What our Clients have to say
Frequently Asked Questions
Can strengthening the pelvic muscles prevent prolapse of the pelvic organs?
Yes, the stronger the muscular support the less likely the organs will shift, drop, or herniate through the pelvic floor.
Can exercise reverse a prolapse?
It is unlikely that a well-established prolapse can be reversed, but strengthening can prevent it from getting worse.
What can I expect from pelvic floor physiotherapy that we provide?
During the assessment, the physiotherapist takes a detailed history. This is followed by an external examination which commonly includes assessing posture, flexibility, and strength around your low back, hips, and pelvis. Thereafter, an external and internal examination is completed to assess the pelvic floor muscles to execute abdominal muscle strengthening and pelvic floor muscle strengthening.
What are the treatment options for gynaecology patients?
Several conditions in gynecology may require physiotherapy such as :
Pelvic Pain: Physiotherapy helps in strengthening the pelvic floor which helps reduce the pain.
Dyspareunia: Painful sexual intercourse can be treated by strengthening the pelvic floor.
Uterine prolapse: Kegel exercise is taught to patients of uterine prolapse to retract the protruded organ and strengthen the pelvic floor.
Stress urinary incontinence: When we cough or sneeze, we may pass a small amount of urine. This is known as stress incontinence. Physiotherapeutic exercises help in strengthening the pelvic floor that leads to a more controlled bladder.
