Pelvic Health Physiotherapy can play a huge role in balancing a person’s physical, emotional, mental and social wellbeing.
If you’re experiencing pelvic pain, leakage or other issues, it really can have a disproportionate impact on your ability to enjoy the things you love and maintain an active lifestyle. This is why we’re passionate about being able to provide a Pelvic Health Physiotherapy service.
So let’s start by giving you some more information…
What is Pelvic Health Physiotherapy?
A Pelvic Health Physiotherapist treats pelvic pain and issues to help you regain the best possible functioning and management of your bladder, bowel and reproductive organs.
You would look to see a Pelvic Health physiotherapist if you have any problems with bladder or bowel incontinence, your hormonal health, post-surgery, pain around your pelvis or lower back during your normal every day activities, including intercourse or using tampons, work-related activities, or exercise. Remember that back pain, leakage and pelvic pain are all very common and treatable. It’s not something you just have to live with!
In addition to the above, seeing a Pelvic Health Physiotherapist during pregnancy, or after giving birth, can have enduring benefits. Your physiotherapist can assess your pelvic floor function during pregnancy and work with you to re-train your pelvic health and reduce risk of pelvic complications throughout pregnancy. Since October 2022, ACC cover a wide range of injuries women might receive after giving birth too.
Qualified Pelvic Health Physiotherapists
Pelvic Health Physiotherapists have undertaken dedicated post-graduate training in the assessment and treatment of pelvic issues and pain people may experience. Depending on your symptoms and concerns we review your medical history, assess full body function and can complete an internal examination if that’s needed. We then deliver individualised and accurate management strategies, as well as tailor a Pelvic Floor exercise program that is specific to you and your Pelvic Health.
We want you to receive the best support possible, regain confidence in your body, and get you back to doing the things you enjoy!
