Women's Health Physio

Pelvic floor dysfunction can manifest in various ways, and it is important to recognise the symptoms that may indicate the need for women’s health pelvic floor physiotherapy:

• Urinary Incontinence: Accidental leakage of urine during activities such as coughing, sneezing, or exercising.
• Pelvic Organ Prolapse: A sensation of heaviness or pressure in the pelvic region, often accompanied by a bulging sensation.
• Pelvic Pain: Discomfort or pain in the pelvic area, including the lower abdomen, groin, or perineum.
• Dyspareunia: Pain during sexual intercourse.
• Pre and Postnatal Concerns: Addressing issues related to pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum recovery.

A thorough assessment is an essential part of women’s health pelvic floor physiotherapy. During the assessment, our experienced physiotherapists will evaluate the strength, coordination, and endurance of the pelvic floor muscles, as well as assess any dysfunctions or imbalances.
