Answering your women's health questions
What will happen during my initial appointment?
Our initial appointment will be about getting to know you and why you’ve come to see us. This includes taking a detailed history of your concerns, and learning how they affect you and if you’ve tried any treatment options before. We’ll then work together to form a treatment plan tailored to you. Depending on your comfort level and what your treatment plan involves, we may start that day or wait until your next session.
Initial appointment length: 45 min
Initial appointment length for complex/chronic conditions: 60 min
Follow-up appointment length: 30 min
What is pelvic floor physiotherapy?
Pelvic floor physiotherapy is designed to address problems with the pelvic floor and is performed by a pelvic floor physiotherapist. A pelvic floor physiotherapist is a fully qualified physiotherapist with advanced training in pelvic floor conditions.
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that look like a sling from the pubic bone to the tailbone. Their role is to:
- Support the pelvic floor
- Help with bladder and bowel control
- Help with sexual function
- Stabilise the pelvis and spine
If any of these aren’t working properly, it’s known as pelvic floor dysfunction. This may happen because of many reasons, including:
- Pelvic pain
- Lower back pain
- Pregnancy
- Childbirth
- Gynaecological surgery
- Menopause
- Constipation
- Obesity
- Ageing
- Inactivity
- Chronic coughing or lifting
- Muscle tension
In pelvic floor physiotherapy, your physiotherapist may use strategies like tailored exercise programs, education and helping you make lifestyle changes.
