Faecal Incontinence
A pelvic health physiotherapist can play a crucial role in the management of faecal incontinence. They specialize in treating conditions related to the pelvic floor muscles, which play an important role in controlling bowel movements.
During an initial assessment, we will evaluate the strength and function of your pelvic floor muscles. Based on this assessment, we develop an individualized treatment plan that may include pelvic floor muscle exercises, biofeedback, bowel retraining, dietary & lifestyle changes and manual therapy.
By working with a pelvic health physiotherapist, someone living with faecal incontinence can improve their bowel control, reduce symptoms, and improve their quality of life.
Fissures (Anal)
Our team of pelvic health physiotherapist can provide an individualized treatment plan to help manage and prevent anal fissures, improve bowel function, and reduce pain and discomfort associated with the condition.
We will assess the pelvic floor muscles, provide pelvic floor exercises, educate on proper bowel habits, provide manual therapy and collaborate with other healthcare providers such as gastroenterologists or colorectal surgeons, to ensure comprehensive management of the condition.
Frequency
We can help with frequency of urination or bowel movements in several ways, depending on the underlying cause of the frequency.
Your physiotherapist will conduct a thorough assessment of your pelvic floor muscles, which are the muscles that control the bladder and bowel. They will evaluate the strength, tone, and flexibility of these muscles to determine if there is any dysfunction that could be contributing to your frequency.
They will provide targeted treatment to improve your pelvic health and quality of life.
If you’re experiencing any of the above, please know you’re not alone.
We’re here to help!
