Pelvic Health Physiotherapy
Prenatal and Postnatal (Pregnancy and Postpartum Support and Recovery)
Prenatal and postnatal physiotherapy is essential for managing the physical changes and demands of pregnancy and childbirth. Your physiotherapist will help to maintain and support your physical activity during pregnancy, and guide you to a safe return to activity postpartum.
Men’s Health
Men’s health physiotherapy addresses a range of issues including pelvic pain, urination and bowel movements, and recovery after prostate surgery. It involves specialized techniques and exercises aimed at improving pelvic floor function, reducing pain, and enhancing overall well-being.
Diastasis Recti and Abdominal Rehabilitation
Diastasis recti, characterized by the separation of abdominal muscles, is common after pregnancy. Abdominal rehabilitation focuses on strengthening the musculature, reducing muscle separation, and restoring function and appearance through targeted exercises and techniques.
Incontinence (Urinary and Fecal)
Incontinence, whether urinary or fecal, can significantly impact daily life. Physiotherapy can help manage and improve this condition through pelvic floor strengthening, behavioral strategies, and lifestyle modifications, ultimately restoring confidence and independence.
Pelvic Girdle Pain
Pelvic girdle pain, which can occur during or after pregnancy or with chronic conditions, affects mobility and comfort. Physiotherapy uses gentle manual therapy, specific exercises, and supportive techniques to alleviate pain and enhance movement, making daily activities easier and more comfortable.
Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Pelvic organ prolapse, where pelvic organs descend into or outside the vaginal canal, can cause significant discomfort. Conservative management through physiotherapy includes pelvic floor muscle training and lifestyle adjustments to support and improve the condition.
Constipation/Anorectal Disorders
Chronic constipation and anorectal disorders can be distressing and painful. Physiotherapy includes bowel management techniques and pelvic floor rehabilitation to help achieve regular, pain-free bowel movements and improve overall digestive health.
