HEALTH PHYSIO?

​What is Pelvic Physiotherapy?
This is a specialized advanced area of physiotherapy that assesses and treats Pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD), which can affect men and women. PFD is a general term that is used to describe a number of conditions that may affect the urinary, reproductive, digestive, sexual and/or stability systems in the pelvis.

​What kind of conditions do we treat?
Conditions that are commonly treated are:
· Bladder issues such as incontinence, urinary frequency or urgency 
· Bowels problems for example constipation and incontinence (leakage) 
· Pelvic organ prolapses
· Gynaecological surgery support pre or post operation 
· Pelvic pain (including pain with intercourse, and pelvic examinations)

In addition 
· Pregnancy related pain and/ or dysfunction (pre- and post-natal)
· Abdominal separation (rectus diastasis)
· Pelvic floor strengthening/awareness
· Caesarean or perineal scar management
· Pelvic girdle pain
· Orthopaedics 
o Low back pain 
o Neck pain 
o Hip
o Post-surgical 
 
How can Pelvic Physiotherapy help? 
For a lot of women, I see getting treatment in this specialized area is life changing. Unlike a sore arm or leg that is obvious to those around you, pelvic issues are considered a taboo to discuss and as a result so many people suffer in silence.  Restoration in this area comes in different forms and the most common statements are: 
I am no longer in pain 
I can jump on the trampoline with my kids 
I can go back to running 
I don’t have to hold back on laughing 
I can leave the house
