Unlike regular physiotherapists, our staff have completed additional specialty training to treat pelvic health conditions for women, men, children and LGBTQI who may be experiencing issues such as bladder and bowel control, constipation, prolapse, pelvic pain, hip, coccyx, pain during pregnancy, post natal recovery as well as gynaecological and prostatectomy rehabilitation. Your pelvic health physio will assess your pelvic floor muscles (muscles that support your pelvic organs like your bladder, bowel and for females, your uterus) to assess your condition and provide a treatment plan.
A referral is not required to see any of our physiotherapists. We can certainly accept any referrals from GPs and specialists that you may have received.
Please bring to your appointment any doctors or specialist referrals, along with any medical history and results you have that may be relevant to your condition.
Your first appointment will last about an hour. Your physio will discuss your medical history, do a thorough pelvic health assessment and provide information and an individual treatment/exercise program to help you achieve your pelvic health goals. This may include an internal examination, with your consent and depending on your circumstances and condition.
Your physiotherapist will be able to indicate how many appointments you may need once they have assessed your condition. They will then provide you with a treatment plan to improve your pelvic health and achieve your goals.
