Pelvic Physiotherapy Consultation

Pelvic physiotherapy, also known as urogynecological physiotherapy, is a specialty within physiotherapy that focuses on preventing, treating, and rehabilitating dysfunctions of the pelvic floor and the lower abdominal region. The pelvic floor is a complex structure made up of muscles, ligaments, and tissues that support organs such as the bladder, uterus, vagina, and rectum.

This area of physiotherapy can help people of all ages and both sexes, but it is especially useful for women who are preparing for childbirth, who have recently had babies, who are going through menopause, or who have problems associated with urinary or fecal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, sexual dysfunction, chronic pelvic pain, among other conditions.

• Education on the anatomy and function of the pelvic floor and the lower abdominal region;
• Specific exercises to strengthen or relax the pelvic floor muscles;
• Biofeedback techniques, which help the individual better understand and control their pelvic muscles;
• Manual techniques to relieve pain and improve the mobility of pelvic tissues;
• Advice on lifestyle modification, such as changes in diet and exercise routine.

In many cases, pelvic physiotherapy can offer a non-surgical alternative for treating these conditions. Pelvic physiotherapy can also be an important part of recovery after certain surgeries.
