The pelvic floor is a group of muscles and ligaments that support the bladder, uterus and bowel. When the pelvic floor is strong, it supports these organs and helps prevent issues like incontinence and prolapse.
By looking after your pelvic floor in pregnancy and after childbirth, right through to menopause, you will be able to take control of your health and reduce the chance of pelvic floor related issues impacting your life. While you might think you are performing pelvic floor exercises correctly, the only way to know for sure is through an internal assessment.
Appointments always begin with a confidential chat. One of our women’s health physios will ask about your bladder and bowel health, sexual health, medical history, and surgical history. We will also ask if you are experiencing any symptoms and learn more about your lifestyle and physical goals.
In most cases, and always with your consent, we follow this chat with an internal pelvic floor assessment. It isn’t scary and will give us the best idea of how effective you are when engaging your pelvic floor.
Once we are aware of any limitations, we will guide you through relevant exercises and strategies to assist you in your recovery so that you can manage any symptoms with confidence.
If further treatment is required, such as a pessary or ultrasound, we will discuss the next steps together and give you the information you need. You will leave feeling supported and in control of your body again.
